How do I configure the black formatter for my Python project?

To configure the black formatter, you can create a pyproject.toml file in your project root and add the following configuration:

[tool.black]
line-length = 88

Can I customize the line length or other settings?

Yes, you can customize the line length by changing the line-length value in the pyproject.toml file. You can also add other options like skip-string-normalization.

What if I want to format my code automatically on save?

If you're using an IDE like VSCode, you can set up a formatter on save by adding the following to your settings:

"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"python.formatting.provider": "black"

Is there a way to check if my code is formatted correctly?

Yes, you can run black --check . in your terminal to see if your code is formatted according to black's standards.
