The default editorconfig implementation was changed upstream to the elisp one, but — for the principle of least surprise — I believe it should be the other way around: if the user has the native binary installed, they're likely expecting it to be used; it will fall back to the elisp implementation otherwise. Also updates documentation to reflect these changes and removes the doctor warning about a missing binary. Ref: editorconfig/editorconfig-emacs#209

Description unfold
This module adds EditorConfig support to Emacs, allowing users to dictate code
style on a per-project basis with .editorconfig files (formal specification),
with or without the native editorconfig binary.

Packages
Hacks
- Special integration for
dtrt-indent: If the local editorconfig file specifiesindent_styleorindent_size, the doom-package:dtrt-indent (which tries to guess your indent settings by analyzing your text file) will bow out. - Special integration for
ws-butler: this module will use doom-package:ws-butler to enforcetrim_trailing_whitespace.

Installation
Enable this module in your doom! block.
This module has one optional dependency: the native editorconfig binary.
Without it, a built-in elisp implementation will be used, which is claimed to be
faster and more secure.
If you choose to install the binary, many implementations are available, usually through your OS package manager (if not built from source yourself).
Usage
You will need to write an .editorconfig file in your project (this is usually
in the root of your project) you can find out about all the properties here.

Adding support for more major modes
Out the box, the editorconfig plugin supports many Emacs major modes, but it's
possible you'll find one it doesn't support. Adding support is easy so long as
you know that mode's indentation variables. For example, coffee-mode has a
coffee-tab-width variable that controls indentation width in CoffeeScript
files. Editorconfig already supports this language, but let's pretend it
doesn't:
The editorconfig-indentation-alist variable contains a list of major modes and
their indentation variables. To add coffee-mode to it:
;; in $DOOMDIR/config.el
(after! editorconfig
(add-to-list 'editorconfig-indentation-alist '(coffee-mode coffee-tab-width)))
But what if you don't know the correct indentation variable(s). Use SPC h v (C-h
v for non-evil users) to peruse all the available variables in your current
session of Emacs. Look for variables that have the words indent, offset or
tab-width in them. They will be prefixed with the plugin they belong to (e.g.
rustic-indent-offset).
