Fixes #121

Sorting always rejoins a class run with single spaces, so a class list deliberately spread over several indented lines is flattened into one long line:

<div
  class="
-    text-white p-4
-    flex w-full
-  "
+  "flex w-full p-4 text-white"
 >

This was raised in #25, but the resolution took a more minimal approach to keep it simpler.
prettier-plugin-tailwindcss handles it by reusing the original whitespace runs positionally, the Nth separator stays the Nth separator. It's gated behind a tailwindPreserveWhitespace flag

This PR adds an equivalent opt-in preserve_whitespace flag on RustyWind (default false, existing behavior unchanged)

I did this change because running rustywind on a large template corpus led to hundreds of template churn where the new single line version is less readable. My code formater was also already preserving multilines so using rustywind defeated that.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a --preserve-whitespace option to retain original spacing and multiline formatting while sorting utility classes.
    • Duplicate classes are still removed while preserving appropriate separators and layout.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of trailing spaces and multiline output when deduplicating classes.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new option and its behavior.
  • Configuration

    • Disabled by default to preserve existing output behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

RustyWind adds a public preserve_whitespace option. When enabled, class sorting retains original separators and multiline layout while deduplicating classes. The CLI forwards the option, and constructors and tests set its default to false.

Changes

Whitespace preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration contract and CLI wiring
rustywind-core/src/app.rs, rustywind-cli/src/main.rs, rustywind-cli/src/options.rs, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, rustywind-core/CHANGELOG.md
Adds RustyWind::preserve_whitespace and the --preserve-whitespace flag. Constructors default the field to false, and CLI options forward its value. Documentation records the behavior and API change.
Whitespace-aware sorting and validation
rustywind-core/src/app.rs, rustywind-core/tests/test_tailwind_prefix.rs
Preserves original separators and multiline layout during sorting, retains trailing whitespace, removes surplus separators after deduplication, and updates affected configurations and tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ff352

The opt-in whitespace-preserving behavior keeps existing defaults unchanged, but adding a required field to a public Rust configuration struct may break downstream callers that construct it with struct literals and require consumer updates. This is a bounded integration risk that should remain with the owner during merge.

Greptile Summary

The PR adds opt-in whitespace-preserving class sorting while retaining the existing normalization behavior by default.

  • Adds and documents the --preserve-whitespace CLI flag.
  • Propagates the flag into the core RustyWind configuration for human and JSON execution paths.
  • Reuses positional whitespace separators while sorting and removes surplus separators during deduplication.
  • Adds coverage for multiline class lists and duplicate removal.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
rustywind-cli/src/main.rs Adds the public --preserve-whitespace argument to the CLI parser.
rustywind-cli/src/options.rs Correctly propagates the parsed CLI value into the shared RustyWind instance, resolving the previously reported disabled-option issue.
rustywind-core/src/app.rs Adds the opt-in core setting, positional separator reconstruction, defaults preserving prior behavior, and focused unit tests.
rustywind-core/tests/test_tailwind_prefix.rs Updates exhaustive RustyWind test literals for the new public configuration field.
