flint reads flint.toml from the root of whatever it is run on (--path, defaulting to the current directory). the layout loosely follows biome. every section and key is optional.
see example.flint.toml for a full example with the defaults.
| section | purpose |
|---|---|
[linter] | passed to selene. std and exclude aren’t supported |
[formatter] | passed to stylua. syntax isn’t supported, LuaJIT is always used |
[vcs] | enabled, client_kind (only git), and use_ignore_file. unlike biome, ignore files are respected by default |
[files] | includes: globs of files to operate on, defaulting to ["**/*.lua"]. a leading ! excludes, and the last matching glob wins |
hidden files and directories are always skipped. selene.toml, stylua.toml, and .styluaignore aren’t read.
