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 an option to preserve original whitespace separators and multiline formatting while sorting utility classes.
    • Class sorting continues to remove duplicate classes while retaining appropriate spacing and layout.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved whitespace handling when duplicate classes are removed, including trailing spaces and multiline output.
  • Configuration

    • The new whitespace-preservation option is disabled by default, maintaining 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. CLI and test configurations explicitly set the option to false.

Changes

Whitespace preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration contract and defaults
rustywind-core/src/app.rs, rustywind-cli/src/options.rs, rustywind-core/tests/test_tailwind_prefix.rs
Adds RustyWind::preserve_whitespace and initializes it to false in constructors, CLI setup, and affected test configurations.
Whitespace-aware sorting and validation
rustywind-core/src/app.rs
Selects whitespace-preserving output when enabled, interleaves sorted classes with original separators, retains trailing whitespace, removes surplus separators after deduplication, and adds coverage for multiline output and duplicate classes.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 348f0

Adding a required public field to RustyWind breaks downstream complete struct literals at compile time, so the PR is not merge-ready until the compatibility and release path is handled or the breaking change is explicitly accepted and documented.

Greptile Summary

This PR adds positional whitespace preservation when sorting static class runs while retaining the existing single-space behavior by default.

  • Adds the preserve_whitespace option to RustyWind.
  • Reuses original separator slots after sorting and handles separators removed by deduplication.
  • Adds multiline preservation and deduplication tests.
  • Initializes the option as disabled in the CLI, but does not provide a way for CLI users to enable it.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The CLI-facing omission should be fixed before merging because command-line users currently have no way to enable the whitespace-preservation feature.

The core implementation preserves separators when explicitly enabled, but the sole CLI construction path always disables the option and the CLI parser exposes no corresponding input.

Files Needing Attention: rustywind-cli/src/options.rs and rustywind-cli/src/main.rs

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
rustywind-core/src/app.rs Adds the opt-in separator-interleaving implementation, defaults, and focused tests; the core static-class path is internally consistent.
rustywind-cli/src/options.rs Initializes preserve_whitespace to false without wiring any CLI or configuration input, making the feature unreachable from the CLI.
rustywind-core/tests/test_tailwind_prefix.rs Updates existing RustyWind literals for the new field without changing prefix-test behavior.

P1 CLI option is permanently disabled

When a CLI user wants to preserve a multiline class layout, Options::new_from_cli always sets preserve_whitespace to false and no CLI argument or configuration field can override it, so CLI formatting continues to flatten the class list.

Publish this as a breaking RustyWind API change

preserve_whitespace is a new required public field on RustyWind. Downstream complete struct literals will fail to compile; Default and the constructors do not protect those literals. Release rustywind-core and its exact-version dependents as a breaking version, and document the migration. If source compatibility is required, expose this option through a builder or method instead of adding a field to the public struct.
