I would LOVE if this package supported formatting.

That appears to be the easiest to achieve it. It would be great if there was a "format on save" option. As well as if IntelliJ picked it up as a formatter so I could run it on a full file.

I'd personally say the more opinionated the better. But would also make sense if it supported having an optional configuration file if you wanted to configure it: https://github.com/nicklockwood/SwiftFormat (or bonus - if you could do this from IntelliJ settings).

Apple has their own, which I'd be fine with as well: https://github.com/apple/swift-format

I've set up the File Watcher plugin with SwiftFormat to automatically format my files on save.
