TOML formatting option around key alignment

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am modifying TOMLs in Deno. Currently when decoding/parsing the following:

name = "myproject"
version = "0.1.0"

Encoding/to-stringing it space aligns the keys, resulting in:

name    = "myproject"
version = "0.1.0"

Describe the solution you’d like

I would like either by default or by optional setting to not add the alignment. Cargo’s standard does not align them, I would like to retain the non key aligned formatting 😃

@kaleidawave Thank you for your explaining. It makes sense to me. Then in my opinion it would be better if making keys not aligned is default and aligned is an optional.

Here I am. I didn’t change around stringify code, but I’m interested in your issue.

Cargo’s standard does not align them

Then, it might be better not to align. I’ll also take a look at other toml parsers.
