How to set up Clang format for Allman style for iOS encoding?

Question

I have a lot of confusion regarding the Clang Formats API.

• I cannot open the .clangformat file so that I can examine it and configure it according to me.
• I need to format my code in Allman style.
• I saw a lot of google documentation and stack overflows, but I didn't get any help to achieve Allman style formatting.

I stumbled upon http://clangformat.com/ , but also did not get any help to achieve Allman style.

Here is the problem and the solution I want.

ISSUE No. 1:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(captureSearchFiltersNotificationWithSelection:) name:kSearchFiltersNotificationWithSelection object:nil];

 - (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil { self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil]; if (self) { // listings = [NSMutableArray new]; self.navTitle = @"Buy"; searchFilters = [SearchFilter new]; if ([LocationManager locationManager].location == nil) { selectedSortOption = kSortBuyRefineOptionUndefined; } else { selectedSortOption = kSortBuyRefineOptionNearMeAsc; } } return self; }

You need to add the .clang file to the project root directory. As required, you can edit this file in TextEditor. The following is the Allman style format:

 BasedOnStyle: None AlignTrailingComments: true BreakBeforeBraces: Allman ColumnLimit: 0 IndentWidth: 4 KeepEmptyLinesAtTheStartOfBlocks: false ObjCSpaceAfterProperty: true ObjCSpaceBeforeProtocolList: true PointerBindsToType: false SpacesBeforeTrailingComments: 1 TabWidth: 8 UseTab: Never
