@types/prettier

What is @types/prettier?

@types/prettier provides TypeScript type definitions for the Prettier code formatter, allowing developers to use Prettier with TypeScript and get type checking and IntelliSense support.

What are @types/prettier's main functionalities?

Formatting Code

This feature allows you to format code using Prettier with specified options. The code sample demonstrates how to format a simple JavaScript snippet by removing semicolons.

const prettier = require('prettier');
const code = "const x = 1;";
const options = { semi: false, parser: "babel" };
const formatted = prettier.format(code, options);
console.log(formatted);

Checking Code

This feature allows you to check if a given piece of code is already formatted according to the specified Prettier options. The code sample checks if the JavaScript snippet is formatted without semicolons.

const prettier = require('prettier');
const code = "const x = 1;";
const options = { semi: false, parser: "babel" };
const isFormatted = prettier.check(code, options);
console.log(isFormatted);

Resolving Configuration

This feature allows you to resolve Prettier configuration for a specific file. The code sample demonstrates how to resolve and log the Prettier configuration for a given file path.

const prettier = require('prettier');
prettier.resolveConfig('./path/to/file.js').then(options => {
  console.log(options);
});

Other packages similar to @types/prettier

eslint

ESLint is a tool for identifying and fixing problems in JavaScript code. Unlike Prettier, which focuses on code formatting, ESLint is more about enforcing coding standards and finding potential errors. However, ESLint can be configured to work with Prettier for a comprehensive linting and formatting solution.

stylelint

Stylelint is a linter for CSS and other stylesheets. It helps enforce consistent conventions and avoid errors in stylesheets. While Prettier can format CSS, Stylelint provides more extensive linting capabilities specifically for stylesheets.

tslint

TSLint is a linter for TypeScript code. It helps enforce coding standards and find potential errors in TypeScript projects. TSLint can be used alongside Prettier to ensure both code quality and consistent formatting in TypeScript projects.

prettier provides its own type definitions, so you don't need @types/prettier installed!
