What are prettier-plugin-svelte's main functionalities?

Format Svelte Files

This feature allows you to format Svelte files using Prettier. By including the plugin in your Prettier configuration, you can ensure that your Svelte code is consistently styled.

/* .prettierrc */
{
  "plugins": ["prettier-plugin-svelte"]
}

/* Example Svelte file before formatting */
<script>
  let count = 0;
  function increment() {
    count += 1;
  }
</script>

<style>
  h1 {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

<h1 on:click={increment}>Count: {count}</h1>

/* Example Svelte file after formatting */
<script>
  let count = 0;
  function increment() {
    count += 1;
  }
</script>

<style>
  h1 {
    color: red;
  }
</style>

<h1 on:click={increment}>Count: {count}</h1>

Integration with Prettier CLI

You can use the Prettier CLI to format all Svelte files in your project. This command will recursively find and format all .svelte files in the src directory.

/* Command to format Svelte files using Prettier CLI */
npx prettier --write "src/**/*.svelte"

Support for Svelte-specific Syntax

The plugin supports Svelte-specific syntax such as reactive statements, bindings, and event handlers, ensuring that these are also formatted correctly.

/* Example Svelte file with Svelte-specific syntax */
<script>
  export let name = 'world';
</script>

<style>
  p {
    font-size: 1.5em;
  }
</style>

<p>Hello {name}!</p>
