Intro

Prettier is an opinionated code formatter. It enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.

Input

foo(reallyLongArg(), omgSoManyParameters(), IShouldRefactorThis(), isThereSeriouslyAnotherOne());

Output

foo(
  reallyLongArg(),
  omgSoManyParameters(),
  IShouldRefactorThis(),
  isThereSeriouslyAnotherOne()
);

Prettier can be run in your editor on-save, in a pre-commit hook, or in CI environments to ensure your codebase has a consistent style without devs ever having to post a nit-picky comment on a code review ever again!

Other packages similar to prettier

eslint

ESLint is a tool for identifying and reporting on patterns found in ECMAScript/JavaScript code, with the ability to fix many issues automatically. While it can also format code, its primary focus is on code quality and adherence to coding standards, unlike Prettier which is solely focused on code formatting.

stylelint

Stylelint is a modern linter that helps you avoid errors and enforce conventions in your stylesheets. It is to CSS what ESLint is to JavaScript, and while it can fix code style issues, it is more focused on maintaining code quality rather than just formatting.

beautify

Beautify, available as 'js-beautify' for npm, is a code beautifier that can format HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It is less opinionated than Prettier and offers more configuration options, but it might not enforce as consistent a style as Prettier does.

standard

Standard is a JavaScript style guide, linter, and formatter that enforces a strict coding standard. Unlike Prettier, Standard also includes rules that aim to prevent bugs and improve code clarity.
