prettier-plugin-tailwindcss VS prettier

Since this was a problem that many people had already encountered, there was already a solution. The first thing I found was Tailwind's official Prettier plugin, which ensures that class names are always ordered according to a certain rule. Best of all, it's auto-correcting, so I don't accidentally miss something or commit a different order.

It's not as if the correct order for the rules is mysterious. It's implemented in the Tailwind compiler. Tools like prettier-plugin-tailwindcss, which automatically sorts the class names in your HTML code to match the order in which Tailwind generates them in your CSS output, use a public API in Tailwind to get this order.

Other than that, you can get Prettier sorting your classes with the Tailwind Prettier plugin. And one more quality-of-life extension that might help your eye sores from a long list of classes is Tailwind Fold.

I everyone. I am using Electron react boilerplate and I have successfully added tailwindcss to the project. However, I am struggling to get the Prettier plugin tailwindcss to work. I’ve tried following the instructions in the readme but no luck. I’ve tried moving my prettier.config.js to the .erc/config dir with no luck either.

Others have already replied, but if you need to structure your TailwindCSS classes, I recommend their official Prettier plugin which integrates well into an ESLint setup.

This is true at first. I can see it being pretty daunting to come into an existing project and trying to understand the styling of components. Starting from scratch and easing it into an existing project is much easier imo. That's what I did for a personal website. Now that I understand it and have converted the entire website to Tailwind, I don't want to switch to anything else going forward.

Here's a Prettier plugin that sort the classes to keep everything consistent across components: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/prettier-plugin-tailwindcss

Tailwind combined with classnames (https://github.com/JedWatson/classnames) makes it really easy to have conditional styling based on component state.

Despite the existence of Prettier, arguments about code style such as how to sort ES module imports still exist. Manually sorting ES modules wastes time, and usually leads to losing context when you are writing code and then have to navigate to the top of a file to modify your import statements. I love using the @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports plugin which automatically sorts new imports, and works perfectly together with TypeScript's auto-import feature. Similarly, prettier-plugin-tailwindcss automatically sorts Tailwind classes in your code.

In this post, I also use ESLint + Standard JS as my code formatting tools. Formatting JS/TS code by using ESLint is also subjective and opinionated, arguably most people would rather use Prettier instead, which provides more configurable options.

Let's be honest - setting up tools for a new project can be a frustrating process. Especially when you want to jump straight to coding part. This is often the case with ESLint and Prettier, two popular tools in the JavaScript ecosystem that can sometimes interfere with each other when it comes to code formatting. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to this process, and it's called eslint-plugin-prettier.

From my point of view, Prettier doesn't work well for styling with utility classes. For a discussion see Prettier#7863 or Prettier#5948.

Prettier: An opinionated code formatter that enforces a consistent code style.

Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

So anyways, I wanted to hook up Emacs with Astro support. For now, I've just been roughing it out there and running Prettier by itself and turning off save on format and auto-complete. It's been scary.

If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.

No formatting inconsistencies: The committed code should follow the organization's code formatting standards(prettier or pretty-quick).

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.
