eslint-plugin-prettier VS eslint-config-prettier

You can also add ESLint now (props to @femincan for the suggestion). It comes with recommended settings for these plugins: typescript, prettier, react, react-hooks, jsx-a11y.

I recommend installing and configuring the eslint-plugin-prettier package in your project: https://github.com/prettier/eslint-plugin-prettier

eslint-plugin-prettier

Another approach that you can also take is a sort of "prettier as an ESLint plugin" option, such with eslint-plugin-prettier. The idea is that the developer only needs to run one tool (ESLint), but you add a plugin to ESLint that just calls prettier and converts the prettier error messages to ESLint error messages. I've worked at companies that have used this approach, and it makes setting up your editor/IDE very simple, because you've only got one tool to configure. That said, I personally don't like it because it forces you to use ESLint's "auto fix" functionality, which I find works well for formatting, but IME less well for some of the other lints.

A comprehensive set of formatting (through eslint-plugin-prettier) and linting rules, generated with Clinter. Once again, each package can easily extend the root configuration.

The eslint-config-prettier package disables all ESLint rules that might conflict with Prettier. This lets us use ESLint configurations without letting it get in the way when using Prettier. We can then use the eslint-plugin-prettier package to integrate Prettier rules into ESLint rules. Finally, we must set the Prettier rules in the ESLint configuration file. Add the following configuration to the .eslintrc file in the root directory of the application:

We run prettier through eslint, and run eslint through jest which provides parallelism. eslint also has a cache... So I'm not sure what dprint gets you over that?

I personally use eslint-plugin-prettier so Prettier formatting issues are shown in my editor and are reported when linting using ESLint.

When installing the Prettier and ESLint extensions for VSCode, formatting and linting will also work within VSCode for any files in the monorepo. Only tweak required to make this work is to configure the Prettier plugin for ESLint (see example .eslintrc.json). Otherwise Prettier and ESLint will get in each other’s way and make for a poor editing experience. To make this work, the following two settings will also need to be configured in a .vscode/settings.json configuration (see settings.json):

NOTICE: The template does not use eslint-plugin-prettier and prettier-eslint. So I recommend that running commands individually. e.g. prettier && eslint.

As I was reading the Prettier documentation I stumbled upon this blob which talks about how to make ESLint and Prettier play nicely with each other. It instructed to install eslint-config-prettier dependency in my project using the command npm install --save-dev eslint-config-prettier. Then I added prettier as part of the .eslintrc.cjs' extends array making prettier dependency part of the linting process. Lastly, I ran its cmd line helper npx eslint-config-prettier path/to/main.js to check if there were any ESLint rules which are unnecessary or would conflict with Prettier. The test results came out fine with no unnecessary or conflicting rules. The use case on how it works and why to use it is mentioned here.

I wouldn’t say they’re arguing something completely different. A large subset of linting rules are by nature purely formatting rules. You can enforce line length with either prettier or a linter and both can auto fix the issue.

Because of this things like [`eslint-config-prettier`](https://github.com/prettier/eslint-config-prettier) exist to ensure conflicting eslint formatting rules are disabled if they can be handled by prettier.

If you use Prettier you should disable any and all eslint formatting rules. It's just not worth the hassle trying to make them "compatible". Fortunately there's an easy way to do that with a plugin.

Also add this eslint plugin, which makes eslint play nice with prettier: https://github.com/prettier/eslint-config-prettier

If you don’t care about the diagnostics, you should be using this instead. Prettier even says so.

Linting is an important step in maintaining code quality, The React Library Builder uses ESLint and eslint-config-prettier for linting. You can modify linting rules by overriding them in the .eslintrc file.

eslint-config-prettier: An ESLint configuration which disables the formatting rules in ESLint that Prettier is going to be responsible for handling, hence avoiding any clashes.

You can use both Eslint and Prettier if you care greatly about both linting and code formatting. Prettier had a plugin to disable Eslint's formatting rules.
