plugin-ruby VS eslint-config-prettier

Prettier started out as an opinionated code formatter for JavaScript, but it now supports many other languages, including Ruby. Installing its Ruby plugin is straight forward: add the prettier gem to your Gemfile and then run bundle.

You'd need a prettier plugin for Lua, similar to the ones that exist for php (https://github.com/prettier/plugin-php) and ruby (https://github.com/prettier/plugin-ruby). I'm pretty sure that there isn't one for Lua, but you can try googling it.

Did you try prettier maybe?

To me "stardard" ruby style is style used in the std-lib.

Whilst I can see the benefit of having an AST format code for you, e.g. if can you use it to fix language version changes like positional arguments and keyword arguments in Ruby 3,.0 I worry about how good/bad RuboCop is at formatting.

Last time I tried it, it was indenting in a different way to the std-lib.

At the time I found that prettier-ruby[1] did a much better job. Hopefully that's improved since.

Rubocop has a very nice auto-correct feature to automatically fix many of the warnings it gives, but we've noticed in the past that with line length issues specifically the auto-corrected files can be misformatted. For that reason, we use the Ruby plugin for Prettier to correct line length.

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.

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:
