plugin-ruby VS 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.

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.
