prettier-java VS pretty-quick

I ended up, from a friend suggestion, looking into a java prettier plugin. Prettier allowed for an easy integration with most Web IDE, can be configured to format on save for vscode and is trivial to run in CI.

Prettier does not natively support Java, they have a community plugin for Java https://github.com/jhipster/prettier-java (link is from prettier.io) are you using this? I don't use prettier with Java though, Im not sure it works with the VS Code extension out of the box. prettier by itself is a separate thing from the VS Code extension

I didn’t realize prettier was used for other languages. I’ve been kinda frustrated with our java formatter at work, so I took a look at the prettier java formatter: https://github.com/jhipster/prettier-java

Prettier has support for Java. https://github.com/jhipster/prettier-java

Did you know Prettier for Java is a JHipster project?

recently my team started facing this issue about pretty-quick not compatible with [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). (https://github.com/azz/pretty-quick/issues/164)

If you'd like, you can go a bit further and automate the linting and formatting process a bit. I like to use Husky which allows you to run your linter, tests etc. on a git commit/push etc. You can also then use pretty-quick along with husky to automatically format your code whenever you git commit, just in case someone on your team hasn't set it up in their IDE.

By using husky and pretty-quick, you can automatically force every developer to format all the changed files (and nothing more) every time they commit.

Set up commit hooks with pretty-quick and husky. First, install them as dev dependencies:

In this tutorial, we will also use commitlint and pretty-quick libs to check if your commit messages meet the conventional commit format and run prettier on changed files respectively.

So basically husky is "Git hooks made easy" and we are going to use to automatically format all of our code that is staged for our commits, so we are going to use the "pre-commit" hook to run pretty-quick a simpler way to run our prettier scripts with configuration
