prettier-plugin-sort-imports VS eslint-config-prettier

In a similar vein, you can sort imports with Prettier using Trivago’s plugin.

For most conventions regarding file structure, I would use tools like ESLint / Prettier instead of trying to enforce it with comments. For example this Prettier plugin allows you to enforce a specific import order without any extra effort.

Unsorted imports look ugly. Also, it could be hard to read and add new imports. So why not sort them automatically? We can do it with trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports.

Your suggestion to sort imports is valid, but depends on VSCode as an IDE. It would be better to use Prettier with this plugin that sorts imports for you.

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.

If you are using prettier, you can use https://github.com/trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports

In this GitHub repo, you can find a list of the other rules that are available.

For imports I like to use https://github.com/trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports so I don't have to think about it. Also, I think it's cleaner to have an index in your components folder that exports all of the named functions do you can import them into your files like:

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:
