prettier VS babel-sublime

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.

Some of the most popular JavaScript linting tools are ESLint, JSHint, JSLint and JSCS. We're going to be using ESLint. It’s very flexible, easy to use and has the best ES6 support, which will be helpful if we introduce more modern JavaScript (that will be transpiled for older browsers using https://babeljs.io/). All rules for ESLint can be found here: https://eslint.org/docs/rules/.

This simply extends the existing build process that many front-end frameworks have. After Babel's done with its transpilation, it merely executes code to compile your initial screen into static HTML and CSS. This isn't entirely dissimilar from how SSR hydrates your initial screen, but it's done at compile-time, not at request time.

First, we switched the default compiler for new projects from Babel to SWC (Speedy Web Compiler). SWC is dramatically faster than Babel and requires zero configuration. We’ll continue to support Babel in any project currently using it.

Nuxt.js is an open-source JavaScript framework built on Vue.js, Node.js, Vite, and Babel.js used for creating fast, cutting-edge applications. Nuxt.js possesses similar features to Next.js, with the major difference being the web framework it is compatible with. Next.js is a React framework whereas Nuxt.js is a Vue framework.

Disclaimer: If you've already developed Babel or ESLint plugins, this article may not be as beneficial for you, as you're likely already familiar with the majority of the content covered here.

Preprocessors: SSGs leverage preprocessors to streamline the development process. Preprocessors like SASS for CSS or Babel for JavaScript offer additional features and simplify code development.

To transpile our code, we will use Babel - a JavaScript compiler, that will generate files Node.js is happy with, and Webpack - a JavaScript bundler, that will bundle our code and automate the compilation step.

Can be used with promises, Node-style callbacks, ES6 generators and async/await (using Babel).

Growth in Tooling: Tools like Babel allowed developers to use the latest JavaScript features without waiting for Node.js support, while Webpack streamlined bundling and module loading.
