prettier VS pretty-quick

prettier is used to format you text

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.

Prettier: An opinionated code formatter that enforces a consistent code style.

What is Prettier 😎?

In this Thread, I won't show you little extensions that you probably already know, like Live Server or Prettier.

Another example: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/187

That issue has been open for 7 years.

Exactly. This is implemented by the Javascript code formatter Prettier [1] where you have to pass `--write` in order to overwrite an unformatted file.

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
