pretty-quick VS eslint-plugin-prettier

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

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.

You can also add ESLint now (props to @femincan for the suggestion). It comes with recommended settings for these plugins: typescript, prettier, react, react-hooks, jsx-a11y.

I recommend installing and configuring the eslint-plugin-prettier package in your project: https://github.com/prettier/eslint-plugin-prettier

eslint-plugin-prettier

Another approach that you can also take is a sort of "prettier as an ESLint plugin" option, such with eslint-plugin-prettier. The idea is that the developer only needs to run one tool (ESLint), but you add a plugin to ESLint that just calls prettier and converts the prettier error messages to ESLint error messages. I've worked at companies that have used this approach, and it makes setting up your editor/IDE very simple, because you've only got one tool to configure. That said, I personally don't like it because it forces you to use ESLint's "auto fix" functionality, which I find works well for formatting, but IME less well for some of the other lints.

A comprehensive set of formatting (through eslint-plugin-prettier) and linting rules, generated with Clinter. Once again, each package can easily extend the root configuration.

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:

We run prettier through eslint, and run eslint through jest which provides parallelism. eslint also has a cache... So I'm not sure what dprint gets you over that?

I personally use eslint-plugin-prettier so Prettier formatting issues are shown in my editor and are reported when linting using ESLint.

When installing the Prettier and ESLint extensions for VSCode, formatting and linting will also work within VSCode for any files in the monorepo. Only tweak required to make this work is to configure the Prettier plugin for ESLint (see example .eslintrc.json). Otherwise Prettier and ESLint will get in each other’s way and make for a poor editing experience. To make this work, the following two settings will also need to be configured in a .vscode/settings.json configuration (see settings.json):
