vim-table-mode VS prettier

While not built around CSV, two terminal spreadsheet tools I have successfully used in the past are sc-im and the (neo)vim plugin vim-table-mode:

https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode

Back then I stopped using sc-im because it could not import/export XLSX, if I remember correctly. Apparently it can today!

vim-table-mode always felt a little fragile and I don't want to be bound to vim anymore. That said, it still feels like a small miracle to me to have functional spreadsheet formulas inside markdown documents – calculation and typesetting all in one place.

Use the grid_table extension of markdown, which many renderer such as pandoc support. You can also use Vim Table Mode in conjunction. I regularly use it to keep my tables human readable.

vin table mode. Creating tables in markdown file.

This plugin works pretty well too: https://github.com/dhruvasagar/vim-table-mode

I use vim-table-mode, very good plugin.

On its own it does very little -- not much else besides making the links work. I use the author's wiki-ft.vim alongside vim-table-mode to accomplish more or less what Vimwiki used to. Wiki.vim is far more supportive of other filetype plugins than vimwiki is.

I do this in markdown with vim-table-mode.

In this post, I also use ESLint + Standard JS as my code formatting tools. Formatting JS/TS code by using ESLint is also subjective and opinionated, arguably most people would rather use Prettier instead, which provides more configurable options.

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.

From my point of view, Prettier doesn't work well for styling with utility classes. For a discussion see Prettier#7863 or Prettier#5948.

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.

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.
