Prettier-install NPM

Pretteier Install

Prettier is an opinionated code formatter which formats your code for you.

This package installs and configures prettier for you.

The simplest way to run prettier-install is by using npx.

Change to your project directory and ensure that your working tree is clean. Then run:

npx prettier-install

Prettier will be downloaded and installed to your project devDependencies using npm or yarn if available.
prettier script will be added to scripts section of package.json and will run immediately.
You will be offered to commit the changes as a single atomic commit. Hint: In vim you can abort commit by typing :cq<Return>

Verify that glob patterns passed to prettier allow it to reach all files that need formatting. Default is **/*.js.
Review the code style applied by prettier. Review prettier documentation to see available configuration options.
If you are using ESLint then refer to the specific integration instructions.

You can change glob patterns and arguments passed to prettier by modifying the prettier entry in the scripts section of your package.json.

Run npm run prettier or yarn prettier when you want to reformat your code, or set up pre-commit hook.

prettier-install accepts all formatting options recognized by prettier:

Option	Default	Description
`--print-width <int>`	`80`	Maximum line length to wrap the line on
`--tab-width`	`2`	Indentation size as the number of spaces
`--use-tabs`	`false`	Use tabs instead of spaces for indentation
`--no-semi`	`false`	Omit semicolons
`--single-quote`	`false`	Use single quotes instead of double quotes
`--trailing-commas <none\\|es5\\|all>`	`none`	Add trailing commas everywhere (`all`), only for objects and arrays (`es5`) or never (`none`)
`--no-bracket-spacing`	`false`	Disable adding spaces between object brackets
`--jsx-bracket-same-line`	`false`	Disable carrying closing bracket in JSX tags over to a new line

Any additional arguments are treated as glob patterns to be passed to prettier. If no glob pattern is supplied default **/*.js will be used.
