About Prettier

Prettier reformats source code to a consistent style with few configuration options, so style no longer needs discussing in code review. It is usually set up to format files on save.

It supports JavaScript, JSX, TypeScript, JSON, CSS, SCSS, Less, HTML, Vue, Angular, YAML, Markdown and GraphQL, with community plugins for languages such as Java, PHP, Ruby, Rust and XML. Integrations exist for VS Code, Vim, Emacs, Sublime Text and others, and it can be tried online.

Strengths

  • Consistent formatting with very little configuration
  • Wide language support with community plugins
  • Integrations for most editors
  • Online playground to try it

Limitations

  • Few options, so it may not match an existing house style
  • Some languages depend on community plugins
