Prettier is an opinionated code formatter that parses code and re-prints it with consistent style rules, supporting JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, Vue, Angular, GraphQL, Markdown, YAML, and more via plugins. It can run in editors on-save, in pre-commit hooks, or in CI to enforce a uniform codebase style.

Use cases

• format javascript and typescript code consistently
• enforce code style across a team without manual review comments
• format css, html, vue and angular templates
• run formatting in ci to check style compliance
• format markdown, yaml and json files
• add a pre-commit hook to auto-format staged files
• integrate formatting into vscode on save

When to choose

• you want zero-config, opinionated formatting across many languages
• your team argues about code style and wants to end the debate
• you need consistent formatting in editors, git hooks, and CI
• you work with mixed web codebases (js, ts, css, html, markdown)

When to avoid

• you need highly customizable style rules rather than opinionated defaults
• you want a linter that catches bugs, not just formatting
• you only need formatting for a language without a prettier plugin
