💅 Prettier support

Sheriff tries to incorporate Prettier out-of-the-box.

Setup

The npm init sheriff-config command will spin up for you a default .prettierrc.json configuration. You can modify it if you need to, but it is discouraged. Act with caution.

If you don't use the npm init sheriff-config command, you will have to provide a prettier config yourself. Also don't forget the .prettierignore file.

If you already have a Prettier config in your project, you are good to go. The npm init sheriff-config command won't create a new Prettier config, nor will attempt to modify the existing one.

Usage

By design, Sheriff doesn't incorporate:

• eslint-plugin-prettier. Its use is discouraged by the Prettier team itself, as it just slows down your editor. It's better to just let ESLint and Prettier run side-by-side.
• eslint-config-prettier. Starting from ESLint v8.53.0, ESLint stopped shipping formatting rules, and shortly after @typesript/eslint followed suit. This change made eslint-config-prettier completely irrelevant and now the only formatting rules left in Sheriff are @stylistic/padding-line-between-statements and curly, which don't conflict with Prettier.

Instead, for your local editing experience, it's recommended to install the Prettier editor extension.
If you want to enforce Prettier at pre-commit stage, see the official Prettier docs.
To enforce Prettier in CI, see the Prettier CLI docs.
