prettier-eslint-cli

CLI for prettier-eslint

The problem

You have a bunch of files that you want to format using prettier-eslint. But prettier-eslint can only operate on strings.

This solution

This is a CLI that allows you to use prettier-eslint on one or multiple files. prettier-eslint-cli forwards on the filePath and other relevant options to prettier-eslint which identifies the applicable ESLint config for each file and uses that to determine the options for prettier and eslint --fix.

Installation

This module is distributed via npm which is bundled with node and should be installed (with yarn) as one of your project's devDependencies:

yarn add --dev prettier-eslint-cli

If you're still using the npm client: npm install --save-dev prettier-eslint-cli

Usage

Typically you'll use this in your npm scripts (or package scripts):

{
  "scripts": {
    "format": "prettier-eslint \"src/**/*.js\""
  }
}

This will format all .js files in the src directory. The argument you pass to the CLI is a glob and you can pass as many as you wish. You can also pass options.

Vim

Vim users can add the following to their .vimrc:

autocmd FileType javascript set formatprg=prettier-eslint\ --stdin

This makes prettier-eslint-cli power the gq command for automatic formatting without any plugins. You can also add the following to your .vimrc to run prettier-eslint-cli when .js files are saved:

autocmd BufWritePre *.js :normal gggqG

CLI Options

prettier-eslint --help
Usage: prettier-eslint <globs>... [--option-1 option-1-value --option-2]

Prefix an option with "no-" to set it to false, such as --no-semi to
disable semicolons and --no-eslint-ignore to disable default ignores.

  --single-quote           Use single quotes instead of double quotes. [boolean]

Any number of globs you wish to use to match the files you wish to format. By default, glob will ignore **/node_modules/** unless the glob you provide includes the string node_modules.

--write

By default prettier-eslint will simply log the formatted version to the terminal. If you want to overwrite the file itself (a common use-case) then add --write. You should quote your globs, otherwise your terminal will expand the glob before it gets to prettier-eslint (which can have unexpected results):

{
  "scripts": {
    "format": "prettier-eslint --write \"src/**/*.js\""
  }
}

NOTE: It is recommended that you keep your files under source control and committed before running prettier-eslint --write as it will overwrite your files!

--list-different

Instead of printing the formatted version of the files to the terminal, prettier-eslint will log the name of the files that are different from the expected formatting. This can be usefull when using prettier-eslint in a version control system hook to inform the committer which files need to be formatted.

--stdin

Accept input via stdin. For example:

echo "var   foo =    'bar'" | prettier-eslint --stdin
# results in: "var foo = 'bar';" (depending on your eslint config)

--eslint-path

Forwarded as the eslintPath option to prettier-eslint

--eslint-config-path

Resolve eslint config file, parse and forward config object as the eslintConfig option to prettier-eslint

--prettier-path

Forwarded as the prettierPath option to prettier-eslint

--log-level

Forwarded as logLevel option to prettier-eslint

--no-eslint-ignore

Disables application of .eslintignore to the files resolved from the glob. By default, prettier-eslint-cli will exclude files if they are matched by a .eslintignore. Add this flag to disable this behavior.

Note: You can also set the LOG_LEVEL environment variable to control logging in prettier-eslint

--prettier-last

By default, prettier-eslint-cli will run prettier first, then eslint --fix. This is great if you want to use prettier, but override some of the styles you don't like using eslint --fix.

An alternative approach is to use different tools for different concerns. If you provide the argument --prettier-last, it will run eslint --fix first, then prettier. This allows you to use eslint to look for bugs and/or bad practices, and use prettier to enforce code style.

prettier options

prettier-eslint-cli also supports the same command line options as prettier.

For example: prettier-eslint --trailing-comma es5

Refer to the prettier-eslint docs for documentation on these options
