In practice
Written by AI from this repository’s README · medium confidenceTeams arguing over formatting in code review and leaving nit picky comments on every pull request.
Use it when
Use it when you want one enforced style across JS, TS, CSS, HTML, GraphQL, Markdown or YAML, applied on save or in CI.
Not the right pick when
Not a linter; it will not find problematic code patterns, so it does not replace a static analysis tool.

Intro
Prettier is an opinionated code formatter. It enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.
Input
<!-- prettier-ignore -->
foo(reallyLongArg(), omgSoManyParameters(), IShouldRefactorThis(), isThereSeriouslyAnotherOne());
Output
foo(
reallyLongArg(),
omgSoManyParameters(),
IShouldRefactorThis(),
isThereSeriouslyAnotherOne(),
);
Prettier can be run in your editor on-save, in a pre-commit hook, or in CI environments to ensure your codebase has a consistent style without devs ever having to post a nit-picky comment on a code review ever again!
