Prettier

What it does: Prettier is an opinionated code formatter that parses code and prints it in a consistent style, taking line length into account.
Languages: Built-in language support includes JavaScript, JSX, Angular, Vue, Flow, TypeScript, CSS, Less, SCSS, HTML, JSON, GraphQL, Markdown, YAML, LWC, and MJML.
Formatting workflow: Prettier can format files with its CLI using --write or check formatting with --check in CI.
Editor integrations: The documentation lists integrations for VS Code, Emacs, Vim, Helix, Sublime Text, JetBrains IDEs, Visual Studio, and Espresso.
Editor behavior: Prettier can be run from an editor shortcut or automatically when saving a file.
Configuration: Prettier provides configuration options, but describes itself as opinionated and having few options.
Plugins: Plugins can add languages or formatting rules; languages beyond the built-in web-focused languages require installing a plugin.
Linters: For ESLint integration, the install guide recommends eslint-config-prettier to disable rules that are unnecessary or might conflict with Prettier.
Git hooks: The documentation describes using Husky and lint-staged to run Prettier before each commit.
Version consistency: The install guide recommends installing an exact local version in each project because even patch releases can format code differently.
Enterprise support: Commercial support and maintenance for Prettier are available as part of the Tidelift Subscription.
Security and licensing: The enterprise page says the Tidelift Subscription includes security updates, license verification, and intellectual property indemnification.
