-
Local Configuration:
-
Create a
.prettierrc
file in the root directory of your project. -
Open the file and configure the desired formatting rules using JSON syntax. For example:
{ "semi": true, "singleQuote": true, "tabWidth": 2 }
- Save the file.
-
-
Global Configuration:
- Install the Prettier package globally by running the following command in your terminal:
npm install --global prettier
-
Once installed, create a global configuration file called
.prettierrc
in your home directory. -
Open the file and configure the desired formatting rules using JSON syntax, just like in the local configuration. For example:
{ "semi": true, "singleQuote": true, "tabWidth": 2 }
- Save the file.
-
Usage:
- To format a file using the local configuration, run the following command in your terminal:
npx prettier --write path/to/file.js
-
This will format the
file.js
according to the rules specified in the local.prettierrc
file. -
To format a file using the global configuration, run the following command in your terminal:
prettier --write path/to/file.js
- This will format the
file.js
according to the rules specified in the global.prettierrc
file.
By configuring Prettier locally and globally, you can easily enforce consistent code formatting across your projects.
