For React/JSX - Prettier has an option to allow tags to close on the same line as the declaration, rather then on a new line: jsxBracketSameLine: true:

<button
  className="prettier-class"
  id="prettier-id"
  onClick={this.handleClick}>
  Click Here
</button>

jsxBracketSameLine: false:

<button
  className="prettier-class"
  id="prettier-id"
  onClick={this.handleClick}
>
  Click Here
</button>

With Prettier 1.15.1, at least for the Angular parser, there is no corresponding option, so all HTML is formatted like this: Input:

<my-component class="wcd-flex-1 dialog-contents wcd-scroll-vertical"
		      [foo]="bar">
</my-component>

Output:

<my-component
    class="wcd-flex-1 dialog-contents wcd-scroll-vertical"
	[foo]="bar"
>
</my-component>

Playground link

It would be nice to have a flag to set it such that the output of the above would be:

<my-component
    class="wcd-flex-1 dialog-contents wcd-scroll-vertical"
	[foo]="bar">
</my-component>

When I have a Vue.js file:

<script>
    export default {
        mounted() {
            console.log('Component mounted!')
        }
    }
</script>

How do I stop prettier changing the indentation to:

<script>
export default {
    mounted() {
        console.log("Component mounted!");
    }
};
</script>

This issue is only about outputting these spaces:

function identity (value) {
  //             ^ space here
  return value;
}

function identity <T>(value: T): T {
  //             ^ space here
  return value;
}

class A {
  method () {
    //  ^ space here
  }
}

const obj = {
  method () {
    //  ^ space here
  }
}

(Prettier currently does not put spaces in those positions.)

🗒 NOTE: This issue is not about anonymous functions:

const identity = function (value) {
  //                     ^ space here: SEE #3847!
  return value;
}

Anonymous functions are tracked in #3847!

The key arguments is: Searchability: You can find any function or method declaration my searching for e.g. method ( or identity <, or even just name[space] (mostly).

It also provides a clear and immediate difference between declaration and invocation.

(There are many existing comments in favour of this style, notably: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/1139#issuecomment-316096507 and the majority of the discussion from https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/1139#issuecomment-361515396 onwards.)

Note added by @j-f1:

This is NOT the current plan for Prettier v2.0. We’ve significantly scaled back our plans for what Prettier 2.0 will do, allowing us to get a less-controversial release out sooner: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/6888

I've been thinking a bit about what we would do if (don't create a milestone just yet :wink:) we were to do a Prettier 2.0 release with some API/CLI breaking changes. No significant changes to code formatting other than perhaps changing some defaults.

Easy?

• #68/#3469 - Change default value for trailingComma to "es5". The diff advantages alone are excellent, and this seems to be commonplace among the most popular JS projects.

CLI:

• #2691 - CLI defaults to "**/*.{js,ts,...}". People should just be able to do prettier --write without passing messy globs #0CJS

• #2846 - Replace the "parser" option with "language". e.g. echo ".foo {}" | prettier --language css Keep --parser flow or perhaps support something like --parser.js flow for future extensibility.

• Remove --flow-parser option. Has been deprecated for a long time.

For debate

• #838 - Consistently add quotes to object keys. e.g. put quotes around origin in this example:

  const headers = {
    'origin': 'foo.com',
    'access-control-allow-origin': '*',
  };
  

• Change the default value for singleQuote to true

  • Airbnb, standard, xo, and probably the majority of JS devs prefer this. Maybe do a Twitter poll to gauge opinions on this.

To be clear, the Airbnb config requires single quotes for JS and double quotes for JSX.

Outdated

• #2884 - Remove the default parser. Fixed by #4528

• ~#1139 - Put a space after the n in function () {}~

Description

This PR is for fixing #6385 in the coming version 3.0, and introduces the change in my hotfix plugin to the original Prettier. Remove the option from and optimize #8526

Note: this is for the next branch, not the main branch.

If I do not have to add anything in changelog_unreleased/markdown/, I will change this to the normal (not draft) PR.

Fixes #6385

I just did yarn jest --updateSnapshot.

P.S. (2022-12-11) This patch is enabled in Prettier 3.0.0-alpha.3 or later.

I know the goal of prettier is to standardize on a style, but it is also difficult since this did not come out at the same time as the language.

Our team uses the exact same style as prettier except placement for else statements. It is effectively blocking us from adopting this awesome library.

We prefer break before else to allow for cleaner comments.

// This does something
if (a) {
}
// This does something else if
else if {

}
// This does something else
else {

}

Which is nicer than.

// This does something
if (a) {

// This does something else if
} else if {

// This does something else
} else {

}

However this is preference and would be awesome if this was added as an option to prettier.

Right now I'm finding that Prettier collapses JSX attributes onto a single line, up until the column width. This (in my opinion) feels much harder to read as it requires the eyes to constantly scan left to right rather than "glance" at a single block.

Would you be open to an option that disables this forced single-line output?

Prettier 1.7.4 Playground link

Input:

const f = () => (
  <Foo
    hello={baz}
    how={are}
    you={a}
    hi={c}
  />
)

Output:

const f = () => <Foo hello={baz} how={are} you={a} hi={c} />;

Expected behavior: Retain line breaks.

Update:

I opened this a long while back but after two years of using Prettier I absolutely, without question, and without hestitation, support the settings currently in Prettier and further -- believe that all of these personal preferences simply vanish from sight after using Prettier for more than a few days, as if one never even had them. They vanish into the delight of not having to worry about preferences anymore, and all of the energy / time savings that come from that. I am a 👎 on adding additional configuration in this regard.

NOTE: This issue is raised due to confusion in #1139.

This issue is only about anonymous functions:

const identity = function (value) {
  //                     ^ space here
  return value;
}

(Prettier currently does not put a space there.)

🗒 NOTE: This issue is not about having a space after the function name:

function identity (value) {
  //             ^ space here: SEE #3845!
  return value;
}

Space after function name is tracked in #3845!

The key argument is: Consistency: This means that there's always a space after the function keyword.

Prettier 1.14.0 Playground link

--parser typescript

Input:

@Component({
  selector: 'toh-hero-button',
  template: `<button>{{label}}</button>`
})
export class HeroButtonComponent {
  @Output() change = new EventEmitter<any>();
  @Input() label: string;
}

Output:

@Component({
  selector: "toh-hero-button",
  template: `<button>{{label}}</button>`
})
export class HeroButtonComponent {
  @Output()
  change = new EventEmitter<any>();
  @Input()
  label: string;
}

Expected behavior: Decorators are kept on the same line.

More details: When using Angular, it's recommended to follow their style guide, which specifies:

Placing the decorator on the same line usually makes for shorter code and still easily identifies the property as an input or output. Put it on the line above when doing so is clearly more readable.

Angular classes are a valid (and common) use-case for Prettier, but with Prettier 1.14 (relevant PR) it deviates from the Angular style guide, causing unwanted changed for most people using Angular. Note that the above code example (input) is taken directly from the Angular style guide.

The original PR to change this behavior mentions that mobx is the only library using same-line decorators, which is clearly not the case, with Angular being a (big) second one.

To avoid reverting the new behavior completely, which is probably still wanted by some people - I suggest adding an option to the config to keep the old behavior, or prefer the new one (default should be discussed further).

Similar to what was done for #3847 I think it best to break some of the discussion from #3101 into a new issue that people can 👍 or 👎.

I'm proposing that for HTML and JSX to have Prettier always have one attribute/prop per line (and thus not respect the developer's original preference). Code would then be formatted as shown below. This is in contrast to the current behaviour where we fit as much as possible with the print-width.

Expected behavior:

<MyComponent lorem="1"/>

<MyComponent
  lorem="1"
  ipsum="2"
/>

<MyComponent
  lorem="1"
  ipsum="2"
  dolor="3"
/>

This suggestion for one attribute/prop per line was proposed several times in the discussion of #3101 but I think it is clearer if this is pulled into it's own proposal. The original proposal in #3101 is that Prettier would add an option to preserve original formatting which, while I agree with the author with the style that they want, I don't think a) an option, nor b) preserving original formatting follows the aims for Prettier (see also #2068). Instead I think the aims of #3101 are better served by this proposal to ignore the print-width and always place attributes/props on new lines (assuming that there is more than one).

This style appears to be the most common formatting for Angular, Vue and React from what I can tell. It style appears to be the style enforced by the rules:

• React: jsx-max-props-per-line which Airbnb set to to 1 in their style guide
• Vue: max-attributes-per-line which has a default to 1.
