Prettier

Prettier is an opinionated code formatter that automatically formats code to ensure consistent style across a codebase. It supports multiple programming languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, and HTML, and integrates with editors and build tools to enforce formatting rules without manual intervention.

Also known as: prettierjs, prettier-js, code formatter, auto-formatter, prettier tool

Developers should use Prettier to eliminate debates over code style, save time on manual formatting, and maintain a clean, readable codebase, especially in team environments. It's ideal for projects where consistency is critical, such as large-scale applications or open-source collaborations, and it pairs well with linters like ESLint for comprehensive code quality.
