End Code Style Debates Forever
Prettier's philosophy is to be opinionated so your team does not have to be. By adopting a consistent formatting configuration, you eliminate subjective code style discussions during code reviews and let developers focus on logic and architecture. Our generator helps you set up these conventions quickly with a configuration that matches your team's preferences.
Consistent Formatting Across Every File
Without automated formatting, code style drifts over time — different developers use different quote styles, indentation, and line lengths. Prettier enforces consistency automatically, and our generator ensures the configuration covers all the file types in your project with appropriate rules for each, creating a unified codebase that reads like it was written by one person.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers for this tool before you move into a full branded assistant.
What formatting options can I customize?
Key options include print width (line length), tab width and tab versus spaces, single versus double quotes, semicolons, trailing commas (none, ES5, or all), bracket spacing, JSX quotes, arrow function parentheses, end-of-line characters, and prose wrapping for Markdown. Each option has sensible defaults that match popular community conventions.
Can I have different settings for different file types?
Yes, Prettier supports overrides that apply different formatting rules to specific file types. For example, you might want 4-space indentation for Python files but 2-space for JavaScript, or single quotes in JS but double quotes in JSON. The generator creates appropriate overrides based on the languages you select and your style preferences.
What files should be in .prettierignore?
The .prettierignore file should exclude build output directories like dist and build, dependency directories like node_modules, generated files like package-lock.json, compiled CSS from preprocessors, and any files that are auto-generated and should not be reformatted. Our generator creates a comprehensive ignore file that covers all common patterns.
How do I integrate Prettier with ESLint?
The generator includes setup instructions for eslint-config-prettier, which disables ESLint rules that conflict with Prettier formatting. This lets ESLint handle code quality rules while Prettier handles formatting — a clean separation of concerns. The output notes the exact npm packages to install and how to add the config to your ESLint setup.
Should I format on save or use a pre-commit hook?
Both. Format on save gives developers instant feedback while coding. Pre-commit hooks using lint-staged ensure no unformatted code enters the repository even if someone forgets to configure their editor. Our editor integration output includes VS Code settings for format-on-save and instructions for setting up a pre-commit hook with husky and lint-staged.
