Vim users can install either [vim-prettier](https://github.com/prettier/vim-prettier), which is Prettier specific, or [Neoformat](https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat) or [ALE](https://github.com/w0rp/ale) which are generalized lint/format engines with support for Prettier.
|
|
|
|
## [vim-prettier](https://github.com/prettier/vim-prettier)
|
|
|
|
See the [vim-prettier](https://github.com/prettier/vim-prettier) readme for installation and usage instructions.
|
|
|
|
## [Neoformat](https://github.com/sbdchd/neoformat)
|
|
|
|
The best way to install Neoformat is with your favorite plugin manager for Vim, such as [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Plug 'sbdchd/neoformat'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `:Neoformat` or `:Neoformat prettier` in a supported file to run Prettier.
|
|
|
|
To have Neoformat run Prettier on save:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
autocmd BufWritePre *.js Neoformat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also make Vim format your code more frequently, by setting an `autocmd` for other events. Here are a couple of useful ones:
|
|
|
|
- `TextChanged`: after a change was made to the text in Normal mode
|
|
- `InsertLeave`: when leaving Insert mode
|
|
|
|
For example, you can format on both of the above events together with `BufWritePre` like this:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
autocmd BufWritePre,TextChanged,InsertLeave *.js Neoformat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `:help autocmd-events` in Vim for details.
|
|
|
|
It's recommended to use a [config file](configuration.md), but you can also add options in your `.vimrc`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
autocmd FileType javascript setlocal formatprg=prettier\ --stdin\ --single-quote\ --trailing-comma\ es5
|
|
" Use formatprg when available
|
|
let g:neoformat_try_formatprg = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Each space in prettier options should be escaped with `\`.
|
|
|
|
## [ALE](https://github.com/w0rp/ale)
|
|
|
|
ALE requires either Vim 8 or Neovim as ALE makes use of the asynchronous abilities that both Vim 8 and Neovim provide.
|
|
|
|
The best way to install ALE is with your favorite plugin manager for Vim, such as [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Plug 'w0rp/ale'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can find further instructions on the [ALE repository](https://github.com/w0rp/ale#3-installation).
|
|
|
|
ALE will try to use Prettier installed locally before looking for a global installation.
|
|
|
|
Enable the Prettier fixer for the languages you use:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
let g:ale_fixers = {
|
|
\ 'javascript': ['prettier'],
|
|
\ 'css': ['prettier'],
|
|
\}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
ALE supports both _linters_ and _fixers_. If you don't specify which _linters_ to run, **all available tools for all supported languages will be run**, and you might get a correctly formatted file with a bunch of lint errors. To disable this behavior you can tell ALE to run only linters you've explicitly configured (more info in the [FAQ](https://github.com/w0rp/ale/blob/ed8104b6ab10f63c78e49b60d2468ae2656250e9/README.md#faq-disable-linters)):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
let g:ale_linters_explicit = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then run `:ALEFix` in a JavaScript or CSS file to run Prettier.
|
|
|
|
To have ALE run Prettier on save:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
let g:ale_fix_on_save = 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It's recommended to use a [config file](configuration.md), but you can also add options in your `.vimrc`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
let g:ale_javascript_prettier_options = '--single-quote --trailing-comma es5'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## [coc-prettier](https://github.com/neoclide/coc-prettier)
|
|
|
|
Prettier extension for [coc.nvim](https://github.com/neoclide/coc.nvim) which requires neovim or vim8.1.
|
|
Install coc.nvim with your favorite plugin manager, such as [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Plug 'neoclide/coc.nvim', {'do': { -> coc#util#install()}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And install coc-prettier by command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CocInstall coc-prettier
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setup `Prettier` command in your `init.vim` or `.vimrc`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
command! -nargs=0 Prettier :call CocAction('runCommand', 'prettier.formatFile')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Update your `coc-settings.json` for languages that you want format on save.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
"coc.preferences.formatOnSaveFiletypes": ["css", "Markdown"],
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
[coc-prettier](https://github.com/neoclide/coc-prettier) have same configurations of [prettier-vscode](https://github.com/prettier/prettier-vscode), open `coc-settings.json` by `:CocConfig` to get autocompletion support.
|
|
|
|
## Running manually
|
|
|
|
If you want something really bare-bones, you can create a custom key binding. In this example, `gp` (mnemonic: "get pretty") is used to run prettier (with options) in the currently active buffer:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nnoremap gp :silent %!prettier --stdin --stdin-filepath % --trailing-comma all --single-quote<CR>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that if there's a syntax error in your code, the whole buffer will be replaced with an error message. You'll need to press `u` to get your code back.
|
|
|
|
Another disadvantage of this approach is that the cursor position won't be preserved.
