How to setup prettier for WebStorm ?

Prettier is amazing code formatter and help to don't be worried about your own code style.

Prettier allow us to define a set of formatter rules but we can write our code as wherever we want but when you save the formatter apply these rules.

The good news is that Prettier it works like a charm with vscode but for WebStorm need some extra clicks.

These are my steps for work with prettier with WebStorm.

1- Be sure you have prettier in your project or install it globally.

npm install -g prettier
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2- Go to File | Settings | Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript | Prettier
and check options.

[✅] On code reformat.
[
✅] On save.

Sass and SCSS

Thanks @dinaelurdaneta we can use prettier with sass or scss files using stylelint and extra setup for prettier.

1- Install stylelint local or globally.

npm install -g stylelint
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2- Add scss and sass extension into _Run for file glob pattern. _

include sass extension for prettier support

Enjoy Prettier!
