Prettier vs ESLint stylistic rules

ESLint stylistic rules

antfu.me

Starting report…

Pick Prettier when

  • JS/TS teams tired of style debates
  • Large codebases needing one enforced style
  • Mixed-language repos via plugins
  • VS Code users wanting format-on-save

When Prettier is not a fit

  • Speed-critical repos . Biome formats far faster
  • Teams folding formatting into ESLint stylistic rules
  • Devs wanting per-developer custom styles . it's opinionated by design
  • Teams still running compromised pre-10.1.6 plugin versions
