Automate using Prettier, Es Lint and Husky

1. Install the compatible node version

  nvm install v20.13.1

2. Install and Configure Prettier

   • Install prettier as below:

     yarn add prettier -D

   • Create a .prettierrc file and write down the format as below: - online ref

   trailingComma: 'all'
   tabWidth: 2
   useTabs: false
   semi: true
   singleQuote: true
   bracketSpacing: true
   bracketSameLine: true
   arrowParens: 'avoid'
   printWidth: 120
   overrides:
     - files:
         - '*.js'
         - '*.jsx'
       options:
         bracketSpacing: true
         jsxSingleQuote: true
         semi: true
         singleQuote: true
         tabWidth: 2
         useTabs: false
     - files:
         - '*.ts'
       options:
         tabWidth: 2

   • Create a .prettierignore file and write as below(sample)

   # Ignore artifacts:
   build
   coverage
   e2e
   node_modules
   dist
   dest
   reports
   
   # Ignore files
   *.lock
   package-lock.json
   yarn.lock

3. Install Es Lint, if not installed

ng add @angular-eslint/schematics

if error comes, use the below command

ng add @angular-eslint/schematics@next

4. Configure pre-commit hooks

Pre-commit hooks are a nice way to run certain checks to ensure clean code. This can be used to format staged files if for some reason they weren’t automatically formatted during editing. husky can be used to easily configure git hooks to prevent bad commits. We will use this along with pretty-quick to run Prettier on our changed files. Install these packages, along with npm-run-all, which will make it easier for us to run npm scripts:

yarn add husky pretty-quick npm-run-all -D

To configure the pre-commit hook, simply add a precommit npm script. We want to first run Prettier, then run TSLint on the formatted files. To make our scripts cleaner, I am using the npm-run-all package, which gives you two commands, run-s to run scripts in sequence, and run-p to run scripts in parallel:

  "precommit": "run-s format:fix lint",
  "format:fix": "pretty-quick --staged",
  "format:check": "prettier --config ./.prettierrc --list-different \"src/{app,environments,assets}/**/*{.ts,.js,.json,.css,.scss}\"",
  "format:all": "prettier --config ./.prettierrc --write \"src/{app,environments,assets}/**/*{.ts,.js,.json,.css,.scss}\"",
  "lint": "ng lint",

5. Initialize husky

   • Run it once

     npm pkg set scripts.prepare="husky install"
     npm run prepare

   • Add a hook

     npx husky add .husky/pre-commit "yarn run precommit"
     npx husky add .husky/pre-commit "yarn test"
     git add .husky/pre-commit

   • Make a commit

     git commit -m "Keep calm and commit"
     # `yarn run precommit and yarn test` will run every time you commit

6. How to skip prettier format only in particular file

   1. JS

   matrix(1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1);
   
   // prettier-ignore
   matrix(
       1, 0, 0,
       0, 1, 0,
       0, 0, 1
     )

   2. JSX

   <div>
     {/* prettier-ignore */}
     <span     ugly  format=''   />
   </div>

   3. HTML

   <!-- prettier-ignore -->
   <div         class="x"       >hello world</div            >
   
   <!-- prettier-ignore-attribute -->
   <div (mousedown)="       onStart    (    )         " (mouseup)="         onEnd      (    )         "></div>
   
   <!-- prettier-ignore-attribute (mouseup) -->
   <div (mousedown)="onStart()" (mouseup)="         onEnd      (    )         "></div>

   4. CSS

   /* prettier-ignore */
   .my    ugly rule
