Format various languages with formatters in ESLint. Supports [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) and [dprint](https://dprint.dev/). Side-effects-free and fully configurable.

## Usages

### Install

```bash
npm i -D eslint-plugin-format
```

### Configure

This plugin does not do language detection or reading configure files, you need to specify the language for each file type you want to format along with other formatting options. We recommend using [ESLint's Flat Config format](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files-new).

```ts
// eslint.config.js
import format from 'eslint-plugin-format'

export default [
  // ...other flat configs

  // use Prettier to format CSS
  {
    files: ['**/*.css'],
    languageOptions: {
      parser: format.parserPlain,
    },
    plugins: {
      format,
    },
    rules: {
      'format/prettier': ['error', { parser: 'css', tabWidth: 2 }],
    },
  },

  // use dprint to format TOML
  {
    files: ['**/*.toml'],
    languageOptions: {
      parser: format.parserPlain,
    },
    plugins: {
      format,
    },
    rules: {
      'format/dprint': ['error', { language: 'toml', languageOptions: { indentWidth: 2 } }],
    },
  },
]
```

## Rules

### `format/prettier`

Use Prettier to format files.

#### Options

- `parser` (required) - the language to format, [Supported languages](https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#parser)
- The rest options are passed as Prettier options

### `format/dprint`

Use dprint to format files.

#### Options

- `language` (required) - the language to format, or can be a filepath or URL to the WASM binary. [Supported languages](https://dprint.dev/plugins/)
- `languageOptions` - the options for the language
- The rest options are passed as dprint's general options

## FAQ

### What's the difference between this and `eslint-plugin-prettier`?

While this plugin provides Prettier as one of the formatters, the main difference is that `eslint-plugin-prettier` is much more opinionated toward the Prettier CLI ecosystem. While this plugin only treats Prettier as the side-effects-free formatter and gives you full control in ESLint.
