It does not check code for errors, it brings it to a consistent, neat, and readable form according to predefined rules. --- ### **Why it is needed** Prettier solves several tasks at once: **A consistent code style across the project** A team can write differently (some add spaces, some don't, some write on one line, some on three), and Prettier automatically brings everything to one style. **Saving time** There is no need to manually argue about brackets, indentation, or line breaks. Press `Format`, and everything is in order. **Readability and cleanliness of code** Formatted code is easier to read, maintain, and change. **Getting rid of "clutter"** Prettier fixes indentation, line breaks, quotes, line length, and so on, by itself. --- ### **How Prettier differs from ESLint** | Tool | What it does | |---|---| | **ESLint** | Looks for errors and bad practices in JavaScript/TypeScript | | **Prettier** | Formats code (style, line breaks, indentation, quotes) | They are often used together: **ESLint → checks** | **Prettier → aligns the code** --- ### **Where it is used** Prettier works for most file types: - JavaScript / TypeScript - HTML, CSS, SCSS - JSON - Markdown - JSX / TSX - YAML --- ### **Summary** **Prettier is needed to automatically format code and make it consistent, clean, and easy to read.** It is a tool for convenience, cleanliness, and discipline in a project, especially in team development. ---For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
