prettier-plugin-merge-extras

A prettier plugin for less-opinionated options -- a fork of prettier-plugin-merge by necessity.

    Align properties of object literals:

        a = {
            id   : 1,
            name : 'alpha'
            foo  : true,
        }

    Preserve first or last blank line of a block:

        if (condition) {

          statement1;
          statement2;

        }

    End-of-line "//" as "// prettier-ignore":

        matrix = [  //
            1, 0, 1,
            0, 1, 0,
            0, 0, 1,
        ];

    Preserve method chain breaks:

        cy.get("something")
          .style().isBold().notItalic()
          .hasAttribute({
              name: "explanation",
              xyz: true
          })
          .done();

Installation

For Prettier v2:

npm install -D prettier@^2 @yikes2000/prettier-plugin-merge-extras

For Prettier v3:[^1]

npm install -D prettier @yikes2000/prettier-plugin-merge-extras

Configuration

JSON example:

{
  "plugins": ["@yikes2000/prettier-plugin-merge-extras"]
}

JS example (CommonJS module):

module.exports = {
  plugins: ['@yikes2000/prettier-plugin-merge-extras'],
};

JS example (ES module):

export default {
  plugins: ['@yikes2000/prettier-plugin-merge-extras'],
};

Options

Align Object Properties

Align properties of object literals.

Group consecutive lines of properties and inline comments for alignment:

  const a = {
    be  : true,
    cat : 123,

    door  : "knob",
    // inline comment, continues group
    extra : true,

    east : 123,
    foo  : [
      // multi-line, breaks group
      1, 2, 3,
    ],
    g : "new group",
    h : "hi",
  }

Alignment options: 'colon' (default), 'value', 'none'

  Align by 'colon':            Algn by 'value':

    a = {                        a = {
        name   : 'foo',              name:   'foo',
        width  : 100,                width:  100,
        height : 20,                 height: 20,
    };                           };

Align Single Property

Single property is not aligned by default.

  const a = {
    // force multi-line
    bar: true,
  }

Merge Imports

Merge simple imports:

  import { a, b } from 'foo';
  import { c } from 'foo';
  import { d } from 'foo';
  import { eee } from 'bar';

Merged:
  import { a, b, c, d } from 'foo';
  import { eee } from 'bar';

Currently a missing functionality of @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports.

Preserve Method Chain Breaks

Preserve existing method chain breaks:

  cy.get("something")
    .value().matches('abc').matches('cde')
    .allowing({
        name: "explanation",
        xyz: true
    }).andMore()
    .done();

(Indentation is still handled by Prettier.)

Otherwise Prettier formats method chain in one of two styles:

  cy.all().in().one().line();

  cy.tooManyForOneLine()
    .split()
    .them()
    .into()
    .multiple()
    .lines();

Add "// no-preserve" to revert to Prettier format:

  // no-preserve
  cy.get("something").old().style();

  // no-preserve
  cy.get("something")
    .tooManyForOneLine()
    .one()
    .two()
    .three();

Preserve by EOL Marker

End-of-line "//" marker applies "// prettier-ignore" to that line, e.g.

  matrix = [  //
    1, 0, 1,
    0, 1, 0,
    0, 0, 1,
  ];

  msg =  //
      matrix.length < 9 ? 'too smalt'
    : matrix.length > 9 ? 'too big'
    :                     'just right';

Preserve First Blank Line

Preserve the first blank line of a block (curly, bracket, or parenthesis), e.g.

  if (condition) {

    statement1;
    statement2;
  }

  a = [

    // Odds
    1, 3, 5, 7, 9,
  ];

  sum = (

    1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9
  );

Preserve Last Blank Line

Preserve the last blank line of a block (curly, bracket, or parenthesis), e.g.

  if (condition) {
    statement1;
    statement2;

  }

Compatibility with other Prettier plugins

This plugin must be positioned last, replacing prettier-plugin-merge.

JSON example:

{
  "plugins": [
    "prettier-plugin-tailwindcss",
    "prettier-plugin-classnames",
    "@yikes200/prettier-plugin-merge-extras"
  ]
}

JS example (CommonJS module):

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    '@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports',
    'prettier-plugin-brace-style',
    '@yikes2000/prettier-plugin-merge-extras',
  ],
  braceStyle: 'stroustrup',
};

Limitations

Welcome contributors to support additional languages.

This plugin's bonus options are implemented using RegExp, which is the simplest but hacky way to achieve these results, considering Prettier's rigidity. In a few rare corner cases situations these preserve options won't work, due to the limit of this RegExp approach. Please kindly report them regardless.
