coc-prettier

library11.0.1jsnpmunverified

Prettier formatter extension for coc.nvim, version 11.0.1. Fork of prettier-vscode adapted for Neovim/Vim via the coc.nvim async completion framework. Supports formatting for JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, Markdown, YAML, and more via Prettier plugins. Uses project-local or global Prettier installation with fallback to bundled version. Configure via coc-settings.json or Prettier config files. Release cadence follows coc.nvim ecosystem. Key differentiator: native integration with coc.nvim's async formatting pipeline vs standalone formatters.

Install & Compatibility

Where this runs

No compatibility data collected yet for this library.

Code

Verified usage

Installs the extension via :CocInstall, then demonstrates formatting the current buffer and setting up format-on-save for common filetypes.

:CocInstall coc-prettier " In your project, after prettier is installed locally: " format current buffer :call CocAction('format') " or use a key mapping nmap <silent> <Leader>f <Plug>(coc-format) " Automatically format on save via coc-settings.json: " { " "coc.preferences.formatOnSaveFiletypes": ["javascript", "typescript", "json", "html", "css", "markdown"] " }

Debug

Known issues

gotchaLocal prettier installation overrides bundled version; ensure prettier is listed in project's devDependencies or root package.json to avoid version mismatch.

fix

Run `npm install prettier -D --save-exact` inside your project and verify it is resolved correctly.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaFormat-on-save requires explicit configuration in coc-settings.json; the extension does not enable it by default.

fix

Add `"coc.preferences.formatOnSaveFiletypes": [...]` to your coc-settings.json.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaPlugins for additional languages (e.g., Ruby, PHP) must be installed separately and registered in package.json; this extension only activates plugins from a local or global prettier resolution.

fix

Install the desired plugin (e.g., `@prettier/plugin-ruby`) and ensure it appears in your project's package.json.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThe `prettier.resolveGlobalModules` option (default false) if set to true may load global prettier which could mismatch project config or be untrusted; user will be prompted to confirm.

fix

Set `"prettier.resolveGlobalModules": false` (default) and always use local prettier.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaSettings defined in coc-settings.json apply only when formatting via the extension, not via CLI; always use Prettier config files for consistent behavior across tools.

fix

Create .prettierrc in your project root and avoid relying on coc-settings.json for non-project files.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

CocInstall error: invalid extension

The coc.nvim version is older than 0.0.82 or the extension name is misspelled.

fix

Update coc.nvim via `:CocUpdate` and install with `:CocInstall coc-prettier` (note hyphen).

Prettier module not found

Prettier is not installed locally nor globally, and the bundled version is missing or corrupted.

fix

Run `npm install prettier -D --save-exact` in your project root.

Cannot read property 'format' of undefined

Format action called but no formatter registered for the current filetype.

fix

Ensure prettier supports the filetype, or add a Prettier config. Check `:CocInfo` to see registered formatters.
