prettier-config-standard

library7.0.0jsnpmunverified

A shareable Prettier configuration that enforces JavaScript Standard Style formatting rules. Version 7.0.0 is the latest stable release, compatible with Prettier ^2.6.0 or ^3.0.0. It explicitly sets Prettier options to match the Standard style, including arrowParens, bracketSameLine, singleAttributePerLine, endOfLine, and JSX quote handling. Unlike directly using Standard, this config works with Prettier as a standalone formatter without ESLint. Updated with each Prettier major release to track option changes and peer dependency ranges.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default (string)

✓ module.exports = 'prettier-config-standard'

✗ module.exports = require('prettier-config-standard')

For `.prettierrc.js` or `prettier.config.js`. The package exports a string, not an object.

default (string)

✓ "prettier": "prettier-config-standard"

✗ "prettier": { "extends": "prettier-config-standard" }

In `package.json`, set the `prettier` key to the string directly.

require for extending

✓ const prettierConfigStandard = require('prettier-config-standard')

✗ import prettierConfigStandard from 'prettier-config-standard'

CommonJS require is used for extending because the module is not ESM.

Installs the shared config and uses it via .prettierrc.js or package.json, then formats a file.

// Install npm install --save-dev prettier prettier-config-standard // .prettierrc.js module.exports = 'prettier-config-standard'; // Or package.json { "name": "my-project", "prettier": "prettier-config-standard", "devDependencies": { "prettier": "^3.0.0", "prettier-config-standard": "^7.0.0" } } // Format a file npx prettier --write src/index.js

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn v4.0.0, arrowParens changed from 'avoid' to 'always'. Code that relied on omitting parentheses around single-parameter arrow functions will now have parentheses added.

fix

Update code to include parentheses on all arrow function parameters, or pin to v3.x if needed.

affects: >=4.0.0

breakingIn v5.0.0, jsxBracketSameLine was replaced with bracketSameLine. Prettier < 2.4.0 is no longer supported. If using Prettier < 2.4.0, this config will cause errors.

fix

Upgrade Prettier to ^2.4.0 or later. If you must use older Prettier, stay on v4.x.

affects: >=5.0.0

breakingIn v3.0.0, endOfLine changed from 'auto' to 'lf'. Windows users may see line ending changes when formatting. Re-cloning the repository may be needed after running Prettier.

fix

Ensure your editor and git config handle LF line endings. Optionally override endOfLine in your own Prettier config.

affects: >=3.0.0

deprecatedVersion 6.0.0 added support for Prettier 3.x. Prettier 2.x is still supported but may eventually drop.

fix

Use Prettier ^3.0.0 if possible; otherwise ensure your Prettier version satisfies '^2.6.0 || ^3.0.0'.

affects: >=6.0.0

gotchaThis config does not install Prettier, Standard, or ESLint. Users often assume it will install Prettier as a dependency.

fix

Ensure you also install Prettier separately: npm install --save-dev prettier

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'prettier-config-standard'

The package is not installed.

fix

Run: npm install --save-dev prettier-config-standard

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'someOption') when using require('prettier-config-standard') and merging

The module exports a string, not an object. Using require returns the string, not a config object.

fix

If you want to extend the config, use: const prettierConfigStandard = require('prettier-config-standard') and then reference the string. For merging, use require.resolve('prettier-config-standard') to get the path, or just use the string directly in package.json.

Invalid configuration file: "prettier-config-standard" is not a valid configuration object or string

You may be trying to use the config in a JSON file that expects a different format, or have a syntax error.

fix

Ensure your .prettierrc.json contains exactly "prettier-config-standard". For .prettierrc.js, use module.exports = 'prettier-config-standard';
