prettier-elastic

library3.2.5jsnpmunverified

A fork of Prettier (v3.2.5) that customizes formatting for `var`, `let`, and `const` declarations by aligning variable names in multi-declaration statements. It provides an alternative style where commas appear at the start of continuation lines, aligning values vertically. The package supports all Prettier languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, HTML, etc.) and is maintained by medikoo. It tracks upstream Prettier releases and includes TypeScript type definitions. Key differentiator: solves dissatisfaction with Prettier's default declaration alignment, offering a more tabular format without plugins.

Verified usage

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

format

✓ import { format } from 'prettier-elastic'

✗ const prettier = require('prettier-elastic'); prettier.format(src, opts);

ESM import is recommended; the package also supports CommonJS. The format function is the same API as Prettier.

check

✓ import { check } from 'prettier-elastic'

✗ const { check } = require('prettier-elastic');

check function returns a boolean; use with --check CLI flag.

default (package)

✓ import prettier from 'prettier-elastic'

✗ const prettier = require('prettier-elastic');

Default export is an object with format, check, resolveConfig, etc. ESM default import works.

formatWithCursor

✓ import { formatWithCursor } from 'prettier-elastic'

Available in both ESM and CJS; same as upstream.

resolveConfig

✓ import { resolveConfig } from 'prettier-elastic'

✗ const { resolveConfig } = require('prettier-elastic');

Async function; works identically to Prettier's resolveConfig.

Demonstrates the core formatting difference: var declarations with aligned equals and comma-first line continuation.

import { format } from 'prettier-elastic'; const code = `var eloBar = require("elo-bar"), foo = require("foo"), otherThing = require("other-thing");`; const formatted = format(code, { parser: 'babel' }); console.log(formatted); // Output: // var eloBar = require("elo-bar") // , foo = require("foo") // , otherThing = require("other-thing");

Debug

Known issues

breakingThis is a fork with different output than standard Prettier for var/let/const multi-declarations.

fix

Do not use this if standard Prettier behavior is required. Alternatively, use 'prettier' package and configure plugins.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedDeprecated '--use-tabs' option may behave differently; prefer 'tabWidth' and 'useTabs' config.

fix

Use 'tabWidth' and 'useTabs' in your prettier config instead of --use-tabs.

affects: <3.0.0

gotchaThe package name is 'prettier-elastic', not 'prettier'. Installing the wrong package will not give the custom formatting.

fix

Run: npm install prettier-elastic and import from 'prettier-elastic'.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaVersion numbers do not necessarily match upstream Prettier; check changelog for exact mapping.

fix

Verify behavior against expected Prettier version via tests.

affects: >=3.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find module 'prettier-elastic'

Package not installed or wrong import path in ESM.

fix

Run: npm install prettier-elastic. Then import correctly: import { format } from 'prettier-elastic'.

TypeError: prettier.format is not a function

Using default import incorrectly in CommonJS.

fix

Use: const prettier = require('prettier-elastic'); correctly exports format as a method.

SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'

Using ESM import in a CommonJS file without 'type': 'module'.

fix

Add 'type': 'module' to package.json, or use require() syntax.

Error: Cannot find module './parser-babel'

Plugin resolution issue; likely missing parser dependencies.

fix

Ensure @babel/parser is installed, or use parser: 'babel' which is built-in.
