prettier-language-server

library0.0.3jsnpmunverified

A minimal, fast Language Server Protocol implementation for Prettier formatting. Version 0.0.3, updated infrequently. Provides range formatting and automatic Prettier config resolution via workspace folder. Unlike prettierd (which daemonizes) or VS Code extensions, this is a standalone LSP server suitable for editors like Neovim. Requires Node >= 13.2 and TypeScript ^5.0 as a peer dependency.
