prettier-plugin-rust

library0.1.9jsnpmunverified

A prettier plugin for formatting Rust code, version 0.1.9. It provides Prettier-based formatting for Rust files, supporting both code that compiles and code that doesn't (e.g., missing annotations). It fixes common syntax errors like missing semicolons, blocks, and parentheses. The plugin also includes a VSCode extension. It uses the jinx-rust parser. Key differentiators vs rustfmt: ability to format incomplete code, auto-fix common errors, and integration with Prettier ecosystem. Released monthly or so; actively maintained.

Verified usage

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

default

✓ import prettierPluginRust from 'prettier-plugin-rust'

✗ const prettierPluginRust = require('prettier-plugin-rust')

Package is ESM-only since v0.1.5; CommonJS require will fail.

prettier-plugin-rust

✓ Add to .prettierrc: { "plugins": ["prettier-plugin-rust"] }

✗ Importing as a regular module and passing incorrectly

The plugin must be loaded via Prettier's plugin system, not imported in code directly.

Demonstrates formatting Rust code using Prettier's programmatic API with the plugin. Shows parser option 'rust' and plugin path.

Debug

Known issues

breakingPlugin fails if imported via CommonJS require() due to ESM-only exports.

fix

Use ES module import or configure Prettier to load the plugin via its plugin system.

affects: >=0.1.5

gotchaThe plugin requires Prettier to be installed as a peer dependency; it does not work standalone.

fix

Install prettier as a dependency alongside prettier-plugin-rust.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedCertain Prettier options like trailingComma and embeddedLanguageFormatting are not supported yet.

fix

Avoid using those options; they will be ignored or cause errors.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaCargo workspace layout may not be detected; files outside a recognized Cargo project may not be formatted correctly.

fix

Ensure your .rs files are inside a Cargo project or use Prettier's file detection overrides.

affects: >=0.0.0

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'prettier-plugin-rust'

Module not installed or not resolved correctly in CommonJS environment.

fix

Install the plugin as a devDependency: npm install --save-dev prettier-plugin-rust. Use ES import if in module context.

Cannot use import statement outside a module

The plugin is ESM-only since v0.1.5, but user's Node.js project is not configured as module.

fix

Add "type": "module" to package.json or use dynamic import(). Alternatively, use Prettier's plugin system via .prettierrc.

Error: No parser could be inferred for file: src/main.rs

Prettier may not automatically select the Rust parser; need to specify explicitly.

fix

Set "parser": "rust" in your Prettier config or use a file extension override: { "overrides": { "files": "*.rs", "options": { "parser": "rust" } } }.
