prettier-with-tabs

library0.22.0jsnpmunverified

A fork of Prettier v0.22.0 (beta) that adds an option to indent lines with tabs instead of spaces. Prettier is an opinionated JavaScript formatter that parses JS into an AST and pretty-prints it, ignoring original formatting. This fork targets developers who need tab indentation before official support, but is no longer maintained (upstream Prettier now supports tabs via `useTabs`). Legacy release, only useful for historical reference or locked toolchains.

Install & Compatibility

Code

Verified usage

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

prettier.format

✓ import prettier from 'prettier-with-tabs'; prettier.format(code, { tabWidth: 4 });

✗ const prettier = require('prettier-with-tabs'); prettier.format(code, { tabWidth: 4 }); // valid, but CJS only, not ESM

This package is CJS-only (no ESM). Use named exports like `format` are not available; default export is the api object.

prettier.check

✓ import prettier from 'prettier-with-tabs'; prettier.check(code);

✗ import { check } from 'prettier-with-tabs'; // no named export 'check'

Same as format; the API is through the default export object.

prettier.resolveConfig

✓ import prettier from 'prettier-with-tabs'; prettier.resolveConfig.sync(process.cwd());

✗ import { resolveConfig } from 'prettier-with-tabs'; // not a named export

resolveConfig is a nested object; use dot notation.

Formats a JavaScript function with tabs for indentation using the fork's default tab style.

import prettier from 'prettier-with-tabs'; const code = `function hello(name) { console.log('hello, ' + name); }`; const formatted = prettier.format(code, { parser: 'babel', tabWidth: 4, // Note: this fork does not support useTabs; tabs are always used }); console.log(formatted); // Output: // function hello(name) { // \tconsole.log('hello, ' + name); // }

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedThe package is a deprecated fork; upstream Prettier now supports `useTabs` option natively.

fix

Migrate to official prettier package and use `useTabs: true`.

affects: >=0.0.1

breakingThe package name 'prettier-with-tabs' is confusing; many expect it to be a plugin or config, not a full fork.

fix

Use official prettier with `useTabs` option, or if you need this exact behavior, pin version.

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaThis version (0.22.0) is a beta; formatting may change across minor releases.

fix

Do not rely on consistent formatting across updates; pin to exact version.

affects: >=0.22.0 <1.0.0

gotchaThe package is CJS-only, no ESM exports. Using `import` requires a bundler or Node >=12 with esm flag.

fix

Use `require('prettier-with-tabs')` or configure your transpiler to handle CJS.

affects: >=0.0.1

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Cannot find module 'prettier-with-tabs'

Package not installed or typo in package name.

fix

Run `npm install prettier-with-tabs` or check the name in package.json.

TypeError: prettier.format is not a function

Importing incorrectly; e.g., destructuring a non-existent named export.

fix

Use default import: `import prettier from 'prettier-with-tabs'` then `prettier.format(...)`.

Error: Invalid version: "0.22.0"

Using a semver range that doesn't match the package's actual version (e.g., `^1.0.0`).

fix

Use exact version `0.22.0` or range `~0.22.0`.
