This package provides a TypeScript language service plugin designed to integrate Prettier formatting capabilities directly into development environments. It supports both range and document formatting, aiming to ensure consistent code style within editors that leverage the TypeScript Language Server. The current and only published version is 0.0.3, indicating it is an early-stage, experimental project. As of April 2026, it appears to be abandoned, with no updates or new releases in approximately three years, suggesting a lack of ongoing maintenance or development. Its primary differentiator was the direct integration of Prettier into the TypeScript language service, enhancing developer experience by providing automatic formatting within compatible IDEs, but its practical utility is significantly limited by its experimental status and lack of active maintenance.
npm install typescript-prettier-language-serviceNo compatibility data collected yet for this library.
This `tsconfig.json` snippet demonstrates how to enable the `typescript-prettier-language-service` plugin within your TypeScript project. This configuration instructs the TypeScript language server to load the plugin, which then provides Prettier-based formatting services to your IDE or editor.
Avoid using this package for new projects. Consider more mature and actively maintained Prettier integrations, such as dedicated editor extensions or format-on-save utilities, for reliable formatting.
Before integration, thoroughly verify the project's current activity and support availability. Given its abandoned status, it's best to assume no support will be available.
Always ensure compatibility with your installed `typescript` and `prettier` versions. It is strongly recommended to migrate to actively maintained alternatives that explicitly support current toolchain versions.
Ensure `typescript-prettier-language-service` is present in your `node_modules`. Verify that it's correctly listed in the `compilerOptions.plugins` array in your `tsconfig.json`. Check that your `typescript` and `prettier` versions meet the plugin's peer dependency requirements.
Check your editor's settings to confirm that the TypeScript language service is designated as the primary formatter for TypeScript files. Temporarily disable other formatting extensions to rule out conflicts. Review your editor's output logs for any messages from the TypeScript server regarding the plugin.
