prettier-plugin-curly

Prettier plugin to enforce consistent brace style for all control statements. 🥌

Usage

First install this package as a dev dependency in your package manager of choice:

npm i prettier-plugin-curly -D

You'll then be able to list it as a Prettier plugin in your Prettier config:

{
	"plugins": ["prettier-plugin-curly"]
}

As a result, Prettier will add {} curly brackets to control flow statements such as for, if, and while:

- if (abc) def;
+ if (abc) {
+   def;
+ }

But Why?

Prettier generally does not modify the structure of code: which includes not enforcing curly brackets to match ESLint's curly rule. However, enforcing curly generally does not modify code runtime behavior, and is often desirable for code consistency and to avoid accidental bugs. This plugin enforces the equivalent of curly's all option at the Prettier level.
