GoHugo / `.html`

To use it with GoHugo and basic .html files, you'll have to override the used parser inside your .prettierrc file:

{
  overrides: [
    {
      files: ["*.html"],
      options: {
        parser: "go-template",
      },
    },
  ],
}

VSCode

Make sure to always have installed both dependencies:

prettier
prettier-plugin-go-template

Also make sure that they are installed inside the same scope. Install both globally (npm i -g) or locally – otherwise prettier may not pick up the plugin.

Note: The global setup additional requires setting your VSCode prettier path to your global prettier path. You can read in this issue how to set it up – should be doable in less than a minute if you have npm & VSCode already running.

Additional Options

// .prettierrc
{
  /**
   * Enables & disables spacing between go statements.
   * E.g. {{ statement }} vs {{statement}}.
   * Default: true
   */
  "goTemplateBracketSpacing": true
}

Ignoring Code

Single Block

<div>
  <!-- prettier-ignore -->
  {{if }}
  {{end }}
</div>

Multiline

  <script>
    {{if }}
    Whatever.
    {{else }}
    Psych.
    {{end }}
  </script>
  {{/* prettier-ignore-end */}}
</html>
