mj-pa

about

• mj-pa is my personal Prettier config tailored to format JS, JSON, & JSX.
• Opinionated by nature, it seeks to improve code simplicity and readability.
• For best results, mj-pa should be used in a React- or Vue-based environment.

Here is a look at the configuration object it exports.

usage

IMPORTANT: You must have Prettier installed in your project for mj-pa to work properly.

1) install

Using npm

npm install --save-dev mj-pa

Using yarn

yarn add -D mj-pa

2) configure

Edit the package.json file for your project to extend Prettier with mj-pa. Or, to be more specific, copy the following line of code and paste it underneath the version line of your project's package.json file in the root directory.

{
 "prettier": "mj-pa"
}

3) format

Nothing changes here; run the check or write command as you normally would

npx prettier --check .

npx prettier --write .

output

👉 FUN FACT: mj-pa is short for "Make JavaScript Pretty Again"— because what JS developer doesn't love a good one-liner? 😎

Here is an example of how your VSCode logs will appear when mj-pa is used to extend the default configuration so formatting can be applied in turn by the VS Code plugin for Prettier.
