Set up a CLI script that prettifies the entire code base. Developers and scripts can run this script whenever they made changes and are unsure whether there are formatting issues. This removes a large amount of edge cases. Prettier makes this easy:
prettier --write .
Examples for such tasks could be npm run format
, make format
, etc.
While you are at it, extend this script to run all the tools
that you use to keep your code base in a good shape. An example are linters,
which can often also auto-correct certain issues they find. A better name for
such a script might be fix
instead of format
.
