Prettier-atom: Config from Atom package ignored

[vyrruss]

Hello, Since the latest update of the package 0.55.2, the package doesn't take into account the settings.

Atom version: 1.29.0
prettier-atom version: 0.55.2
prettier: bundled
prettier version: 1.13.4
prettier-eslint version: 8.8.2
prettier-atom configuration: {
"formatOnSaveOptions": {
"enabled": true,
"excludedGlobs": [
"package.json"
],
"isDisabledIfNoConfigFile": true,
"showInStatusBar": true,
"respectEslintignore": true,
"whitelistedGlobs": [],
"isDisabledIfNotInPackageJson": false
},
"prettierOptions": {
"parser": "flow",
"singleQuote": true,
"trailingComma": "all"
},
"scopes": {},
"useEslint": false,
"useStylelint": false,
"prettierEslintOptions": {
"prettierLast": false
}
}

@vyrruss This is by design because plugins were adding all sorts of options every day that we could not hope to keep up with. Now, everything should be configured by .prettierrc files per project or by a fallback .prettierrc you can put in your home directory if you want a global one. Unfortunately, there is a bug with Atom that doesn't remove old package settings so it looks like we still support setting Prettier settings in Atom even though we deleted those options in our config.

@robwise Ok thanks for the info, will do now.

I don't like to include a .prettierrc, I have more than 20 plugins and the configuration of all of them is inside Atom. Should I have a single configuration file per plugin? I don't think so...

Is this a permanent solution? 😢

It's standard practice for these types of plugins, yes. See basically every linter-XXX package in existence. Remember, you can place a global .prettierrc in your home directory and you will never have to worry about a .prettierrc file again if you don't want to.

Yes because it's unfortunately not possible to do it the old way and also support the features Prettier now has (specifically plugins and automated parser inference). My hand was forced, but I must admit, I think it's a positive change anyway (this repo is now much simpler and easier to understand).

For people reading this that use the plugin to just clean up files once in a while for projects with no prettier or linting and don't want to add yet another dotfile to their home directory I found: atom-miniprettier which lets you put the options in the Atom config file.
