Prettier: Feature Request: .prettierrc

Created on 15 Apr 2017 · 3Comments · Source: prettier/prettier

Would it make sense to keep configuration in some sort of .prettierrc file?

I feel that would be useful for sharing in teams and usage in whatever IDEs people wanna use.

On a related note, I need to ignore some directories. Can we also have a .prettierignore file?

If you need project-specific prettier config and a .prettierignore _right now,_ running prettier inside eslint --fix using eslint-plugin-prettier works really well.

We are not going to add two more dot files :) I think it's an anti-pattern to rely on dot files and it's crazy when projects have like ~30 of them just to work with the tooling.

The answer is https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/918 where we can read from a package.json. As for ignoring files, I'm pretty sure glob supports ignoring paths.

This tool is not interested in embracing complex mechanisms for deriving and inheriting configuration. We are focusing on a simple integration path that other tools, if desired, can build on.
