prettier-plugin-brace-style

A Prettier plugin that can apply ESLint's brace-style rules.

Installation

For Prettier v2:

npm install -D prettier@^2 prettier-plugin-brace-style

For Prettier v3:¹

npm install -D prettier prettier-plugin-brace-style

Configuration

JSON example:

{
  "plugins": ["prettier-plugin-brace-style"]
}

JS example (CommonJS module):

module.exports = {
  plugins: ['prettier-plugin-brace-style'],
  braceStyle: 'stroustrup',
};

JS example (ES module):

export default {
  plugins: ['prettier-plugin-brace-style'],
  braceStyle: 'allman',
};

Options

Brace Style

Enforces consistent brace style for blocks. Same as ESLint, you can select one of 1tbs (default), stroustrup, allman.

• 1tbs example:

  if (condition) {
    statement1;
  } else {
    statement2;
  }
  

• stroustrup example:

  if (condition) {
    statement1;
  }
  else {
    statement2;
  }
  

• allman example:

  if (condition)
  {
    statement1;
  }
  else
  {
    statement2;
  }
  

Default	CLI Override	API Override
"1tbs"	--brace-style <1tbs|stroustrup|allman>	braceStyle: "<1tbs|stroustrup|allman>"

Version correlation with sibling plugins

Starting with 0.6.0, when there is a minor release on one side, I plan to reflect that change on the other side as well if possible.

Compatibility with other Prettier plugins

If more than one Prettier plugin can handle the text you want to format, Prettier will only use the last of those plugins.

In this case, you can configure it as follows by adding prettier-plugin-merge to apply those plugins sequentially.

JSON example:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports",
    "prettier-plugin-brace-style",
    "prettier-plugin-merge"
  ],
  "braceStyle": "stroustrup"
}

Footnotes

1. If your version of prettier-plugin-brace-style is less than 0.5.0, you will also need to install @prettier/sync. ↩
