Wanna run prettier in your editor, but fast? Welcome to prettierd!

This is built on top of core_d.js and integrates with prettier.

The prettierd script always takes the file in the standard input and the positional parameter with the name of the file:

$ cat file.ts | prettierd file.ts

Following the instructions from https://github.com/mantoni/core_d.js#moar-speed:

$ PORT=`cat ~/.prettierd | cut -d" " -f1`
$ TOKEN=`cat ~/.prettierd | cut -d" " -f2`
$ echo "$TOKEN $PWD file.ts" | cat - file.ts | nc localhost $PORT

Checkout src/service.ts for a list of supported languages/extensions. Feel free to open a PR if you're missing something.

I use this directly with neovim's TCP client, see more details in this blog post or my configuration.

Alternatively, one can use prettierme to integrate directly with other editors.

Or, as a third option for users of Vim/Neovim plugins such as formatter.nvim or vim-codefmt, you can configure prettierd in the stdin mode. Below is an example with formatter.nvim:

require('formatter').setup({
  logging = false,
  filetype = {
    javascript = {
        -- prettierd
       function()
          return {
            exe = "prettierd",
            args = {vim.api.nvim_buf_get_name(0)},
            stdin = true
          }
        end
    },
    -- other formatters ...
  }
})
