Last modified: 10 August 2022

Required plugins:

JavaScript and TypeScript -  The plugin is available only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, where it is enabled by default.

Prettier -  Install the plugin on the Settings/Preferences | Plugins page, tab Marketplace. The plugin is available only in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.

Prettier is a tool to format .js, .ts, .css, .less, .scss, .vue, and .json code. With IntelliJ IDEA, you can format selected code fragments as well as entire files or directories using the Reformat with Prettier action. IntelliJ IDEA adds this action as soon as you install Prettier as a dependency in your project or globally on your computer.

You can configure Prettier to reformat specific files every time such file is changed and the changes are saved automatically or manually.

Also, Prettier can be set as default formatter for specific files. It will run against such files every time you reformat your code with Ctrl+Alt+L.

See Reformat code with Prettier for details.
