@prettier/plugin-xml
is a prettier plugin for XML. prettier
is an opinionated code formatter that supports multiple languages and integrates with most editors. The idea is to eliminate discussions of style in code review and allow developers to get back to thinking about code design instead.
To run prettier
with the XML plugin, you're going to need node
.
If you're using the npm
CLI, then add the plugin by:
npm install --save-dev prettier @prettier/plugin-xml
Or if you're using yarn
, then add the plugin by:
yarn add --dev prettier @prettier/plugin-xml
The prettier
executable is now installed and ready for use:
./node_modules/.bin/prettier --write '**/*.xml'
Below are the options (from src/plugin.js
) that @prettier/plugin-xml
currently supports:
API Option | CLI Option | Default | Description |
---|---|---|---|
bracketSameLine |
--bracket-same-line |
true |
Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs) |
printWidth |
--print-width |
80 |
Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs). |
tabWidth |
--tab-width |
2 |
Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs). |
xmlWhitespaceSensitivity |
--xml-whitespace-sensitivity |
"strict" |
How to handle whitespaces. Options are "strict" and "ignore" . |
Any of these can be added to your existing prettier configuration file. For example:
{
"tabWidth": 4
}
Or, they can be passed to prettier
as arguments:
prettier --tab-width 4 --write '**/*.xml'
You can use two special comments to get prettier to ignore formatting a specific piece of the document, as in the following example:
<foo>
<!-- prettier-ignore-start -->
<this-content-will-not-be-formatted />
<!-- prettier-ignore-end -->
</foo>
