prettier

brew install prettier v3.8.4 MIT

Opinionated code formatter for JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, JSON, GraphQL, Markdown, and YAML.

Why you might care

Prettier eliminates formatting debates by enforcing a single, consistent style across your codebase with zero configuration. It's the de facto standard in JavaScript/Node projects and integrates seamlessly with most editors and CI/CD pipelines. Use it when you want deterministic, non-negotiable formatting without bikeshedding.
