Code formatting¶

There are a number of tools to format code with potentially overlapping features:

Editor Config¶

Ensures that code rules are followed as code is being written e.g. spaces vs tabs, indentation, etc

Rules are stored in .editorconfig

Fixes code after it has been written by transforming code accoring to the rules.

e.g. rules are stored in .prettierrc

Ensures code quality according to the configured rules by statically analyzing the code.

e.g. rules are store in .eslintrc
