How to Fix Prettier and ESLint Compatibility Issues for Your Vue.js Projects

If you've found yourself struggling with Prettier not formatting your code as you desire while using it alongside ESLint, you're not alone. Many developers encounter this issue, especially in Vue.js projects where both tools are essential for maintaining code quality and consistency.

In this guide, we will explore a common configuration scenario where Prettier and ESLint don't play well together. We’ll walk through the steps to resolve these conflicts and ensure a smooth integration of both tools in your project.

Understanding the Problem

You've set up your ESLint configuration to follow certain rules, as well as your .prettierrc file to dictate how you want your code formatted. However, when you run Prettier, it does not format your code according to these preferences. Instead, you receive warnings that indicate conflicts between the formatting outputs of Prettier and the linting rules of ESLint.

Common Issues Identified:

Line Break Warnings: "Expected no line breaks before closing bracket, but 1 line break found."

Indentation Warnings: "Expected indentation of 2 spaces but found 4 spaces."

Both of these issues highlight the misalignment between the rules set in your ESLint configuration and the formatting that Prettier applies.

Solution: Integrating ESLint and Prettier Seamlessly

To resolve the above issues and get Prettier and ESLint to work in harmony, you need to incorporate some additional configurations and plugins into your project.

Step 1: Install Required Packages

First, you need to install the necessary npm packages that help integrate Prettier with ESLint. Run the following command in your terminal:

Step 2: Update Your ESLint Configuration

Next, you'll need to update your .eslintrc file to include the plugin:prettier/recommended configuration. This ensures that ESLint will use Prettier as one of its rules, thus reducing the chances of formatting conflicts.

Modify your ESLint extends configuration like this:

Step 4: Test Your Configuration

Run Prettier and then ESLint on your codebase to see if the issues are resolved. With the above adjustments, Prettier should now format your code correctly, matching your expectations without any linting conflicts.

Example of Desired Output

After making these changes, when you format the following code:
