{"id":18071,"library":"typescript-prettier-language-service","title":"TypeScript Prettier Language Service Plugin","description":"This package provides a TypeScript language service plugin designed to integrate Prettier formatting capabilities directly into development environments. It supports both range and document formatting, aiming to ensure consistent code style within editors that leverage the TypeScript Language Server. The current and only published version is 0.0.3, indicating it is an early-stage, experimental project. As of April 2026, it appears to be abandoned, with no updates or new releases in approximately three years, suggesting a lack of ongoing maintenance or development. Its primary differentiator was the direct integration of Prettier into the TypeScript language service, enhancing developer experience by providing automatic formatting within compatible IDEs, but its practical utility is significantly limited by its experimental status and lack of active maintenance.","status":"abandoned","version":"0.0.3","language":"javascript","source_language":"en","source_url":null,"tags":["javascript","TypeScript","Prettier","LSP"],"install":[{"cmd":"npm install typescript-prettier-language-service","lang":"bash","label":"npm"},{"cmd":"yarn add typescript-prettier-language-service","lang":"bash","label":"yarn"},{"cmd":"pnpm add typescript-prettier-language-service","lang":"bash","label":"pnpm"}],"dependencies":[{"reason":"Required for code formatting; the plugin acts as an adapter for Prettier's capabilities.","package":"prettier","optional":false},{"reason":"The plugin extends and integrates with the TypeScript language service itself.","package":"typescript","optional":false}],"imports":[],"quickstart":{"code":"{\n  \"compilerOptions\": {\n    \"plugins\": [\n      {\n        \"name\": \"typescript-prettier-language-service\"\n      }\n    ]\n  },\n  \"include\": [\n    \"src/**/*\"\n  ]\n}","lang":"json","description":"This `tsconfig.json` snippet demonstrates how to enable the `typescript-prettier-language-service` plugin within your TypeScript project.
