Oberon Prettier Config

1.0.0 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

Oberon's standard Prettier configuration, version 1.0.0. It is a simple, shared configuration for Prettier that enforces a consistent code style across projects. The package is stable and follows Semantic Versioning. It is intended to be used as an extendable config in package.json, offering an opinionated but minimal setup. Unlike other shareable configs like @company/prettier-config, it focuses on simplicity and integration with Oberon's ecosystem.

Common errors

error Cannot find module 'oberon-prettier-config' ↓

cause Trying to require or import the package in a config file that expects a JavaScript object.

fix

Use the string reference in package.json or export the string from prettier.config.js.

error Configuration for 'prettier' not found ↓

cause Prettier version mismatch or wrong config path.

fix

Prettier 2.0+ uses the "prettier" field in package.json or .prettierrc. Ensure oberon-prettier-config is installed.

Warnings

gotcha The config must be referenced as a string, not a JavaScript import. ↓

fix Set "prettier": "oberon-prettier-config" in package.json.

gotcha Prettier peer dependency may not be installed automatically with older npm versions. ↓

fix Ensure prettier is installed separately: npm install -D prettier.

Imports

default config
wrong
```
import config from 'oberon-prettier-config'
```
correct
```
"prettier": "oberon-prettier-config" in package.json
```
This package is not a JavaScript module; it is used as a string reference in package.json.
prettier.config.js
wrong
```
module.exports = require('oberon-prettier-config');
```
correct
```
module.exports = "oberon-prettier-config";
```
The correct pattern is to export the string directly, not require the package.
Prettier config object
wrong
```
import config from 'oberon-prettier-config';
```
correct
```
const config = require('oberon-prettier-config');
```
Although not recommended, if you must load the config programmatically, use require() in CommonJS. ESM import is not supported.

Install Prettier and the shared config, then set the prettier field in package.json.
