Prettier Slice Plugin

0.1.1 verified Sat Apr 25 auth: no javascript

A Prettier plugin for formatting Slice (Ice) language files with a custom parser 'slice2json'. Current version 0.1.1 is experimental and lacks release cadence. It differentiates from general Prettier by targeting the niche Slice language used in ZeroC Ice. Requires Prettier to be installed as a peer dependency. Use only with .ice files and configure via overrides.
