Better formatting for HTML tags with Vetur?

I noticed that prettier is now used by Vetur to format the HTML part of Vue files. I don't always understand the way it is formatted:

<b-button v-else pill variant="primary" @click="submit"
  >Finish</b-button
>

If I add just one class element it goes:

<b-button
  v-else
  pill
  class="pb-2"
  variant="primary"
  @click="submit"
  >Finish</b-button
>

However, since my editor is more than 100 chars wide, it would make it legit to format it as:

<b-button v-else pill class="pb-2" variant="primary" @click="submit">
  Finish
</b-button>

I looked at the options of Prettier, but I didn't find any relevant configuration settings for this matter.

How can tell my vscode formatter to format HTML tags as wanted?

In my .prettierrc.json I have:

{
  "singleQuote": true,
  "arrowParens": "avoid",
  "jsxBracketSameLine": true
}
Solution

  • prettier offers you options for both:

    To get your desired output, you would probably need:

    {
  "printWidth": 100,
  "htmlWhitespaceSensitivity": "ignore"
}

    By default the htmlWhitespaceSensivity is set to 'css', because:

    as you may notice during daily HTML works, the following two cases won't produce the same output:

    1<b> 2 </b>3 => 1 2 3

    1<b>2</b>3 => 123

    This happens because whitespace is significant in inline elements.
