How can I modify how Prettier formats JavaScript?

Prettier formats classes like this:

class Foo {
  bar = 1
}

I want to change this behavior to

class Foo {

  bar = 1
}

How can I write a Prettier Plugin or something that modifies a single behavior?

Solution

  • to quote the Prettier docs:

    Prettier is not a kitchen-sink code formatter that attempts to print your code in any way you wish. It is opinionated.

    So, short answer: you can't.

    A few options do exist (you can see them in the linked docs), but only serve as either compatibility fixes or due to "high demand", but I would not expect any functionality of the kind you're looking for to ever be added.
