## The packages

- [@prettier/plugin-xml](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@prettier/plugin-xml)

## Installation

1. `npm install -D -E prettier@3.3.1 prettier-plugin-nginx@1.0.3 @prettier/plugin-ruby@4.0.4 prettier-plugin-toml@2.0.1 @prettier/plugin-xml@3.4.1` or probably just `pnpm install -D` if it's not your project.
1. If they don't exist already `echo "{}" > .prettierrc && touch .prettierignore`
1. `pnpm exec prettier . --write` or `pnpm exec prettier . --check`

## `.pre-commit-config.yaml`

This is the file that controls [`pre-commit`]s behaviour.

### Offline

I accidentally wrote this while updating this page to reflect me using prettier outside of [`pre-commit`] too nowadays. This has the advantage that the same local environment gets reused and dependencies are managed centrally, but assumes everyone uses pnpm, won't work in [`pre-commit` ci] and may have other issues I am not thinking of as a not-coder myself.

[`pre-commit`]: https://pre-commit.com
[`pre-commit` ci]: https://pre-commit.ci

```yaml
ci:
  skip: [pnpm-prettier]
repos:
  - repo: local
    hooks:
      - id: pnpm-prettier
        name: prettier
        entry: pnpm exec prettier --write
        language: system
        # Better handled by pretty-format-json from pre-commit-hooks.
        # Remember to have *.json in .prettierignore!
        exclude_types: [json]
```
