Prettier

Languine can work together with Prettier to ensure your translation files are consistently formatted. This is particularly useful when working with JSON translation files that need to maintain a consistent style across your project.

Using with Languine

The recommended way to use Prettier with Languine is to format your translation files after they're generated. You can set this up in your package.json:

package.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "translate": "languine translate",
    "format": "prettier --write \"locales/**/*.json\"",
    "translate:format": "npm run translate && npm run format"
  }
}

Now you can:

  • Run npm run translate to only generate translations
  • Run npm run format to only format existing translation files
  • Run npm run translate:format to generate translations and format them in sequence
