So how do we get formatting working for us? If you're already using ESLint you actually already have some formatting working for you.

Instead you just write the code any way you'd like and let the formatter reformat it for you when you're done. It also keeps you from having to make certain formatting decisions yourself (should I terminate my lines with a semi-colon or not?). Such formatting rules ensure that your code looks consistent even when developed by different developers perhaps even in different IDEs. What's the difference between formatting and linting? While linting is focused on detecting errors, formatting is about ensuring your code adheres to some consistent formatting rules such as tab width, single quotes or double quotes, trailing commas, end of line semi-colons, and more. Typically this consists of a squiggly red line under the offending code, much like spellcheck but for your code! The IDE integrations also usually make it so that you can run the command to automatically fix things with a keyboard shortcut or on the save of the file. These IDE integrations are invaluable as they allow the errors detected by ESLint to be revealed directly in the file where you're editing. It can run as a command line tool and is also integrated into most common IDEs. So, what solutions do we have available for linting our Vue.js projects? The go to linting tool for JavaScript is ESLint.ĮSLint is not only able to detect errors in your code, but in many cases, can even automatically correct them for you. Linting isn't going to save your code from any business logic flaws but it is going to make sure your code is syntactically accurate and follows some best practices. Typically, linting can do things like detect syntax errors, like a missing comma, or warn you that a file has a variable defined that is never used. So, what is linting? Linting is the automated process of statically analyzing code for potential errors. It's also worth noting, that most of the steps for setting up ESLint and Prettier described here will also work outside of a Vite project, such as with your Laravel + Vue powered applications, and so on.

If you're already familiar with linting and formatting with ESLint and Prettier then feel free to skip to part about setting them up with Vite. Let's briefly take a look at the "what and why" of linting and formatting and then jump into setting up ESLint and Prettier with your Vite powered Vue project. Perhaps you've never used such tools before.

Another step you can take to improve the developer experience when building a large scale application, especially with a team, is to setup some automated process for code linting and formatting. In the previous article of the "How to Structure a Large Scale Vue Application" series, we took a look at some standards that you can employ in your Vue.js application to keep your codebase predictable, easy to navigate, and understandable.
