Use a code formatter #1596

Open bjohansebas opened 2 months ago

bjohansebas commented 2 months ago

Implementing a formatter like Prettier or Biome would help maintain better consistency in code style. Although standard.js already handles the style, it's only for JavaScript. It would be better to have a tool capable of maintaining consistency in HTML, CSS, or any other language in the repository as well.

I'd be open to this since we are the only main contributors working right now, and it'd make for a better developer experience. But its a non trivial amount of work to maintain formatting across a team of many people.

It would either help us get rid of prettifying junk in our PRs, or it could make it worse.

Not a bad suggestion though!

This is reasonable, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. I have some other suggestions that might have more value--will try to find time to put them in an issue.
