To set up Husky pre-commit hooks with Prettier, you need to initialize Husky, create the pre-commit script, and configure lint-staged to format staged files. This automates formatting checks on every commit.

Yes, you can configure lint-staged and Husky across npm, yarn, pnpm, or bun setups. The setup process detects your package manager and adapts dependency installation and hook configuration accordingly.

The best way to enforce code quality on staged files is by integrating Husky with lint-staged. This combination runs Prettier formatting and optional type checks only on staged changes, preventing bad code from entering your repository.

No, you do not need an existing Prettier configuration. The pre-commit setup process automatically creates a default Prettier configuration if one is missing in your repository.

To add type checking and test scripts to a pre-commit hook, you integrate them into the Husky pre-commit flow alongside lint-staged. This ensures verification steps run automatically on staged changes before committing.

If lint-staged fails during the pre-commit hook, it is often due to missing dependencies or incorrect Husky initialization. Ensure dependencies are installed and the pre-commit script is correctly created for your package manager.
