setup-pre-commit

To set up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged and Prettier, initialize Husky, install dependencies, and configure lint-staged to run Prettier on staged files. This ensures consistent formatting and validation before commits in JavaScript and TypeScript repositories.

Yes, you can run type checking and tests in pre-commit hooks for JavaScript projects. The setup configures Husky to conditionally add typecheck and test validation scripts to the pre-commit flow if those scripts already exist in your package.json.

Yes, lint-staged formatting only runs on staged files to speed up commits. By targeting staged files specifically, the validation workflow keeps commit-time quality checks fast and focused rather than scanning the entire repository.

The best way to enforce consistent formatting before commits in TypeScript is using Husky pre-commit hooks combined with lint-staged and Prettier. This automates formatting and validation locally before code lands in version control.

Yes, you need existing package.json scripts to add typecheck and test hooks. The setup process detects your package manager and conditionally adds validation hook scripts based on the scripts already defined in your package.json.

You use pre-commit hooks instead of running Prettier manually to catch formatting, type, and test issues automatically before code lands in version control. This removes human friction and reliably enforces consistent local quality checks.
