Automate Prettier formatting by setting up Husky pre-commit hooks integrated with lint-staged, which automatically formats staged JavaScript and TypeScript files before they are committed. This ensures clean, consistent code enters your repository.

Yes, you can wire optional type-checking and tests into your pre-commit workflow. If your project has existing typecheck and test scripts, the setup integrates them into the Husky hooks to run during the commit process for safer commits.

Yes, the pre-commit setup supports npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun. It automatically detects the package manager used in your JavaScript or TypeScript project to correctly install and configure the necessary Husky hooks and scripts.

You need a package.json file in the root of your JavaScript or TypeScript project. Optionally, having existing typecheck and test scripts allows the setup to include those checks in the pre-commit workflow alongside Prettier formatting.

Using lint-staged with Husky runs Prettier formatting only on staged files rather than the entire project. This targeted approach keeps your pre-commit hooks fast while guaranteeing that every committed file meets your formatting standards.
