prettier: Format files or directories recursively using single quotes and no trailing commas.
$ prettier --single-quote --trailing-comma ${none} --write ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine

The given command is related to using the Prettier code formatter tool with specific options. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • prettier: It is the command used to run the Prettier tool.
  • --single-quote: This option tells Prettier to use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") for string literals in the code.
  • --trailing-comma ${none}: This option sets the behavior for trailing commas in arrays or objects. In this case, the value "${none}" suggests that no trailing commas should be added.
  • --write ${filename_or_directory}: This option instructs Prettier to format the specified file or directory. Prettier will apply the defined formatting rules and modify the files in place.

To use this command, replace ${none} with the desired value for trailing commas (such as "es5" or "all"), and ${filename_or_directory} with the path to the file or directory you want to format.
