prettier: Run with a specific configuration file.
$ prettier --config ${path-to-config_file} ${filename}
try on your machine

The command prettier --config ${path-to-config_file} ${filename} is used to format a specific file according to a Prettier configuration file.

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • prettier : Refers to the Prettier CLI (command-line interface) tool.
  • --config : Specifies that a configuration file will be provided.
  • ${path-to-config_file} : The path to the Prettier configuration file that contains the formatting rules and options. This should be replaced with the actual path to the configuration file.
  • ${filename} : The path or filename of the file that needs to be formatted by Prettier. This should be replaced with the actual path or filename.

By running this command, Prettier will use the specified configuration file to format the given file, applying the appropriate formatting rules and options defined in the configuration file.
