How to ignore node_modules from prettier

Question

Using pretty-quick for beautification purpose

Prettier configuration and Eslint rules are affecting the node_modules. So, want to skip it.

Hence, tried creating .prettierignore file having node_modules defined inside it

Have config setup rule like this below:

"lint": "pretty-quick & eslint "src/**/*.{js,jsx}" --quiet --fix"

Giving error as:

SyntaxError: Nested mappings are not allowed in compact mappings (8:9)

✨  Done in 4.19s.

Also tried configuring like this:

"lint": "pretty-quick --ignore-path=.prettierignore & eslint \"src/**/*.{js,jsx}\" --quiet --fix"

But no luck.

Answer 1

Prettier's CLI ignores node_modules by default.

Answer 2

We must only do the changes for staged files by passing --staged to the existing command as shown below is the only solution i came up for now to move on.

"lint": "pretty-quick --staged & eslint "src/**/*.{js,jsx}" --quiet --fix"

Answer 3

According the npm package description, prettier ignores the files you wrote a path in .prettierrc, .prettierignore, and .editorconfig.
