In the latest version of Oxfmt (better prettier replacement): • oxfmt --migrate prettier • oxfmit --init • oxfmt --stdin-filepath for pipe usage • Node.js API • Sort package.json fields by default • Respect root .editorconfig Give it a try: • www.npmjs.com/package/oxfmt

Since prettier works with so many other languages, wouldn’t it be better to run oxfmt as a prettier plugin and keep prettier around?

Having a plugin that replaces the formatting engine is not how I think plugins can work. I think they can only add stuff. Besides, what I like about Biome is that its CI job takes 5s, I think oxfmt should attempt to follow in those footsteps. That can't happen if npm install is required.

FWIW I just found out that @prettier/plugin-oxc exists for increasing Prettier parsing speed using Oxc github.com/prettier/pre... oxfmt views it as a stable middle ground for people who are waiting for more features to be added to oxfmt.

Awesome. I’m not exactly waiting for more oxfmt features. My projects aren’t large enough to justify maintaining prettier AND oxfmt. Prettier supports so many languages.

I didn’t realise it supported YAML, Markdown, etc. I thought it was just TS and JS. This actually looks like it could replace Prettier for me now.
