eslint-plugin-prettier is an ESLint plugin that runs Prettier as an ESLint rule and reports formatting differences as individual linting issues.
The plugin solves the problem of integrating code formatting checks into your linting workflow. Rather than running Prettier as a separate tool, it embeds Prettier's formatting logic directly into ESLint, allowing formatting violations to surface alongside other linting problems. This approach works by executing Prettier on your code and comparing its output to what you've written, then reporting any mismatches as ESLint violations that can be automatically fixed.
You should adopt this tool if you want formatting enforcement integrated into your existing ESLint setup. It works best in projects where you've disabled all other ESLint formatting rules and rely solely on Prettier for code style, using ESLint only for bug detection. The README explicitly cautions that if your desired formatting does not match Prettier's output, you should use a different tool such as prettier-eslint instead. The plugin ships with a recommended configuration that automatically disables conflicting ESLint rules and enables eslint-config-prettier to prevent rule conflicts. It supports both legacy .eslintrc configuration files and the newer flat eslint.config.js format, and includes Svelte support.
The project maintains active continuous integration with a build status pipeline. Development follows a structured changelog and contribution process with documented guidelines for contributors.
