dprint

Fast pluggable code formatter.

Config Resolution

CC Misconception: "dprint is project-local only." Wrong. dprint supports:

Ancestor lookup - walks UP directory tree for
```
dprint.json
```

Global fallback -

~/.config/dprint/dprint.json

(or

DPRINT_CONFIG_DIR

)

Explicit path -
```
dprint fmt -c /path/to/config.json
```

Discovery Mode	Behavior
`--config-discovery=true`	Default: ancestor + global
`--config-discovery=global`	Global only
`--config-discovery=false`	Require explicit `-c`

No config found anywhere → dprint errors.

Plugins

Plugins are WASM files loaded via URL in

dprint.json

{
  "plugins": [
    "https://plugins.dprint.dev/typescript-0.95.13.wasm",
    "https://plugins.dprint.dev/json-0.21.1.wasm",
    "https://plugins.dprint.dev/markdown-0.20.0.wasm"
  ]
}

Common plugins:

```
typescript
```
- TS/JS/JSX/TSX
```
json
```
- JSON/JSONC
```
markdown
```
- Markdown
```
toml
```
- TOML
```
g-plane/pretty_yaml
```
- YAML
```
g-plane/malva
```
- CSS/SCSS/Less
```
g-plane/pretty_graphql
```
- GraphQL

Plugin config - top-level keys match plugin name:

{
  "typescript": { "quoteStyle": "preferSingle", "semiColons": "asi" },
  "markdown": { "lineWidth": 100, "textWrap": "maintain" }
}

Update plugins: Check https://plugins.dprint.dev for latest versions.

CLI Commands

dprint fmt                    # Format files, write to disk
dprint check                  # Check if files need formatting (CI)
dprint fmt --diff             # Show diff without writing
dprint fmt --staged           # Format only git staged files
dprint fmt --stdin ts         # Format stdin as TypeScript
dprint fmt "src/**/*.ts"      # Format specific patterns
dprint init                   # Create dprint.json
dprint config update          # Update plugin versions
dprint clear-cache            # Clear plugin cache
dprint lsp                    # Start language server

Editor Integration

Zed

{
  "formatter": {
    "external": {
      "command": "dprint",
      "arguments": ["fmt", "--stdin", "{buffer_path}"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Install "dprint" extension. It uses dprint LSP automatically.

Neovim

Use

null-ls

conform.nvim

with dprint as formatter.

Dotfiles Pattern

For consistent formatting across all projects:

# 1. Create config in dotfiles
~/<dotfiles>/dprint/dprint.json

# 2. Set global config location (in shell rc)
export DPRINT_CONFIG_DIR="$HOME/<dotfiles>/dprint"

# Alternative: symlink to default location
mkdir -p ~/.config/dprint
ln -s ~/<dotfiles>/dprint/dprint.json ~/.config/dprint/dprint.json

Projects with local

dprint.json

override global. Projects without use global.

Excludes

{
  "excludes": [
    "**/node_modules",
    "**/*-lock.json",
    "**/dist",
    "**/build"
  ]
}

dprint help              # All commands
