How to configure Neoformat to use Prettier?

Question

Installed Neoformat with Plug in init.vim for Neovim 0.7.2 on Linux Mint 19.3

I can't figure out how to get Neoformat to work with Prettier.

I installed Prettier as a snap package in --devmode, so that it wouldn't be sandboxed.

I installed node package Prettier globally, and it does show up when I list the global packages with npm list -g.

I can use Prettier successfully on the command line.

But in nvim, :Neoformat prettier returns: formatter definition for prettier not found.

What critical step am I missing? Tnx

Answer 1

Installing prettier globally is not recommended by the devs.

And at the end of the Config there is an option to enable local prettier installation usage.

let g:neoformat_try_node_exe = 1

To use the globally installed prettier, add the installation directory to the path.

To find the installation path run

npm list -g
