Input:

let myApp = {
  /* deeply nested objects */
};

myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space  = "My First JavaScript App"; // Good

let newApp = myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space; // Untoward line break

consle.log(myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space /* Untoward line break*/, 1, 2, 3);

Output:

let myApp = {
  /* deeply nested objects */
};

myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space =
  "My First JavaScript App"; // Good

let newApp =
  myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp
    .name.is.too.long.name.space; // Untoward line break

consle.log(
  myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp
    .name.is.too.long.name.space /* Untoward line break*/,
  1,
  2,
  3
);

if have line break in property accessors, Searchability is degradation.

Expected behavior:

Preferably no line break in property accessors. 🙏

let myApp = {
  /* deeply nested objects */
};

myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space =
  "My First JavaScript App";

let newApp =
  myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space;

consle.log(
  myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.and.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space.myApp.name.is.too.long.name.space,
  1,
  2,
  3
);

This is especially a problem when one long fully-qualified es6 class extends another long fully-qualified es6 class. I would prefer the line to break before or after the extends keyword, but it usually breaks inside one of the class names, harming searchability.

Here's some code you should probably never write (Playground link):

  const { originalSrc, transformedSrc } = (await v.json()).data.product.images
    .edges[0].node;

Nonetheless, Prettier is probably making the "wrong" choice here too, in that it breaks within the property chain as opposed to literally anywhere else. OP makes a great point that this would thwart a codebase search for images.edges. It also just looks funny.

A lot of JavaScript line break scenarios were greatly improved in v2.3 but this was not one of them. It's easily worked around by writing better code, but the example does succinctly demonstrate the current limitation.
