Format without saving

[nikolvs]

Is there a way to format a file without automatically saving it? I read the docs, but didn't find anything about it there. If not, is it possible to implement this feature as an option? Thanks!

Hi @nikolvs,

Thanks for raising this question. Prettier async always saves the file, but if you run the synchronous version it should'nt save it.

:Prettier

One common problem is when you setup your .vimrc to use async by default with:

let g:prettier#exec_cmd_async = 1

The above will cause :Prettier to run as an alias for :PrettierAsync.

Please try the above and let me know if that solve your problem (removing the flag that forces async formatting from your .vimrc)

I also wonder how could we solve this problem differently, Im not sure if adding yet another configuration option is the right solution since that would make things even harder to configure

Hey @mitermayer, that solved my problem! Thanks!!

Is there any chance async would work without saving the buffer?

@AngeloMateus feel free to submit this as a separate issue and I can look into it, should not be a problem.
