Should a Formatter be Used?

[JammSpread]

I wonder whether a formatter (such as Prettier) could help format the source code. It could also help maintain consistency throughout the project. Would that be useful and make sense in this project?

Hi @JammSpread Prettier is a good idea, however as this project doesn't rely or use NPM there's no place for it. One thing we can do though is add a GitHub action for Prettier I think it would work.

I am concerned for one thing though which is that a lot of the CSS is considered by compilers/linters as invalid since it uses Chrome's i18n variables, so I'm not sure if prettier would work properly with it.

I was thinking about the action setup as well, however ".css" could always be ignored if it doesn't work out.

I think then prettier should be mostly applied to the javascript files main.js, options.js and background.js as the rest of the files are mostly minified
