Prettier 1.8.1 is a minor patch release following closely on the heels of Prettier 1.8.0. Both versions offer the same core functionality: an opinionated code formatter designed to enforce a consistent style across your codebase, eliminating style arguments and improving code readability. The primary difference between the versions lies in their development dependencies. Prettier 1.8.1 updates its own dev dependency on Prettier from version 1.7.3 to version 1.8.0.
For developers using Prettier, this means that the formatting rules and core engine remain largely consistent between 1.8.0 and 1.8.1. If you're already using 1.8.0, upgrading to 1.8.1 primarily ensures you're on the most recent version of the tool but comes without significant changes. Both versions include robust support for JavaScript, JSX, TypeScript, CSS, JSON and other languages, configurable through a .prettierrc file. They also integrate seamlessly with popular editors and build tools for automated formatting. Developers interested in code consistency and automated formatting can confidently use either version, but upgrading to 1.8.1 helps ensure they are using the most up-to-date tooling. Keep in mind that Prettier is designed to be opinionated - reducing configuration and promoting consistency over maximum customization. This ensures projects remain readable and maintainable regardless of individual coding styles.
