Problem:
Prettier was not running when I saved Emacs buffers.
Why?
- prettier-js-mode needs needs node; lorri exposes node to direnv; direnv
exposes node to Emacs; lorri was not working as expected.
Solution:
Now that I'm using nix-buffer, I can properly expose node (and other
dependencies) to my Emacs buffers. Now Prettier is working.
Commentary:
Since prettier hadn't worked for so long, I stopped thinking about it. As such,
I did not include it as a dependency in boilerplate/typescript. I added it
now. I retroactively ran prettier across a few of my frontend projects to unify
the code styling.
I may need to run...
```shell
$ cd ~/briefcase
$ nix-shell
$ npx prettier --list-different "**/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,html,css,json}"
```
...to see which files I should have formatted.
Parcel uses process.env to expose environment variables. Since process.env is a
Node concept and this boilerplate is for TypeScript projects, we need
@types/node to support these Node types.
I would like to support boilerplate code for ReasonML, TypeScript,
ClojureScript, and Elm projects before I specialize in any of these
frameworks. All of my projects should use TailwindCSS.
All of this boilerplate should offer:
- Same command to start developing
- Same API to build and deploy
- TailwindCSS support
- Basic boilerplate for components, state, and routes
This TypeScript boilerplate is not complete, but I would like to commit the
progress in case I do not return to this for awhile.
