Prettier is simple once a team agrees on the rules, but remembering every option name is not. A config generator helps you choose formatting preferences from a form and immediately see the .prettierrc output you can commit.
What Is the Prettier Config Generator?
Prettier Config Generator is one of the tools in WebdevToolbox’s DevOps Tools category. Build a .prettierrc configuration with all common formatting options, including the choices teams usually debate during setup. It runs entirely in your browser — no server uploads, no accounts, no waiting.
How to Use It
- Open the tool at /tools/prettier-config-generator.
- Choose the formatting options you want, such as quote style, semicolons, print width, and trailing commas.
- Review the live .prettierrc output as each setting changes.
- Copy or download the generated config and add it to your repository.
Key Features
- Common Prettier options — configure the settings most teams care about without memorizing keys.
- Immediate JSON output — see the config file update live as you change values.
- Useful for team defaults — create a documented baseline before rolling out formatting automation.
- Good for quick comparisons — test different option combinations before settling on one.

When to Use the Prettier Config Generator
