🚀 Prettier Apex [CLI App] [Web App]
This week I explored the most widely used Salesforce Apex formatter: prettier-plugin-apex.
Problem it Solves
Code formatting can often be a source of frustration in development teams, as maintaining a consistent style across multiple developers can be a daunting and time-consuming task. With each team member having their own coding preferences, ensuring uniformity throughout the codebase becomes increasingly difficult. This not only leads to inconsistencies but also wastes valuable time during code reviews, where team members must manually check for formatting issues, diverting attention away from more critical code quality concerns.
Apex Prettier Plugin comes to the rescue by automating the apex code formatting process, ensuring that code adheres to a consistent style without the need for manual intervention.
Notable features
