multi-line object

how can we keep multi-line formatting for destructuring assignment

input:

const {
 a,
 b
} = stuff;

output :

const { a, b } = stuff;

expected:

const {
 a,
 b
} = stuff;

👋 @mmeqbel-wiley! Please share a code snippet as it helps a lot. If I understand your problem correctly, the solution may be to use // within { } or // prettier-ignore before the statement: Playground

is it possible to have the expected output without workarounds ?

The main idea of Prettier is to automate formatting and forget about it completely. Each time we spend mental effort on formatting quirks, we don’t focus on product features and other more impactful things. I know it may feel like I don’t want to answer your question, but what I’m trying to do is to help you ask this question instead: Do I really want to spend my time on how destructing assignments are formatted? 🙂

Hello @kachkaev I am not sure if it is planned for future or not, but I would also appreciate to have the possibility for destructuring arrays and object. Don´t you think that adding these // everytime I want prettier to ignore something is the mental effort you are trying to avoid? :) I personally prefer set things up one time in config file and not to use some workarounds during coding.

Code snippet for using require.js
define(["./cart", "./inventory"], function(cart, inventory) { ... some code );

In this case I would prefer to have the array expanded, especially if there is 10 and more modules that I deppend on.
