How can the format of the chain call be consistent?

Prettier 2.8.7

Input:

Route
    .put('/user/location-abc', 'UserController.updateLocation')
    .middleware('auth')
    .name('test')
  
Route.put('/user/location-abc','User/ProfileController.updateLocation')
    .middleware('auth')
  
Route
    .put('/user/location-abc', 'UserController.updateLocation')
    .middleware('auth')

Output:

Route.put('/user/location-abc', 'UserController.updateLocation')
  .middleware('auth')
  .name('test');

Route.put(
  '/user/location-abc',
  'User/ProfileController.updateLocation'
).middleware('auth');

Route.put('/user/location-abc', 'UserController.updateLocation').middleware(
  'auth'
);

Expected behavior:

Route
  .put('/user/location-abc', 'UserController.updateLocation')
  .middleware('auth')
  .name('test')
  
Route
  .put('/user/location-abc', 'User/ProfileController.updateLocation')
  .middleware('auth')
  
Route
  .put('/user/location-abc', 'UserController.updateLocation')
  .middleware('auth')

OR

Route.put('/user/location-abc', 'UserController.updateLocation')
  .middleware('auth')
  .name('test')
  
Route.put('/user/location-abc', 'User/ProfileController.updateLocation')
  .middleware('auth')
  
Route.put('/user/location-abc', 'UserController.updateLocation')
  .middleware('auth')

Do you mean that method chain should break first rather than each argument and it's different from #7884?

[seiyab]

Answering "how", using a comment might help you as a workaround:

Route
  // Hey prettier, would you break here, please?
  .put('/user/location-abc','User/ProfileController.updateLocation')
  .middleware('auth')

But probably, you want prettier to format as you suggested without workaround.
I agree that outputs you expect look better and want prettier to get better heuristic.

(Though I'm interested in it, I don't intend to work on it as of now. Go ahead if someone want to work on it.)

Oops, probably duplicated? #14628

Showing the method in several lines is ugly and I don't understand why the expected behavior is this way. And for different situations, it seems that there are different formatting strategies. If they can be consistent, it will seem easier to understand.

Yes, I confirmed the duplicate, close this first.
