A workaround is to use Javascript config format .prettierrc.js instead of JSON config format .prettierrc: #131 (comment)

Nothing works for me.

Package manager: Yarn (berry, 3.6.x)
Node: 20.5.1
IDE: vscode, using the prettier-vscode extension

My working configuration (Prettier 2.8.8)

package.json

{
  "type": "module",
  "packageManager": "yarn@3.6.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports": "^4.2.0",
    "prettier": "^2.8.8"
  }
}

.prettierrc.cjs

/** @type {import("prettier").Config} */
module.exports = {
  plugins: [require("@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports")],
  singleQuote: false,
  jsxSingleQuote: false,
  arrowParens: "always",
  trailingComma: "all",
  bracketSameLine: false,
  importOrder: ["^node:", "^(?![./]).*$", "^[./]"],
  importOrderSeparation: true,
  importOrderSortSpecifiers: true,
};

After upgrading: Prettier 2.8.8 -> Prettier 3.0.3, Yarn 3.6.0 -> Yarn 3.6.3

prettier cli (works)

$ yarn prettier --version
3.0.3
$ yarn prettier -w ./src/main.mts
src/main.mts 158ms

Things I've tried

1. plugins: ["@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports"] (without the require()):

   prettier cli

   $ yarn prettier -w ./src/main.mts
   [error] Cannot find package '@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports' imported from /home/peelz/path/to/project/noop.js
   

   The error is the same with JSON config formats.

2. plugins: [(await import("@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports")).default] in .prettierrc.mjs/.prettierrc.js:

   prettier cli

   $ yarn prettier -w ./src/main.mts
   [warn] Ignored unknown option { importOrder: ["^node:", "^(?![./]).*$", "^[./]"] }.

   This issue is tracked here: Cannot use import in prettier.config.js with Prettier v3 and ESM prettier/prettier-vscode#3066
   Some people suggest using plugins: ["plugin-name"] instead of require()/import(), but as you can see, that doesn't work (see 1.)

this solution works for me #245 (comment)

[well1791]

this solution works for me #245 (comment)

// .prettierrc
plugins: ['@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports']

[LucasHBG]

This issue still remains in prettier 3.1.1
I tried:

• Using .prettierrc
• Changing from .prettierrc to .prettierrc.js
• Changing from .prettierrc to .prettierrc.config.js
• Tried to add it in plugins with the solution from Prettier > 3 doesn't work #245 (comment) , require() and import().

but none seems to work

[dinumihnea]

this solution works for me #245 (comment)

// .prettierrc
plugins: ['@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports']

Thank you a lot, saved my day.
This should be in the Readme.
