- BiomeJS is a new tool combining Prettier and ESLint functionalities into a single, high-performance solution.
- BiomeJS offers a code formatter and linter, built with Rust for speed and multi-threading, making it significantly faster than Prettier and ESLint.
- BiomeJS supports JavaScript and TypeScript but lacks full support for HTML, Markdown, SCSS, and frameworks like Vue, Astro, and Svelte.
- BiomeJS can be installed via NPM and used without a configuration file, simplifying setup.
- BiomeJS provides commands for formatting, linting, and checking code, with options for safe and unsafe fixes.
- BiomeJS integrates with code editors like VS Code, IntelliJ, and Zed, offering real-time linting and formatting.
- Configuration in BiomeJS is done via a biome.json file, with options to migrate settings from Prettier and ESLint.
- BiomeJS allows ignoring specific lines or files from linting or formatting using comments or configuration settings.
- BiomeJS can be integrated into CI workflows and pre-commit hooks to enforce code standards.
- While BiomeJS offers performance and simplicity, it may not yet fully replace Prettier and ESLint for all file types and configurations.
