Biome

What is Biome?

Essentially it’s an analyser, linter and and formatter. A bit like something that was popular for a while called, Rome. A lot like what we’re using to seeing in projects with something called, Prettier.

Why Should you Use Biome?

It’s fast! It also integrates very nicely within applications, whether you chose to use VSCode or add it in as a dependency into your project.

How to Set Up

Here are a few ways you can set up Biome.

In the Editor

Further Reading

The docs do a great job of describing the underlying structure of everything and what makes it different from Prettier, gets exactly to the point. If you’re interested in understanding what’s going on, I would suggest delving into the GitHub repo.
