Config Files

Æsthetic supports configuration files for defining formatting rules, settings and other options. By default, Æsthetic assumes that configuration is provided within a package.json file.

Supported Files

You may prefer to keep formatting rules in an external file opposed using the default package.json method. Æsthetic provides support for the following external config files.

• .esthetic
• .esthetic.json

You can also use the CLI -c or --config flag to provide a custom configuration file and/or path location reference.

Ignoring Files

Ignoring files/directories from formatting is made possible using the exclude[] property within configuration files. Though discouraged, you may prefer to define exclusion patterns within an .estheticignore file.

• .estheticignore

Configuration

The CLI will check for existence of supported files before assuming package.json definitions to determine its point of control. Developers who are using JSON file configurations should consider providing the $schema store reference to files.
