Biome

What is Biome?

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

Why Should you Use Biome?

Itโ€™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.

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 youโ€™re interested in understanding whatโ€™s going on, I would suggest delving into the GitHub repo.
