# Configuration overrides

Sometimes you need to override some settings. It should be used
sparingly as custom style settings runs counter to the goal of a
consistent style.

Never-the-less. It can be done.

## General

We defer to the local configuration files for each tool, so
customizations there will be respected when running `d2-style`.

## Prettier

In your project you should have a `.prettierrc.js` file if you used the
`install` command to set up `d2-style`. In it, you can add any custom
options _after_ the `...require(config.prettier)` line. For example to
have semi colons enabled:

```js
const { config } = require('./index.js')

module.exports = {
    ...require(config.prettier),
    semi: true,
}
```

## ESLint

Similar to Prettier, you should have a `.eslintrc.js` file in your
project that you can customize.

E.g. to use another parser, in this case the TypeScript ESLint parser:

```js
const { config } = require('./index.js')

module.exports = {
    extends: [config.eslint],

    env: {
        es6: true,
    },

    parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser',
}
```

Or, if you want to customize the rules, you can enable and disable rules in your local config as well:

```js
const { config } = require('./index.js')

module.exports = {
    extends: [config.eslint],

    rules: {
        // This enables the built-in no-await-in-loop-rule, notifying you with an eslint error
        'no-await-in-loop': 'error',

        // This enables the 'first' rule of the eslint import plugin, a plugin that ships with
        // cli-style, notifying you with a warning on any imports that aren't at the top
        'import/first': 'warning',
    },
}
```
