Solidity

Welcome to the prettier-config-solidity wiki!

The solidity versions taken into consideration during formatting are:

• v0.7.4: Versions prior 0.7.4 had a bug that would not interpret correctly imports unless they are formatted in a single line.

  // Input
  import { Foo as Bar } from "/an/extremely/long/location";
  // "compiler": undefined
  import { Foo as Bar } from "/an/extremely/long/location";
  // "compiler": "0.7.3" (or lesser)
  import { Foo as Bar } from "/an/extremely/long/location";
  // "compiler": "0.7.4" (or greater)
  import {
      Foo as Bar
  } from "/an/extremely/long/location";

• v0.8.0: Introduced these changes

  • The type byte has been removed. It was an alias of bytes1.
  • Exponentiation is right associative, i.e., the expression a**b**c is parsed as a**(b**c). Before 0.8.0, it was parsed as (a**b)**c.

  // Input
  bytes1 public a;
  byte public b;
  uint public c = 1 ** 2 ** 3;
  // "compiler": undefined
  // "explicitTypes": "never"
  bytes1 public a;
  bytes1 public b;
  uint public c = 1 ** 2 ** 3;
  // "compiler": "0.7.6" (or lesser)
  // "explicitTypes": "never"
  byte public a;
  byte public b;
  uint public c = (1**2)**3;
  // "compiler": "0.8.0" (or greater)
  // "explicitTypes": "never"
  bytes1 public a;
  bytes1 public b;
  uint public c = 1**(2**3);

You might have a multi-version project, where different files are compiled with different compilers. If that's the case, you can use overrides to have a more granular configuration:

{
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": "contracts/v1/**/*.sol",
      "options": {
        "compiler": "0.6.3"
      }
    },
    {
      "files": "contracts/v2/**/*.sol",
      "options": {
        "compiler": "0.8.4"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Default	CLI Override	API Override
None	--compiler <string>	compiler: "<string>"
