How can I configure @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports to always place .css/.scss imports at the bottom?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm using @trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports to automatically sort imports in my React project, but I'm facing an issue with .css and .scss imports.

Specifically, I want imports ending in .css or .scss (that don’t start with ./) to always be moved to the bottom of the list. For example, consider these imports:

JAVASCRIPT
import { PublicClientApplication } from '@azure/msal-browser'; import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'; // this should be at the bottom import { StrictMode } from 'react'; import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client'; import App from './App'; import { msalConfig } from './auth-config.ts'; import './styles/index.css';

And here is my current .prettierrc configuration:

JSON
{ "printWidth": 80, "tabWidth": 2, "useTabs": false, "semi": true, "singleQuote": true, "trailingComma": "es5", "bracketSpacing": true, "arrowParens": "always", "importOrder": ["^@?\\w", "^@/", "^[./](?!.*\.(css|scss)$)", ".*\.(css|scss)$"], "importOrderSeparation": true, "importOrderSortSpecifiers": true, "plugins": ["@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports"] }

The issue is that import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'; is matched by the first regex (^@?\\w) and appears at the top, rather than at the bottom as intended by the .*\.(css|scss)$ rule. This is also why I excluded .css/.scss files from the third rule.

What configuration change can I make to ensure that non-local .css and .scss imports are always placed at the end?

To fix the ordering issue, you need to ensure that your rules for non-CSS imports explicitly exclude CSS/SCSS files. In your current configuration the first rule

"^@?\\w"

matches imports like 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css' because it doesn’t exclude CSS extensions. The solution is to add a negative lookahead to the problematic rules so that they won’t match when the import path ends in .css or .scss.

For example, update your .prettierrc with negative lookaheads on the first two rules:

JSON
{ "printWidth": 80, "tabWidth": 2, "useTabs": false, "semi": true, "singleQuote": true, "trailingComma": "es5", "bracketSpacing": true, "arrowParens": "always", "importOrder": [ "^(?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)@?\\w", "^(?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)@/", "^[./](?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)", ".*\\.(css|scss)$" ], "importOrderSeparation": true, "importOrderSortSpecifiers": true, "plugins": ["@trivago/prettier-plugin-sort-imports"] }

Explanation

  • The regex "^(?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)@?\\w" ensures that any import starting with an optional @ followed by a word character will only match if the string does not end with .css or .scss.
  • The same logic is applied to the second rule "^(?!.*\\.(css|scss)$)@/".
  • The third rule already excludes CSS/SCSS files.
  • The last rule, ".*\\.(css|scss)$", catches all CSS/SCSS imports and places them at the bottom.

This change ensures that an import like 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css' is matched by the CSS-specific rule and appears at the bottom of the list.

I came across this GitHub issue, which helped me resolve the problem.

"importOrder: ["^[./].*(?<!.(c|le|sc)ss)$", ".(c|le|sc)ss$"]

The use of the negative lookahead solved it. Hopefully it helps someone
