Description

Biome formats ternaries differently from Prettier, but it's not mentioned in the docs
Biome doesn't support Prettier's experimental ternaries and that should be mentioned in the differences doc

Diff 1: new brackets in JSX

Diff 2: Question mark is on the "true" line instead of the "condition" line

What difference are you talking about? Unfortunately you haven't provided any snippets, so it's difficult to get some context

Oh, sorry, I thought it's just a doc oversight for a conscious decision that you would know about. Added examples to the description

It seems not an intended difference but a compatibility issue with Prettier. Could you file an issue in https://github.com/biomejs/biome with a playground link?

[Faithfinder]

Ah. Apparently this is due to experimentalTernaries prettier option. Since playground doesn't allow for changing prettier config, I can't do that, but also, seems like it's not necessarily an issue? I'm sure Biome team knows about "experimenal" options?

[Faithfinder]

Which brings me back to it being a doc problem - "Experimantal Prettier options aren't supported" should be mentioned in the docs page

[siketyan]

I think we are open to add an option even if it's experimental, so adding something like "some of Prettier options are not supported yet" is appropriate here?

[Faithfinder]

You weren't open a year ago =P biomejs/biome#3359

At this point I don't have a stake in this anymore :) I've found out what the problem is, and I've made you aware

[siketyan]

Ah sorry, I wasn't aware the discussion. Indeed implementing an experimental thing is a bit risky, but at least we're not against completely, I believe.

[ematipico]

Closing the issue because the prettier differences are more about default formatting, and not about options.

The option is still experimental, and it it isn't, it should be implemented.
