biome linting formatting javascript tooling

Biome v1 ships formatter options and lint command

JSX quote styles, arrow function parentheses control, and a dedicated `biome lint` command reduce formatter noise and configuration boilerplate.

June 9, 2026

Summary

Splitting lint from format operations lets you run lighter checks in CI pipelines. New formatter options eliminate quote/paren style debates without third-party plugins. Configuration composition via `extends` scales multi-team setups.

Why it matters

Implementation verdict

Replaces prettier configuration for quote/paren handling in JavaScript projects. Requires `npm install --save-exact @biomejs/biome@1.0.0`. Worth adopting now if you're already on Biome; migration cost is low (config file updates). Breaking CLI changes require reading changelog before upgrade.
