I wouldn't do it without an auto formatter. With prettier it will catch potential no semi colon issues.

You absolutely have to use prettier with JS. I don't think there is auto adding missing semicolons in C/C++ though, it would be very useful.

I tried prettier and I thought it was literally making my code uglier. It's eslint --fix for me.
