# Setup Pre-Commit Hooks

Catch formatting, type and test slip-ups before the commit lands

## What this does

You keep spotting formatting slips and type mistakes after you have already committed them, when they are annoying to untangle. This sets up your current project so those checks happen at commit time instead: files get formatted, types get checked, and tests run. Reach for it when you want pre-commit hooks added to a project and would rather not piece the configuration together yourself.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Set up pre-commit hooks in this project
- Add commit-time formatting, type checks and tests
- Configure lint-staged with Prettier

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Setup Pre-Commit Hooks

Adds Husky pre-commit hooks to the repository you are working in, so checks run at commit time.

Formatting goes through lint-staged with Prettier, and type checking and tests run at commit time too, so one step covers formatting, types and tests before a commit goes in.

Use it when you want pre-commit hooks added, Husky set up, lint-staged configured, or formatting, type checking and testing wired into the commit itself.
