Update README to show more options for disabling and overrides (#165)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The new feature of disabling with empty array can do more than just
disabling globally and enabling for certain folders or files. It can do
the opposite: enabling globally and disabling for certain folders or
files. It can also do sort order overrides, where a different order
applies to certain folders and files instead of the global order.

Feel free to suggest a rewrite of the text if needed. 🙂 I have used the
reverse configuration in an actual project and it works well:

```jsonc
// .prettierrc
{
  "plugins": ["@ianvs/prettier-plugin-sort-imports"],
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": "please/doNot/sortThis.ts",
      "options": {
        "importOrder": [] // disabled
      }
    }
  ],
  "importOrder": [ /* global order here */ ]
  //...
}
```

Tip: The `overrides` order can come before or after the global
`importOrder`. It doesn't matter as Prettier will always apply the
override regardless of where it is in `.prettierrc`.

If you'd like to sort the imports only in a specific set of files or directories, you can disable the plugin by setting `importOrder` to an empty array, and then use Prettier's [Configuration Overrides](https://prettier.io/docs/en/configuration#configuration-overrides) to set the order for files matching a glob pattern.

You can also do this in reverse, where the plugin is enabled globally, but disabled for a set of files or directories in the overrides configuration. It is also useful for setting a different sort order to use in certain files or directories instead of the global sort order.
