Specify the line length that the printer will wrap on. ... In code styleguides, maximum line length rules are often set to 100 or 120. However, when humans write code, they don’t strive to reach the maximum number of columns on every line.

You can add exception for specific regex. Prettier will have the lead for managing imports and exports, since it has a special way to deal with them.
// edit your tslint.json
"max-line-length": [
true,
{
"limit": 140,
"ignore-pattern": "^import |^export {(.*?)}"

It's a prettier feature: https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#print-width Prettier’s printWidth option does not work the same way (as max line length). It is not the hard upper allowed line length limit. It is a way to say to Prettier roughly how long you’d like lines to be. Prettier will make both shorter and longer lines, but generally strive to meet the specified printWidth. Also, in your case, it would be bad if prettier formatted the CLIENTID by inserting newlines thus changing the value. Configuring the IDE to wrap lines visually is the proper solution here.

If you use Git for version control, you will notice that your diffs are based on lines that have changed from one version to another. By breaking your tag attributes onto individual lines, it's much easier to see exactly what changed in a diff at a glance. More on reddit.com

Default 80 character line limit is too limiting · Issue #12424 · prettier/prettier
March 9, 2022 - And, we should not write JavaScript like we write C. If I have a variable called permission, I should not rename it to perm just to make sure I do not go beyond the 80 character line limit.

Understand setting line length limitations in Prettier.js
Prettier reformats code to wrap lines exceeding this limit, prioritizing readability while maintaining the specified constraint. Line length impacts code density and readability. Higher values (e.g., 120) reduce line breaks but may hinder readability on narrower screens.

80 characters per line of code in the codebase · prettier/prettier · Discussion #17232
Under normal conditions (no really long strings), 80 really is the hard max though. My finding was that at 80 I would often remove letters from variable names just to make the code format better, so I decided ultimately that 80 was too extreme ...

The printWidth option is more of a guideline to Prettier than a hard rule. It is not the upper allowed line length limit. It is a way to say to Prettier roughly how long you’d like lines to be.

The length of a line is defined as the number of Unicode characters in the line.

What is Prettier? · Prettier
Prettier enforces a consistent code style (i.e. code formatting that won’t affect the AST) across your entire codebase because it disregards the original styling* by parsing it away and re-printing the parsed AST with its own rules that take the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.

r/vscode on Reddit: Why does Prettier format code like this?
June 9, 2019 -
I've tried a couple of auto formatters, because I'm always forgetting to format things properly, and just want to make my life easier. However I always seem to run into a weird issue like this one:
<img
alt="My photo goes here"src="img/user.jpg"class="user-nav__user-photo"/>
Why does it format code like this? What's the point? It's not outside my VS code window, it's not even longer than the comment right above it, or even the span two lines above it. So what gives? I've never seen an image tag written this way. In case it doesn't show up, img is one one line, the attributes are all on separate lines, and the ending /> is also on a separate line.

Based on ESLint's docs, anything you include in rules take precedence over the rules inherited from extends, meaning you can change the rule's behavior partially or completely.
That means the max-len rule you specified is picked up over the max-len rule from eslint-config-prettier. You have to delete this rule from your config file and ESLint will stop complaining.

I didn't have such a rule in place, but experienced a similar issue, and found adding the following rule to .eslintrc.json did make the annoying line-length error go away:
"rules": { "@typescript-eslint/max-len": "ignore" }
