error

If you go through the Prettier's Prose Wrap documentation, you can see that it
provides 3 options, that is

- `"always"` - Wrap prose if it exceeds the print width.
- `"never"` - Do not wrap prose.
- `"preserve"` - Wrap prose as-is. (First available in v1.9.0)

Now, this does not exactly give a clear idea on what each feature does, and it
could be a little confusing especially between the `"never"` and `"preserve"`
options.

In the below video we walk you through these options and tries to get you a
clear idea on Prettier's Prose Wrap and its use-case.
