import format from 'eslint-plugin-format'

export default [
  // ...other flat configs

    files: ['**/*.css'],

      parser: format.parserPlain,
    },
    plugins: {
      format,
    },
    rules: {
      'format/prettier': ['error', { parser: 'css', tabWidth: 2 }],
    },
  },

FAQ

What's the difference between this and eslint-plugin-prettier?

While this plugin provides Prettier as one of the formatters, the main difference is that eslint-plugin-prettier is much more opinionated toward the Prettier CLI ecosystem. While this plugin only treats Prettier as the side-effects-free formatter and gives you full control in ESLint.
