Why does Prettier not format code in VS Code?
How I've sorted it after having super huge frustrations with Prettier stopping working in VSCode.
- Select
VS Code->View->Command Palette, and type:Format Document With - Then
Configure Default Formatter...and then choosePrettier - Code formatter.
This sorted the problem for me magically.
Depending on your case this might help you...
If doing what @Simin Maleki mentioned does not solve it for you, there is a chance that your default formatter is not set:
File > Preferences > Settings > Search for "default formatter" Make sure your Editor: Default Formatter field is not null but rather esbenp.prettier-vscode and that all the languages below are ticked. This fixed my issue.
STEP BY STEP WALKTHROUGH
Also make sure that your format on save is enabled:
Prettier could also format your files on save.
However, installing and enabling does not result in working.
You have to check "format on Save" in VSCode: Setting >> User >> Text Editor >> Formatting
