Configuring VS Code to format Astro files with Prettier
There's an Astro extension for VS Code that provides syntax highlighting, completion and emmet support, but as of April 2022 it doesn't support auto-formatting.
There's a prettier plugin for Astro. We can install that and then configure VS Code to run Prettier when we save a file.
Installing prettier
Let's start by installing prettier
and the Astro plugin into our project:
npm install -D prettier prettier-plugin-astro
