Prettier-vscode: Conflict with jsbeautify

[vjeux]

People keep complaining about this on twitter at a rate of one every few days, so it’s somewhat serious:

If you have both jsbeautify and prettier then the jsx format gets screwed up.

It would be nice to warn about it somehow so that people don’t get confused and blame it on prettier :)

I think these are all related.. #453 #452 and I guess the #444 is trying to address that..

Giving a warning within the extension would be nice, but it could be annoying if the other extension is actually installed but ignoring let's say the .js files.. quite a tricky one.. Obviously we don't want to suggest for uninstalling the other extensions completely..

@lipis Isn't prettier meant to be the definitive solution for formatting code? I certainly think it is and I don't want to have any other code formatting plugins alongside it because all of them are light years behind prettier. I know it sounds harsh, but tell me this-do you have any other code formatting extensions installed on your machine?

IMHO the title of this issue should be: Conflict with other plugins
beacause it's not just jsbeautify which is the problem.

I'm with you and yes I don't have any other formatters.. but letting the users know that there might be conflict is one thing.. and telling them to uninstall somebody else's hard work just doesn't seem right.

If you don't want to disable beautify, add this to your workspace or project config to make it ignore .js and .jsx files:

    "beautify.ignore": [
        "**/*.js",
        "**/*.jsx"
    ]

Perfect! Thanks a lot, I was just about to open this issue, because it was bothering me for more than one week already 😅 beautify.ignore works perfectly! 🙂

I think this one is solved in #444
