Disabling Prettier in VSCode for a Specific Project

Prettier is a popular code formatter that helps developers maintain consistent code style across projects. However, there might be instances where you want to disable or bypass Prettier in particular projects, especially if it conflicts with your project's configurations, like ESLint settings. In this guide, we'll discuss how to effectively disable Prettier in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) for a specific project without needing to turn off the extension globally.

The Issue at Hand

You may have faced a situation where you need to disable Prettier for one project while still using it for others. For instance, you created a .prettierrc file with an empty configuration (i.e., {}), expecting it to disable Prettier's formatting entirely. Unfortunately, that doesn't work as anticipated. Additionally, while you can deactivate the Prettier plugin from VSCode, doing so will affect all your projects that rely on it for consistent formatting.

Fortunately, there’s a straightforward solution to this problem: using the .prettierignore file.

Solution: Using .prettierignore

Step-by-Step Instructions

Create a .prettierignore file:

In the root directory of the project where you want to disable Prettier, create a new file named .prettierignore.

Add the ignore pattern:

Inside the .prettierignore file, add the following line:

[[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]]

This pattern will tell Prettier to ignore all files in the project directory.

What This Achieves

Complete Bypass for Prettier: By setting ** in the .prettierignore file, you ensure that Prettier completely ignores all files within your project.

Preserve Prettier for Other Projects: Since this change applies only to the project with the .prettierignore file, you can still use and benefit from Prettier in your other projects.

Additional Considerations

Use with ESLint: If you're using ESLint in the project, this approach allows you to configure ESLint to handle formatting without interference from Prettier. You can set up ESLint's rules according to your project's requirements, ensuring that consistent styling is achieved while avoiding conflicts.

Conclusion

Disabling Prettier for a specific project in VSCode is simple and effective using the .prettierignore file. This method gives you the flexibility to maintain different code formatting styles tailored to individual projects without affecting your overall workflow. Next time you find yourself needing to turn off Prettier for a specific project, just create a .prettierignore file and your problem will be resolved.

Now you can focus more on writing quality code, rather than worrying about formatting issues!
