Install

1. Install dprint's CLI
2. Install extension via Visual Studio Marketplace

Setup

1. Run dprint init in the root directory of your repository to create a dprint configuration file.
2. Set the default formatter in your vscode settings:

   {
     "editor.defaultFormatter": "dprint.dprint",
     // or specify per language
     "[javascript]": {
       "editor.defaultFormatter": "dprint.dprint"
     },
     "[typescript]": {
       "editor.defaultFormatter": "dprint.dprint"
     },
     "[json]": {
       "editor.defaultFormatter": "dprint.dprint"
     },
     "[jsonc]": {
       "editor.defaultFormatter": "dprint.dprint"
     },

     },
     "[rust]": {

Respects formatting on save:

  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  // or per language
  "[typescript]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
  },
  // By default it will use `dprint` found on the path,
  // but use this when you want to specify a custom location.
  // Include the executable name (ex. on windows "C:\\some-dir\\dprint.exe")
  "dprint.path": "/home/david/otherPath/dprint"
