Being able to disable deno format (to use Prettier instead)

[MaximeBernard]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I have a monorepo (react/node with yarn workspaces) and one package is a deno app. I use some prettier config at the root folder and I'd like to use the same settings for my deno app.

Deno seems to be against a config file that and @lucacasonato suggested I could use prettier instead.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like a way to tell my vscode to stop using deno fmt

Bonus: if I could tell the extension to use prettier instead, that would be awesome (but I understand it's way more complex and brings a lot more questions/issues that you don't want to deal with)

Just install the Prettier extension and switch your default formatter to prettier. The deno extension doesn't force the use of deno fmt.

Thank you 🙏

Had the Prettier extension installed already but it wouldn't work and I had no idea why.

For those looking:

• Open Command Palette...(Cmd+Shift+P)
• Select Format Document With...
• Select Configure Default Formatter...
• Select Prettier - Code formatter

It's actually obvious once you know.

What if you don't have prettier installed in node_modules? Because you use Deno, not Node?

Attempted to load Prettier module from c:\Marc\work\njinz
["ERROR"] Failed to load module. If you have prettier or plugins referenced in package.json, ensure you have run npm install
Cannot find module 'prettier' from ./

That would be a question for the prettier extension people.
