Can't get correct autoformat on save in Visual Studio Code with ESLint and Prettier

Question

in Visual Studio Code with ESLint and Prettier when working on .vue files, it seems I can\'t get vue/max-attributes-per-line to auto-fix correctly.

For example, with vue

Answer 1

Short answer: I needed: "editor.formatOnSave": false, "javascript.format.enable": false.

I finally found the magical combination of settings, thanks to this thread from Wes Bos on Twitter. I was right in my suspicion that there seem to be multiple conflicting formatters. Though I'm not sure what they actually are, I was able to turn off all but eslint as follows:

In the VS Code settings, I need:

  "editor.formatOnSave": false,
  "javascript.format.enable": false,
  "eslint.autoFixOnSave": true,
  "eslint.alwaysShowStatus": true,
  "eslint.options": {
    "extensions": [ ".html", ".js", ".vue", ".jsx" ]
  },
  "eslint.validate": [
    { "language": "html", "autoFix": true },
    { "language": "vue", "autoFix": true },
    { "language": "javascript", "autoFix": true },
    { "language": "javascriptreact", "autoFix": true }
  ]

In .eslintrc.js, then I can use the settings in my original post and then also change 'vue/max-attributes-per-line' as desired. Then VS Code's ESLint plugin will format code one step at a time on every save, much as kenjiru wrote. One last snag: HMR won't pick up these changes, so rebuild from scratch.
