Custom Prettier Resolution

See original GitHub issue

Instead of needing to have prettier installed in your current folder’s node_modules directory it’d be nice to have the option to specify where you’d like the extension to look for your prettier installation. Resolution strategy would be as follows:

If “prettier.path” is defined try to use that.
See if there’s a copy in the current directory’s node_modules folder.
Use a copy of prettier bundled with the installation.

The issue I ran into: I’m using yarn workspaces and it hoists dependencies if they’re shared between different workspaces. Because of this my prettier installation isn’t in the individual workspace’s node_modules folder. It’d be nice to have the ability to set the following in my .vscode/settings.json file:

"prettier.path": "../../node_modules/prettier"

Thoughts?

Is there any workaround at the moment? Using lerna and prettier gets hoisted. Im suspecting this is why VS code does not apply prettier on save.
