Plugin support?

Hi guys,

I’m curious if there is anything missing in prettier-vscode to support plugins. After locally installing prettier and prettier-plugin-elm (which I developed myself 😃 ), the plugin works from the command line, but not in the editor. In particular, pressing option+shift+f while editing a markdown file, does not format ```elm code blocks. Running yarn prettier same-file.md from the terminal does this job perfectly.

What could be causing the issue? Can it be that the way prettier is spawned does not let it search for prettier-plugin-* in node_modules?

UPD: Same issue in https://github.com/prettier/prettier-atom/issues/395 (even the same id 😄)

The latest versions of prettier-atom (>=0.55.0) finally use getFileInfo() to determine what files can be prettified and what not. This means that any prettier plugin is now supported in Atom 🎉 prettier-atom searches for the local version within a given project, then falls back to a globally installed one (npm install --global prettier prettier-plugin-XXX / yarn add --global prettier prettier-plugin-XXX) and if all this search has failed, picks prettier built into prettier-atom, which does not have any plugins attached. All works pretty nicely so far!

I’m sharing this because the new design of prettier-atom can serve as an inspiration for those who want to transform prettier-vscode. Most of the refactoring work was done in https://github.com/prettier/prettier-atom/pull/404.
