Prettier is a utility for VS Code that helps with code formatting. It automatically formats your code to ensure consistency and readability. It supports multiple programming languages and has configurable rules to customize the formatting style. You can find more information and examples on the official Prettier website: https://prettier.io/

To install Prettier on your Windows computer, follow the below steps:

1. Open your terminal (PowerShell, Command Prompt, or Git Bash).
2. Install Node.js and npm (Node.js package manager) by going to https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and downloading the installer for your machine.
3. Once you've downloaded and installed Node.js and npm, verify that they are both installed by running the following commands in your terminal: node -v npm -v
4. The above commands verify that both Node.js and npm are installed.
5. Install Prettier globally by running the command below: npm install -g prettier
6. Verify that Prettier is installed by running the following command in your terminal: prettier --version This should display the version number of the Prettier installed on your computer.

To set Prettier as a default formatter for your editor, you need to install the Prettier extension for your editor and configure your editor to use Prettier as the default formatter.

Here's an example of how to set up Prettier as the default formatter for Visual Studio Code:

1. Install the Prettier extension for VS Code.

2. Open the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows, Linux) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac).

3. Search for "Preferences: Open User Settings" and select it.

4. In the search bar of the settings window, type "formatter".

5. Under "Editor: Default Formatter", select "esbenp.prettier-vscode".

Now, whenever you save a file, Prettier will format it automatically based on your preferred settings. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Alt+F to format the current file.

Note: These steps may vary slightly depending on your editor and the Prettier extension you're using.

It's possible that Prettier is not installed in VS Code or that the VS Code extension is not enabled. You can check if Prettier is installed by typing prettier -v in your terminal. If it's not installed, you can install it with the following command:

bash
 
 
Copy code
npm install --save-dev --save-exact prettier

After that, you can enable the Prettier extension by going to the Extensions tab in VS Code (shortcut Ctrl + Shift + X) and searching for "prettier". Make sure it's installed and enabled.

If you're still having trouble after trying these steps, please provide more information about your specific problem.

To make sure that Prettier is displaying at the bottom of your Visual Studio Code window, you can try the following steps:

1. Install the Prettier - Code formatter extension in Visual Studio Code.
   • You can do this by going to the Extensions view (Ctrl + Shift + X) and searching for "prettier". Then click the Install button.
2. Open your Visual Studio Code settings.
   • You can do this via the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and searching for "Preferences: Open Settings (JSON)".
3. Add the following line to your settings.json file: "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
4. Save the settings.json file.
5. Open a file that is compatible with Prettier and try to format it to see if it's working.

Here is an example of how your settings.json file should look like after adding the above line:

json
 
 
Copy code
{
    ...
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    ...
}

I hope this helps!

To use Prettier in Visual Studio Code, you need to ensure that the Prettier extension is installed. You can check if it's installed by following these steps:

1. Open Visual Studio Code
2. Press Ctrl + Shift + X or click on the extension icon on the left navigation bar
3. In the “Extensions Marketplace” search bar, search for “Prettier - Code formatter”

If it is already installed and you still cannot find it:

1. Check if the extension is enabled - Press Ctrl + Shift + P and search for "Prettier: Enable/Disable", and make sure it's enabled.

2. Verify the configuration settings - Press Ctrl + Space to open up a new Terminal, paste the JSON file below, and press enter.json { "printWidth": 80, "editor.formatOnSave": true } This will set your editor.formatOnSave setting to 'true' and allow Prettier to format your code on save.

If you're still having issues after trying these steps, feel free to check out the Prettier documentation at https://prettier.io/docs/en/index.html or the VSCode documentation at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/codebasics.

There may be several reasons why your Prettier formatter is not working even after restarting Visual Studio. Here are some troubleshooting tips that may help:

• Make sure the Prettier extension is installed: You can check for installed extensions by clicking on the Extensions button on the left bar of Visual Studio Code (VS Code). Search for "prettier" and make sure it is installed.
• Check your VS Code settings: Sometimes, the settings in VS Code may conflict with Prettier. Go to File > Preferences > Settings, search for "prettier" and make sure the settings are correct.
• Check for conflicts with other extensions: Other extensions may be conflicting with Prettier, causing it not to work correctly. Try disabling other extensions to see whether that resolves the issue.
• Reinstall the Prettier extension: If all else fails, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Prettier extension.

Here's an example of how to reinstall the Prettier extension in VS Code:

javascript
 
 
Copy code
1. Click on the Extensions button on the left bar of VS Code
2. Search for "prettier" and click on "Uninstall"
3. Once it's uninstalled, restart VS Code
4. Go back to the Extensions panel and search for "prettier" again
5. Click on "Install" to reinstall the extension
6. Once it's installed, restart VS Code again

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to seek additional technical support or consult online resources.

It is likely that your HTML code has an unclosed <div> or <body> tag. You can use a code editor, like Visual Studio Code (VSCode), to inspect your HTML file to identify and fix the closing tag issues.

There are several extensions you can add-in to your Visual Studio Code (VSCode). Here are a few of the most popular ones:

• Prettier - Automatically formats code.
• Live Server - Automatically creates a live server to preview your HTML/CSS/JS files.
• GitLens - Offers several tools to help you with Git integration.
• Node.js Modules Intellisense - Autocompletes Node.js modules in your code.
• ESLint - Automatically checks your code for potential errors.

Each of these extensions will add specific features to your VSCode. You can read up on what each does, and decide which ones might best fit your programming needs.

To change the colors of Prettier in VSCode, you can change the following settings in the settings.json file. To open the settings.json file, press Ctrl/CMD + ,:
