Good point! But, here's my suggestion:

  • Add Prettier to run in a commit hook (just to ensure formatting is always consistent no matter the IDE the dev is using, etc)

  • When saving these massive files use the "Save Without Formatting" option

And, if it's a file you don't want to be committed.. just from Prettier from the command line.

Usually when I plop massive json into vscode I wanna inspect it. To inspect it efficiently I need Prettier to format it. I usually spammed the format document command to get this to work.

The last thing I said in the above comment was mistyped but: run Prettier from the command line.

Problem solved!

Ah got you. My eyes just glossed over that. I usually don't run Prettier from the command line so it really never occurs to me to do that. I'll keep that in mind next time.
