This means you can configure prettier via (in order of precedence): -- A `.prettierrc` file, written in YAML or JSON, with optional extensions: `.yaml/.yml/.json`. -- A `.prettierrc.toml` file, written in TOML (the `.toml` extension is _required_). -- A `prettier.config.js` or `.prettierrc.js` file that exports an object. - A `"prettier"` key in your `package.json` file. +- A `.prettierrc` file, written in JSON or YAML, with optional extensions: `.json/.yaml/.yml` (without extension takes precedence). +- A `.prettierrc.js` or `prettier.config.js` file that exports an object. +- A `.prettierrc.toml` file, written in TOML (the `.toml` extension is _required_). The configuration file will be resolved starting from the location of the file being formatted, and searching up the file tree until a config file is (or isn't) found.
