Could you add a script to package.json (perhaps format would be an appropriate alias) so that npm run format would just format the appropriate files for me? Refer: https://prettier.io/docs/en/cli.html

@bismitaguha I just noticed your Zulip message. If you didn't understand what I commented here on GitHub, please do reply here itself so that I can keep a proper tab on the work.

Elaborating my earlier comment: we have scripts in npm, right? We run it by using npm run <script_name>. So I want you to add a script called format, that when you run npm run format, it automatically uses prettier to format all the files that are used for development.

For example, here's a format script I've used in a repo I maintain:

{
  // ...
  "scripts": {
    "format": "prettier --write \"**/*.{css,ts,tsx,js,jsx,json}\""
  },
  // ...
}

Running npm run format will then format all the css, ts, tsx, js, jsx and json files in the repository for me.

Note: the above was just an example, please don't use it directly.

Closing this, so another contributor can continue this work :)
