Small FYI if you want to install this wonderful plugin for every Elixir/Phoenix project:

  1. Install the prettier and prettier-plugin-eex npm packages globally with:
npm install -g prettier prettier-plugin-eex

  1. Make sure that you have the Prettier VSCode Extension installed.

  2. Find the global path to which npm installed your prettier package. These are some common paths:

# macOS
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/prettier

# unix
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/prettier

# Windows
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules/prettier
  1. Set that global path as a Prettier: Prettier Path either in your Settings under Extensions > Prettier > Prettier: Prettier Path or in your settings.json directly:
"prettier.prettierPath": GLOBAL_PATH
# e.g. "prettier.prettierPath": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/prettier"

Thank you @adamzapasnik for this great plugin!
