How to ignore quotes from being formatted by Prettier

Question

I have a code base with both single and double quotes all over the place. When I format my TS files all the single quotes are being converted to double quotes. I want prettier to ignore considering both single and double quotes alone and do rest of the formatting for TS files. Can anyone help? TIA

How are you using prettier? As part of ESLint or standalone? – Stpierre

I don't belive so. But what circumstances would you use single quotes, and which would you use double quotes? The rationale for prettier's approach seems solid to me. – Impenetrability

@AlexWayne I have a codebase where both the quotes are used randomly all over the place. Let's say in a file I'm having 1000loc I make changes to two lines and now when I format the file it converts all the single quotes in the file to double quotes. I want prettier to ignore doing it. – Greenback

The point of using prettier is to make that consistent. It may better to format the entire project with a single commit so that random app development changes aren't coming in along side formatting corrections in the same commits. – Impenetrability

Single quotes are required to print a JSON string into a HTML attribute in Jinja. So prettier-ignore must be used in this case I guess. – Maund
