I have set tabstop to 4.

But when I use prettier, it defaults my indentations to 2 spaces.

How do I change this?

I am using the coc prettier extension.

const thing = () => {

    var hi = 1;  //tabstop does this
  var hi2 = 2;   // prettier formats to this

}

  • Configure prettier to use 4 spaces (?) or :setlocal tabstop=2 maybe?

  • I guess the question is how to configure coc prettier to do that. I have read through the docs and I am struggling to understand how to accomplish that,

  • For anyone who cares, the missing piece for me was "where" to add the settings. Turns out you need to add the prettier settings to the coc-settings.json file. Thanks, Ben for your support.

For anyone who is facing a similar issue, when you use the prettier extension via coc-prettier, you need to put the configuration options inside the coc-settings.json file.

To solve my issue of prettier tab spaces, I added this:

"prettier.tabWidth": 4
