VsCode not formatting TS/JS files with single quotes

Question

After one of the latest updates to VS Code, when pressing Ctrl+Shift+F In windows, it is auto formattig all of my code with double instead of single quotes despite my setting it to only use single quotes.

Here is my settings file:

{
"[typescript]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
},
"typescript.updateImportsOnFileMove.enabled": "always",
"[javascript]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
},
"atlascode.jira.workingSite": {
    "baseUrlSuffix": "atlassian.net"
},
"yaml.schemas": {
    "file:///c%3A/Users/kevin/.vscode/extensions/atlassian.atlascode-2.1.5/resources/schemas/pipelines-schema.json": "bitbucket-pipelines.yml"
},
"window.zoomLevel": -1,
"[html]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
},
"git.autofetch": true,
"javascript.preferences.quoteStyle": "single",
"typescript.preferences.quoteStyle": "single",
"prettier.jsxSingleQuote": true,
"prettier.singleQuote": true

}

Is anyone else dealing with this?

Thanks!!!

From your settings file, it seems like you are using prettier for code formatting. In the latest updation, prettier changed reading configuration from common settings file to a dedicated file for prettier settings. You can configure prettier via many options they've provided.

https://prettier.io/docs/en/configuration.html

Example (JSON):

Create .prettierrc file, written in JSON or YAML, with optional extensions: .json/.yaml/.yml (without extension takes precedence).

.prettierrc

{
  "singleQuote": true
}

Then provide absolute path of .prettierrc file in settings.json (vscode settings file).

settings.json

...
"prettier.configPath": "./.prettierrc"
...

Hope this helps!
