# Description of Changes When I added Prettier formatting in #6052, my aim was to use just the default settings in Prettier. Turns out, Prettier looks _really hard_ for any config files if it's not explicitly given one, which means that if a developer has some sort of Prettier config file lying around on their system, Prettier might find it and use it. Also, Prettier changes its defaults based on stuff in `.editorconfig` without any good way of disabling that behaviour explicitly in its config file. To solve both of these issues, I've introduced a `.prettierrc` file which sets Prettier's defaults explicitly, and then reformatted all our code _again_ in Prettier's actual default settings. This should achieve the aim of #6052 and remove the possibility for it breaking on different dev computers.
