I recently discovered the awesome Format Files VS Code extension that allows you to format all files in your workspace. Typically you would need to open each file in Visual Studio Code and run the Format Document command manually, but with this extension you can format all files with a single command. This allows you to easily ensure all files are formatted consistently. This is especially useful if you have a large codebase and change your code formatting settings. e.g. changing your .editorconfig or .prettierrc settings, or modifying your VS Code code formatting settings.

The extension still needs to manually open each file in the editor and apply the formatting, so it can take a little while to run, but it sure beats doing it manually. I hope you find this extension as helpful as I have.

Happy coding!
