Hi. I'm learning emacs since few days and I want to use my project's
prettier.rc for editing jsx/js files. I am unable to find a solution
after struggling for 2 days. I need help.

Are you saying you want to use prettier, from within Emacs, to format
your file on save?

Or are you saying you're already using prettier-js in Emacs and it is
not obeying your prettierrc file?

I have installed prettier-js and it is not obeying my project's
prettier.rc file. Should I add any config to .emacs file? I also tried
add-node-to-path which seems to do it but doesn't work in my case. I'm
using vanilla Emacs latest version on windows 10

Hmm ok, I run prettier-js on Linux so I am not sure how much I can
help.

But I did notice that prettier-js on windows requires diff installed.
Have you installed that?

Also you keep saying prettier.rc but looking at prettier docs, that
doesn't seem to be a supported file name. Could that be the issue?

Thanks. Somehow adding this package [https://github.com/jscheid/pretti
er.el](https://github.com/jscheid/prettier.el) worked. Well atleast a
good start for me.
