Prettier cannot be opted out of

[muhamedkarajic]

Current Behavior

I remove the prettier library from my package.json as well as .prettierrc & .prettierignore however it does not work, when I do a command like npx nx g @nx/angular:library libs/my-lib its reappering again, even if I set up my config properly in the nx.json

    "@nx/angular:library": {
      "linter": "none",
      "unitTestRunner": "none",
      "skipFormat": true
    },

I understood that "skipFormat": true is not reformatting things? However thats not what I'm looking for, I want my team to use the default vscode formatter because that one is not as aggressive as prettier.

Any clue how to fix it?

Expected Behavior

I would expect there is a way to configure to use the vscode formatter instead of prettier and that all newly created documents are formatted with the formatter I choose, not the one Nx forces me to use.
