Feature: enable JsPrettier only if prettier is in package.json

[alexkuz]

It would be nice to have an option that will allow auto_format_on_save only when prettier is in package dependencies, so there's no need to setup .sublime-project for each project.

Hi @alexkuz, thanks for the suggestion. Though I would argue that the majority of JsPrettier users have Prettier installed globally (e.g.: npm install -g prettier), and introducing such a feature would add quite a bit of complexity (and side-affects) attempting to determine the intention of the plug-in, in out- of-scoped configurations.

Well, globally installed prettier is what causing this problem. With the current plugin I can never use auto_format_on_save=true globally (or locally - if I can't add .sublime-project to the package).

Just for the reference - SublimeLinter has a similar setting in node_linter, that is disabled by default but uses package.json when enabled:

To clarify, are you saying that the auto_format_on_save does not work at all for you?

[alexkuz]

No, it works just fine - what I mean is that it works for any js file (obviously) if I set it globally. And if I set globally auto_format_on_save=false, I can't enable it for a particular project without adding .sublime-project file (which can be an issue if I don't own that project, for example).
