DR: Implement Prettier configurations to standardize code formatting

This is a record in the Decision Records on Solutions Not Implemented.

Issue

• Link to Epic
• ER: Codebase Formatting Standards

Problem Statement

Current code base does not currently have formatting standards enforced. This is deteriorating the health of the code by reducing readability, causing unnecessary diff changes, and increasing maintenance time.

Potential Solution

Implement the industry standard, Prettier formatting to the code base.

Feasibility Determination

The only action item that would require more attention would be the mega-diff needed when implementing the agreed upon formatting to the main branch of the project. Seeing as Prettier is widely adopted and is constantly updated, it is a safe solution to implement locally in our project.
