 Put formatting configuration directly in the `fmt` block in `vite.config.ts` so all your configuration stays in one place. We do not recommend using `.oxfmtrc.json` with Vite+.

-This gives the project a shared default formatter and enables Oxc-powered fix actions on save. The language-specific override blocks (`[javascript]`, `[typescript]`, etc.) are required because VS Code prioritizes user-level `[language]` settings over the workspace-level `editor.defaultFormatter` — without them, a global Prettier configuration would silently take over. Setting `oxc.fmt.configPath` to `./vite.config.ts` keeps editor format-on-save aligned with the `fmt` block in your Vite+ config. Vite+ uses `formatOnSaveMode: "file"` because Oxfmt does not support partial formatting.
