Directions:

Install Prettier and TypeScript TSLint Plugin extensions on your VSCode
Edit (per your desire) the following on your VSCode settings 👇

{
  "editor.formatOnSave": false,
  "[javascript]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
  },
  "[typescript]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
  },
  "[typescriptreact]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
  },
  "prettier.tslintIntegration": true,
  "prettier.eslintIntegration": true,
  "prettier.jsxSingleQuote": false,
  "prettier.singleQuote": true,
}

npx create-react-app [project-name] --typescript
cd into [project-name]
Install the following dependecies to package.json 👇

yarn add --dev typescript 
yarn add @types/node @types/react @types/react-dom @types/jest
yarn add --dev tslint
yarn add --dev tslint-config-prettier
yarn add --dev tslint-plugin-prettier
yarn add --dev tslint-react

Create a tslint.json file with the following config 👇

{
  "extends": [
    "tslint:recommended",
    "tslint-react",
    "tslint-config-prettier"
  ],
  "rulesDirectory": [
    "tslint-plugin-prettier"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "prettier": true,
    "interface-name": false
  }
}

Create a .prettierrc file and add your desired rules i.e 👇

{
    "trailingComma": "es5",
    "printWidth": 100,
    "semi": false,
    "singleQuote": true
}

Quit and restart VSCode again

Note: tslint-config-prettier is shipped with a little CLI tool to help you check if your configuration contains any rules that are in conflict with Prettier. (require tslint installed
In order to execute the CLI tool, first add a script for it to package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "tslint-check": "tslint-config-prettier-check ./tslint.json"
  }
}

Then run yarn tslint-check or npm run tslint-check

You may also run TS lint directlly as a script on your package.json

"scripts": { 
     "lint": "tslint -c tslint.json src/**/*.{ts,tsx} --fix --format verbose"
 }

Then run yarn lint or npm run lint
