lerna repair does not respect prettier configuration

[ndrone-kr]

• I'd be willing to implement this feature (contributing guide)

Description

Currently my teams package.json files are using an indent of 4 spaces. When running lerna repair it reconfigures the root project.json to use 2 spaces. It would be nice if we were able to control the indent spacing within the lerna.json file.

Motivation

So teams that have different spacing in their package.json files remain untouched.

Suggested Implementation

ability to set indent within lerna.json file

{
    indent: 2
}

Alternate Implementations

or via a flag --indent=2

Hi @ndrone-kr, do you happen to be using Prettier in your repo? Lerna will detect an installed prettier configuration and automatically run it on the files that it updates with lerna repair to ensure that workspace formatting rules are respected. If you are using prettier and want to ignore package.json, you can add it to the .prettierignore file (https://prettier.io/docs/en/ignore.html)

I am using prettier. Let me update the .prettierignore and run some tests. Thanks for the info

[ndrone-kr]

After updating the .prettierignore file adding package.json then running lerna repair it still updated the package.json file back to an indent of 2.

Thanks for following up @ndrone-kr . I've recreated the issue. It looks like prettier config is not being properly respected during the repair command. I'm looking into a fix.
