How to have all files use tabs as indentation?

Issue

I'm using Angular and would like to use tab indentation (size 4), rather than the 2-space indentation at default. However, there seems to be no effective way of doing this, other than manually using the following method EVERY time I generate a new file.

Solution

You can use prettier. https://til.hashrocket.com/posts/498b012fbd-run-prettier-on-all-javascript-files-in-a-dir

You just need to set the options to use 4 spaces and then run it on all your files.
