VSCode: Prettier does not work with Dart Flutter

I am using Dart and Node.js. I tried to auto format Node.js with Prettier. However, VSCode auto formats Dart file but it does not format JavaScript with Prettier.

enter image description here

Under the screen, it says Prettier on JavaScript. When I touch the setting and set it to Prettier for auto format, Prettier works and it auto format JS files but Dart auto format does not work.

How can I set VSCode to auto format Dart and JS files without switching settings everytime?

VSCode Setup

{
    "workbench.colorTheme": "Visual Studio Dark",
    "[dart]": {
        "editor.formatOnSave": true,
        "editor.formatOnType": true,
        "editor.rulers": [
            80
        ],
        "editor.selectionHighlight": false,
        "editor.suggest.snippetsPreventQuickSuggestions": false,
        "editor.suggestSelection": "first",
        "editor.tabCompletion": "onlySnippets",
        "editor.wordBasedSuggestions": false
    },
    "workbench.preferredHighContrastColorTheme": "Default Dark+",
    "files.autoSave": "afterDelay",
    "editor.minimap.enabled": false,
    "dart.openDevTools": "flutter",
    "explorer.confirmDragAndDrop": false,
    "[javascript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    }
}

!!!! Solution

"editor.defaultFormatter": "Dart-Code.dart-code",

You need to add this line to setting.json Dart part. And then set your default formatter to Prettier!

Don't set Prettier as VS Code's global default formatter. Set to only be the default formatter where Javascript is concerned. Open your settings JSON and add the following:

{
  ...
  "[javascript]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
  },
  "[jsonc]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
  },
  "[json]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
  }
}
