      },
      "then": {
        "oxc.enable": true,
        "[javascript][typescript][javascriptreact][typescriptreact]": {
          "editor.defaultFormatter": "oxc.oxc-vscode"
        }
      },
      "else": {
        "oxc.enable": false,
        "[javascript][typescript][javascriptreact][typescriptreact]": {
