Is there a way to format all files in a project without formatting each one individually?

You can use an extension called ”Format Files”.

”Use: Open command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) & enter "Format Files" Create keybinding to 'editor.action.formatFiles' command. Right-click a workspace folder and select 'Format Files' to format all files in directory.”
