If doing what @Simin Maleki mentioned does not solve it for you, there is a chance that your default formatter is not set:
File > Preferences > Settings > Search for "default formatter"
Make sure your Editor: Default Formatter field is not null but rather Prettier - Code formatter (esbenp.prettier-vscode) and that all the languages below are ticked. This fixed my issue.
STEP BY STEP WALKTHROUGH
Also make sure that your format on save is enabled:

Update, i just find the solution if anyone is having the same problem i have to add the following lines to user setting json

Press Ctrl+shift+p and type Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON). In that json file add the following line and save. This should enable so vscode formats the code each time you save.
{
"editor.formatOnSave": true
}
