Prettier Extension adding double brackets to if statement

Question

I have my Prettier extension set to make my code prettier on save. It works amazing 99% of the time...

However:

If I type

If (x = 14) {};

my prettier extension in VsCode will change it to

if ((x=14)) {};

which will cause nothing to work. I have tried everything to fix this. Prettier is great, but this is so annoying, please help ...

It looks suspicious to me that you use single equal sign in the if statement. Are you sure you want to assign a value? Not sure why prettier uses double brackets though. It may be to highlight the unusual.
