Beautification on particular files using the built in Format Document (which includes formatting on save) can be skipped with the beautify.ignore option. Using the Beautify file and Beautify selection will still work. For files opened from within the workspace directory, the glob patterns will match from the workspace folder root. For files opened from elsewhere, or when no workspace is open, the patterns will match from the system root.

Note that the glob patterns are not used to test against the containing folder. You must match the filename as well.

What can I do when a beautifier takes to much time formatting?

This section is for you if you are seeing the following error message in the developer console after running Format Document or similar:

Sometimes beautifiers are taking much time formatting your file, this can be caused by big files or many settings you have set for your beautifier, then you need to increase the VSCode editor.formatOnSaveTimeout option to give the beautifier more time formatting your file.

Just add this entry in your VSCode settings:

The time is set in milliseconds, in the example above 2000 is equal to 2 seconds

In addition to the other answers, it may be that you have to override or replace your defaultFormatter settings in your settings.json file if you use other formatters.

When I installed Prettier, for example, it installed as the default formatter for several different languages, including HTML, which is broken for Django HTML templates.

In my case, prettier had installed as default as follows, but you might have another formatter instead:

How to Beautify a JavaScript File in Visual Studio Code

In this post, we will look at how to beautify a JavaScript file in Visual Studio Code using the Beautify extension.

First, let’s create a really simple JavaScript file. We can see the function is on one line:

Search for and select Beautify:

Now, select CTRL + SHIFT + P or the View menu to bring up the Command Palette:

Search for Beautify and you will see:

On selecting this, our code is now beautified, with the function being displayed across multiple lines:

You can also configure this to run automatically when saving a file. To do this, go to File->Preferences->Settings:

Under Text Editor, select Format On Save.

Now when saving a file, it will be beautified.

My Beautify README

This extension designed to beautify Javascript code according to my syntax rules.

Features

Extension Settings

Order Imports command applies only on one line imports and stops when there is a line brake.

Constify command applies only if the declaration is at the beginning of a line and the equal sign is in the same line of the declaration.

Arrow Shot command does not work if there are two or more function declarations in the same line.

Loneline command does not work if the length of the new line will be higher than 135.

All comands does not apply when it will cause an error. For exsample if you call a function before initialize or if the function uses ‘this’, arrow shot command will not replace that with arrow function. So if some command does not work, make sure your code suitable to the changes you want.

I tried my best to calculate all errors That might happen during the fixes above and prevent it, and I hope everything was taken into account. Even so, there is no perfect code and if you find an error I would love to receive a feedback so I can try to fix it.

How to set a formatter in vscode for HTML and Jinja?

You could use beautify. It isn’t perfect, but it gets the job done.

After you installed it, add this to your settings.json file:

Now, it should work with Django template files.

For some reason I wasn’t able to get Daniel’s, beautify solution to work. Maybe because I’m using Prettier globally.

Here’s what worked for me:

There’s a project called Unibeautify that seems kind of like a «one ring to rule them all» for tying together personalized settings across different formatters and filetypes.

It has a VS Code extension, VSCode-Unibeautify.

After installing the extension, you need to create a config file and tell VS Code where to find it. You can create and customize your own config if you want to use it for multiple languages, but here’s what worked for me for Jinja:

and then, in your vscode settings:

This solution is powered by JS-Beautify which seems to work well with Jinja and powers Atoms atom-beautify extension, also by the same author of Unibeautify, Glavin001, a beautiful individual.

VS Code: вам не нужно это расширение, часть 2

От редакции TechRocks: первую часть статьи можно прочитать тут.

Существуют встроенные функции и настройки, которые могут стать заменой многим популярным расширениям. Возможно, очередное такое расширение вам не нужно!

«Лекарство от болезней часто в нас самих», — Вильям Шекспир

1. Обернуть выбранный HTML-код в тег

Иногда требуется обернуть блок HTML другим элементом при рефакторинге HTML-документа. Делать это вручную неудобно.

Было бы неплохо просто выделить блок и запустить команду, чтобы обернуть его нужными тегами.

Расширения

Настройка VS Code

2. Расцвечивание пар скобок

Стилизация пар совпадающих скобок может помочь определить область видимости в вашем коде. В частности, очень популярно раскрашивание скобок в зависимости от уровня их вложенности.

Довольно много расширений так или иначе выполняют эту работу.

Расширения

Настройка VS Code

VS Code представил собственную раскраску пар скобок в версии 1.6.0 (август 2021 г.). Это намного быстрее, чем любое из перечисленных расширений. Подробности можно почитать в посте «Bracket pair colorization 10,000x faster».

Свойство editorBracketHighlight.foreground1 относится к первому набору скобок, editorBracketHighlight.foreground2 — ко второму набору скобок и так далее. Кроме того, есть свойство editorBracketHighlight.unexpectedBracket.foreground для любых лишних скобок.

Настройки для раскраски пары скобок

Некоторые из вышеупомянутых расширений позволяют применять к скобкам больше стилей. Например, добавлять подчеркивание и контур. В настоящее время встроенная функция VS Code не предоставляет таких возможностей. Однако есть вероятность, что это будет добавлено в будущем, потому что алгоритм распознавания пар скобок работает по тому же принципу, что и подсветка синтаксиса. Будет ли это добавлено? Время покажет.

3. Раскрашивание направляющих отступов

Направляющие отступов – это вертикальные линии, обозначающие блоки вашего кода. Они помогают увидеть структуру кода. VS Code называет их «направляющими пар скобок» (bracket pair guides).

Расширения

Настройка VS Code

Начиная с версии 1.61 (сентябрь 2021 г.) редактор поддерживает цвета направляющих отступов. VS Code называет их «направляющими пар скобок». По умолчанию они используют те же цвета, что и функция раскраски пары скобок, о которой говорилось выше.

Как видно из примера ниже, цвета отступов по умолчанию приглушены и выглядят ненасыщенными.

Как видно из приведенного ниже примера, активная направляющая отступа отображается более насыщенным цветом.

Настройки направляющих отступов

4. Запуск и автоматизация скриптов (NPM, Gulp, Make и др.)

Большинство проектов требует выполнения таких задач, как линтинг, тестирование, сборка, упаковка и развертывание. В зависимости от типа проекта вы можете использовать разные инструменты для этого, такие как NPM, Grunt, Gulp, Make и т. д. Хотя это часто делается из командной строки, бывает удобно запустить некоторые из этих действий в редакторе без переключения контекста.

Расширения

Настройка VS Code

В VS Code существуют задачи (Tasks). Задачи могут быть настроены для запуска скриптов в VS Code с помощью палитры команд (command palette). Можно настроить способ их запуска, добавить к ним привязку клавиш, выполнять несколько скриптов в последовательности или запускать их автоматически при открытии рабочего пространства.

VS Code может автоматически находить скрипты для Gulp, Grunt, Jake и npm. Вы также можете запускать shell-скрипты, однако они не обнаруживаются автоматически.

Я вкратце покажу вам, как можно запускать скрипты NPM в виде задач. VS Code берет их из вашего package.json.

Задача сборки по умолчанию

Нажатие Ctrl + Shift + B или запуск команды «Run Build Task» покажет вам все автоматически обнаруженные задачи, из которых можно выбрать нужную. Что касается NPM, он сужает для вас этот список:

Обычно первый вариант — правильный.

Выполнение задачи

Вы можете запустить задачу с помощью команды Tasks: Run Tas k. Выведется список автоматически обнаруженных задач из вашей рабочей области и пользовательских задач, созданных вами.

Для своего проекта на JavaScript я выбираю npm и получаю список своих скриптов npm.

Выберите скрипт, и он запустится.

Автоматизировать задачи

Добавление сочетания клавиш для задачи

Если вы часто запускаете задачу, вы можете определить для нее сочетание клавиш.

Например, чтобы связать Ctrl + R с задачей запуска сервера разработки, нужно добавить следующее в файл keybindings.json:

Свойство args должно соответствовать значению label из tasks.json.

5. Форматирование кода

Правильное форматирование упрощает чтение кода и экономит вычислительные ресурсы вашего мозга.

Если вы используете много разных языков, вам понадобится какое-то расширение для форматирования, но при этом вы все равно можете использовать расширение, которое вам на самом деле не нужно. Выбор здесь не так очевиден, как в случаях, которые мы обсудили выше, это зависит от конкретных языков, которые вы используете. Давайте рассмотрим это более подробно.

Расширения

Настройка VS Code

VS Code имеет встроенные средства форматирования для HTML, JavaScript, TypeScript и JSON. Это достойная основа для фронтенд- и бэкэнд-разработчиков, ориентированных на JavaScript.

Вам может быть интересно, почему CSS и CSS-подобные синтаксисы отсутствуют в этом списке. Я не знаю. Однако я точно знаю, что разработчики VS Code не планируют добавлять такое в будущем. Как и в случае с другими языками, которых нет в этом списке, вам понадобится специфическое расширение для форматирования.

Хотя есть соблазн, в частности, у меня как у фронтенд-разработчика, просто установить Prettier, потому что он поддерживает несколько языков, здесь необходим какой-то компромисс. Я расскажу об этом в разделе «Другие языки» ниже.

Настройки для языков со встроенными форматтерами

Чтобы использовать встроенные средства форматирования, вы можете добавить следующие настройки:

Я пробовал их какое-то время и был приятно удивлен. VS Code использует js-beautify под капотом, который также используется расширением Beautify. Таким образом, от этого расширения вы можете ожидать аналогичных результатов. Ваш опыт может отличаться в зависимости от форматирования JSONC. Я не использую React, поэтому не могу комментировать, насколько хорошо форматируется код для него.

Есть более подробная информация о настройках форматирования HTML в документации.

Другие языки

Сложность с форматтерами заключается в том, что их поддержка довольно сложна, и в большинстве случаев независимым разработчикам приходится создавать расширения для заполнения пробелов в функционале редактора. Но, на самом деле, люди не могут поддерживать их в качестве своих сайд-проектов, поэтому качество расширения зависит от того, насколько популярен язык. Это слабое место VS Code.

Для других языков у вас есть несколько разных вариантов:

Если вы – фронтенд-разработчик, для вас большим упущением в списке встроенных средств форматирования будет обработка CSS и синтаксисов, подобных CSS. Возможны следующие варианты:

Для языков бэкенда вы обнаружите, что большинство расширений языковой поддержки также являются средствами форматирования. Стоит попробовать их, чтобы убедиться, что они вас устраивают. Конечно, можно использовать линтер, чтобы осуществлять форматирование и для этих языков.

Заключение

Прежде чем обращаться к расширению, посмотрите, может ли VS Code делать то же самое. Это звучит как очевидный ход, но мы все, вероятно, порой пренебрегали этим. VS Code регулярно добавляет функции, поэтому стоит время от времени проверять, что изменилось.

Then add this piece of code to your settings.json

This is how I solved this problem. It will remove some of the code highlights but will autoformat HTML templates like an HTML document.

You’re going to need all of these settings in VS Code’s settings.json file:

Save the settings file. Install the «ruby-rubocop» and «ERB Formatter/Beautify» extensions on VS Code. Follow the documentation on both of those extensions to install their gem dependencies. Restart VS Code.

Format-on-save functionality will only trigger if the file is actually saved (which only happens if you change the file). Saving a file that has no changes will not trigger format-on-save.

Or install it with yarn:

And make sure that VSCode uses local version of prettier from node_modules (or, you probably can install these plugins globally as well). Prettier VSCode plugin usually declared itself as default formatter, but just in case, make sure that in your settings.json is NOT written something like:

You can use Rufo to format your Ruby code. It is an opinionated formatter (like Prettier is for JS, if you are familiar with it).

You can use the vscode-rufo extension to integrate it with VSCode.

Nowadays (March 2019) I think prettier with prettier-ruby are the best options: it can handle Ruby, ERB (as HTML), JS, and many many more.

through the search functionality provided in the editor with Ctrl +Shift+ P (or Command + Shift + P on Mac), and then searching for format document.

it always format it for me as

As for, I use the rubocop in the project. Why not use it format my codes directly!

If you are interested, you can do as the following:

install the plugin VSCode ruby and then add the following snippets in the the settings.json

save it. It works

Update the settings.json of Visual Studio code:

Or in these paths in your OS

From Visual Studio Code Ruby extension documentation they recommend to use as an initial configuration:

It is now possible to:

You may also right click in your ruby file and you will find the «Format Document» option, which triggers «Ruby: autocorrect by rubocop» once ruby-rubocop is installed.

EJS Formatting in VS Code

Currently I cannot autoformat my code when I am in an EJS file, no auto-indenting works. When I change the file type on the bottom right to HTML it thinks the markup is invalid and breaks. Does anyone have suggestions?

After that, the indentation is not completely functional, but is better.

One thing you can do is swap back and forth in the editor for seeing the document as EJS or HTML. So if you need to format, just jump over to it being HTML and format, then jump back to EJS.

Try updating the settings under VS code.

Settings > extensions > Emmet:Include Languages > Edit in settings.json

When you write javascript code inside ejs files, auto formatting will add a space after » will be formatted to and break the code

To solve this issue, add this line to your settings.json «javascript.format.insertSpaceBeforeAndAfterBinaryOperators»: false

note that it will also remove spaces between mathematical & binary operators <>|=/*-+%

You could try using Beautify extension in VS Code and include the below code to settings.json file which is located in C:\Users\hp\AppData\Roaming\Code\User

go to select language mode (you’ll see a language identifier on the bottom bar of your vscode window: i.e. HTML, Embedded JS, Python, etc. )

This will bring up a window to search for other languages settings to use for your file. Select a option below or choose to «Configure HTML based settings» and add the file association to html manually:

Here’s the trick to making this show javascript formatting: in your EJS files include comments with the tags surrounding your javascript and your HTML formatter now shows JS formatting perfectly! Ex:

In my case, prettier had installed as default as follows, but you might have another formatter instead:

If you remove esbenp.prettier-vscode and start typing a few characters, VScode will highlight in red you have entered an invalid formatter and suggest valid values. Once you have installed Beautify, you can replace this entry with: HookyQR.beautify

7 расширений для VS Code, установив которые, вы не захотите выходить из редактора

…Даже простейшие инструменты могут давать людям возможность делать великие дела.
Биз Стоун, «Решайся! Заряд на создание великого от основателя Twitter»

Одно из различий между очень хорошими и хорошими программистами заключается в том, какие инструменты они используют. Подбор правильных инструментов способен значительно облегчить разработчику жизнь. Это относится к тонкой настройке интегрированных сред разработки, используемых при написании кода.

Многие программисты используют в наши дни Visual Studio Code. Этот редактор кода поддерживает установку расширений. Существует столько подобных расширений, что можно говорить о том, что возможности настройки VS Code практически безграничны.

Но на Visual Studio Marketplace, на площадке, где публикуются расширения для VS Code, опубликовано просто невероятное количество расширений. А это значит, что программистам сложно находить именно то, что им действительно пригодится. Если некое расширение показалось кому-то полезным, то оно, вполне возможно, принесёт пользу и другим людям. Поэтому я расскажу здесь о 7 расширениях для VS Code, которые способны значительно облегчить работу программиста. Всё это — бесплатные расширения. Любой может свободно их загружать и использовать.

1. REST Client

Расширение REST Client позволяет, прямо из VS Code, отправлять HTTP-запросы, и тут же просматривать ответы на них. Это расширение позволяет попрощаться с внешними приложениями, которые иначе пришлось бы использовать для выполнения запросов к серверам.

Это расширение, учитывая то, что у него более миллиона загрузок, весьма популярно. Им пользуется множество программистов. Я уже довольно давно пользуюсь REST Client и полагаю, что это — замечательный инструмент.

С его помощью очень просто и удобно создавать и отправлять запросы. При работе с ним используются чёткие синтаксические конструкции, облегчающие его применение в самых разных ситуациях. Например, для отправки простого GET-запроса достаточно одной строки кода, в которой имеется ключевое слово GET и присутствует URL.

В общем, рекомендую испытать это расширение всем, кому нужен функционал REST-клиента.

Работа с REST Client

2. CSS Peek

Если вы занимаетесь веб-разработкой, то CSS Peek — это расширение, которое обязательно должно присутствовать в вашем наборе инструментов. Данное расширение позволяет быстро просматривать CSS-правила, применяемые к различным HTML-элементам. Для того чтобы увидеть соответствующий CSS-код, достаточно навести указатель мыши на имя класса элемента или на его ID.

Ниже показан процесс работы с CSS Peek.

Работа с CSS Peek

Но возможности этого расширения идут дальше просмотра стилей. Оно, кроме прочего, позволяет быстро переходить к коду CSS-правил, используемых для стилизации элементов. Это позволяет экономить массу времени при поиске соответствующих селекторов.

3. Beautify

Если вам нравится чистый код, то вам, определённо, придётся по душе расширение Beautify. Оно позволяет форматировать код. Beautify поддерживает JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Sass и JSON.

Самое приятное в этом расширении то, что оно поддаётся глубокой настройке. Например, сюда входит настройка размеров отступов и указание того, должны ли файлы завершаться переводом строки. Beautify подойдёт тем, кто пишет код на разных языках программирования, для каждого из которых можно задавать собственные настройки.

Beautify, с более чем 5 миллионами загрузок, входит в топ-20 самых популярных расширений.

4. Auto Rename Tag

Расширение Auto Rename Tag решает весьма простую задачу, но, несмотря на это, оно способно занять достойное место в наборе инструментов программиста. А именно, оно автоматизирует задачу переименования HTML-тегов. В частности, если переименовывают открывающий тег, меняется и закрывающий тег. То же самое происходит и при переименовании закрывающего тега.

Если вам нужно, чтобы после ввода скобки, завершающей открывающий тег, автоматически вводился бы закрывающий тег, взгляните на расширение Auto Close Tag. Если у вас есть оба эти расширения, это хорошо поможет вам в написании HTML-кода, сделав ваш труд эффективнее, а результаты вашей работы — единообразнее.

Работа с Auto Rename Tag

5. Quokka.js

Расширение Quokka.js — это нечто вроде «песочницы» для экспериментов с кодом, встроенной прямо в редактор. Она позволяет работать с файлами, выводя соответствующие подсказки непосредственно в коде. Эти подсказки появляются в процессе ввода текста программы, что очень удобно.

Работа с Quokka.js

6. Night Owl

Чего стоит оптимизация VS Code без использования изумительной темы? Программисты проводят очень много времени, работая в редакторе, поэтому — чем привлекательнее выглядит редактор — тем лучше.

Night Owl — это одна из замечательных тем, используемых многими программистами. В описании к ней сказано, что она рассчитана на тех, кто засиживается за компьютером до поздней ночи.

Но если вам эта тема не нравится — ничего страшного. Существует ещё очень много хороших тем, одна из которых вам точно подойдёт.

7. JavaScript (ES6) code snippets

Расширение JavaScript (ES6) code snippets, завершающее этот материал, предлагает разработчику набор сниппетов, которые позволяют быстро создавать современные JavaScript-конструкции.

To beautify C++ code you need the Clang-Format extension. After installing it, the shortcut Alt + Shift + F will work in Visual Studio Code.

No need for any third party formatter. And if you want to use them then just go to this link and follow the steps: Description to install clang-formatter

And while installing clang make sure to add a path to current user or to all users after installing both the clang software and the extension in VSCode. The use is same as I mention for default C/C++ formatter.

The VSCode C/C++ extension includes clang-format automatically, so you can simply run Shift + Alt + F and your C++ will format.

Then to use it more extensively I opened the C++ settings JSON (Settings→ cpp → Open JSON settings ), removed editor.defaultFormatter (which was prettier for me), added format on save and format on paste, and it worked like a charm.

To format cpp files in vscode, the file must be saved as a cpp file first. Formatting javascript/java code works as expected with out the file being saved. C++ utilities seem to be buggy.

Did you try adding

in your user settings rather than in your project settings?

Had the same problem, just bind ‘cmd + s’ to saving without formatting. press cmd+shift+p then search for save without formatting and click on the configure icon, then bind it with ‘cmd + s’, problem gone 🙂

In the case it is ESLint, and not Prettier, the solution is:

Open Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) and configure:

I don’t have Prettier but the solution may be similar.

I came across this problem a while back. I disabled the formatOnSave option in settings.

In my case, I uninstalled prettier and was using html-css-js code formatter. I had already unchecked format on save, and had tried many other methods. I finally changed a setting in formatter.json (settings of html-css-js formatter) and then it worked.

This worked for me. I can use auto-save after this as well.

It disables the autosave with a toggle.

From its description:

A VS Code extension that allows you to toggle the formatter (Prettier, Beautify, …) ON and OFF with a simple click.

In my case I had two default code formatters that had conflicting settings, «prettier» was set not to format on save but JS-CSS-HTML Formatter was still set as my default formatter for some file types. I suggest using only one formatter and removing any unused / conflicting ones from your extensions list.

The way I used was to:

Open a file type ( one that’s giving you formatting on save issues. )

Click on the file type and select «Configure ‘yourFiletype’ language based settings.. from the dropdown.

Delete the line that sets your default formatter: ex) «editor.defaultFormatter»: «lonefy.vscode-JS-CSS-HTML-formatter»

Then go back to your file and try formatting normally, ( my hotkey is: alt + shift+ f ), it should prompt you to select your default formatter.

This should help minimize conflicting formatters issues.

I’ve just stumbled across this question while experiencing the exact same problem. The way I solved it, was just to switch the language of the document to plain text (you can do so by clicking on the language in the bottom navigation bar). If you then hit «save», no reformatting happens.

Disadvantage: You get no syntax highlighting. But if you just want to fix a typo or something and don’t want to mess with the settings or install an extension, it’s probably an ok workaround.

Save without Formatting

The ideal solution to this would just be to use the «Save without Formatting» command.

This can be executed by either:

This lets you save files, bypassing any formatters that may run automatically.

Format on Save

You might want to disable auto-formatting entirely. You might just not like it, or because it can be annoying when paired with files.autoSave which saves automatically, and therefore formats automatically too.

First check your global settings and see if you have editor.formatOnSave enabled. If so, then disable it.

You can navigate to your settings by either:

Then search for editor.formatOnSave and disable it.

Other Extensions

Check if any other extensions are performing code actions on save. Other answers here cover this topic a bit, but in general, you can just navigate through your setting and search terms like «save» or «format».

It happened to me as well. You need to set the language syntax from «plain» javascript to «javascript react».

Look at the images below, you will need to click at the bottom status bar and change the syntax.

To update all your files in the project go to «user settings» or «workspace settings» depends if you want it to be set for the project or for your user.

Email Newsletter

We spend so much time in our text editors, and every now and again we encounter those little frustrating issues that slow us down. Perhaps finding the right file takes too long, or finding a matching closing bracket becomes a long-winded adventure on its own.

Let’s fix all these annoyances for good. In this post, we look into useful VS Code extensions for front-end development, from fine productivity boosters to advanced debugging helpers.

Table of Contents

Below you’ll find quick jumps to specific extensions that you might need. Scroll down for a general overview. Or skip the table of contents.

Automating Log Messages

When it comes to log messages, the turbo-console-log extension has got your back. It automates the operation of writing meaningful log messages and inserts them automatically.

Insert meaningful log messages automatically, with turbo-console-log.

Keeping Bundle Size Under Control

We all know that performance matters, but in practice, it can be quite a challenge not to lose it out of sight when you’re in the flow of writing code. To keep your bundle size under control, the Import Cost extension lets you immediately know if you’re importing a hefty package into your project.

Keep your bundle size under control, with import-cost.

Import Cost isn’t a bundle analysis tool but was built with the idea to help you find possible performance bottlenecks before you ship them to your users. To do so, it gives you instant feedback by displaying the size of an imported third-party library as you’re importing it, right next to your line of code. A handy little helper.

Code Formatting, Automated

When writing code, a lot of time goes into formatting. Prettier automates the task for you. It removes all original styling and ensures that the outputted code conforms to a consistent style.

Prettier, a quite opinionated (but friendly) code formatter that formats code as you press Save.

Prettier parses your code and re-formats it with its own rules, taking the maximum line length into account and wrapping the code when necessary. You decide if you want to apply it to all languages or alternatively you can define the ones you prefer to format manually. Also a great solution for teams who struggle finding a common style guide.

Useful Code Snippets (React, Vue, TypeScript, jQuery)

Are you tired of typing the snippets you frequently need over and over again, always from scratch? Here are some handy little helpers to ease the job. For Vue, be sure to check out Sarah Drasner’s Vue.js VS Code Snippets extension. It was built for real-world use and focuses on developer ergonomics instead of cataloguing API definitions.

Burke Holland provides you with a collection of essential React snippets and commands that he selected from his day-to-day React use. And if you’re looking for Angular snippets, John Papa has got you covered. His extension adds snippets for Angular for TypeScript and HTML to your VS Code setup.

Vue.js VSCode Snippets, by Sarah Drasner, a goldmine of Vue.js code snippets.

These two might also come in handy: The JavaScript code snippets extension by Charalampos Karypidis contains snippets in ES6 syntax and supports both JavaScript and TypeScript. And, last but not least, Don Jayamanne’s jQuery code snippets feature over 130 jQuery snippets. Once installed, just type jq to get a list of all of them.

Speaking of snippets: If you prefer a good snippets library over defining them yourself from scratch, these collections have got your back:

Write Your Own Code Snippets

There are a lot of code snippet plugins for different languages out there, but have you ever wondered how to define your own snippets in VS Code? Maurice Borgmeier summarized everything you need to know to get started.

Everything you need to know about code snippets in VS Code, a thorough guide by Rob O’Leary.

Another great article on the topic comes from Rob O’Leary. He dives deeper into when and why to use snippets, takes a closer look at different types of snippets, how VS Code handles them, and, last but not least, how to write your own, of course.

Code Screenshots, The Fancy Way

Let’s be honest, taking good-looking screenshots of code can be a challenge. Polacode is here to change that.

Polacode lets you take and edit screenshots of your code directly in VS Code

Described as “Polaroid for your code”, Polacode lets you take and edit screenshots of your code directly in VS Code. You can resize the code’s container by dragging the corner and use commands to control the image appearance. A great solution to make the code you’ve spent so many hours on shine in the best light — in blog posts or presentations, for example.

Human-Friendly Comments

How do you handle comments? If your code requires a lot of explanations, it might be a good idea to make those usually grayed-out comments more human-friendly, so that it’s easier to see at a glance if a comment alerts you of a deprecated method, for example, or if it’s a todo your teammate left for you.

Better Comments helps you categorize annotations into alerts, queries and todos.

The VS Code extension Better Comments helps you do just that, categorizing annotations into alerts, queries, todos, highlights, and more. Commented-out code can also be styled to make it clear it shouldn’t be there.

Chrome Debugging Inside VS Code

Do you use Chrome and find yourself switching back and forth between the browser and your editor when debugging? Then you might want to give the VS Code Chrome debugger a try. It helps you debug client-side JavaScript code that runs in Chrome directly from VS Code.

Debug Chrome without leaving the editor, with Chrome Debugger for VS Code.

The debugger connects to Chrome over its Chrome Debugger protocol where it maps files loaded in the browser to the files you have open in VS Code. So without leaving the editor, you can set breakpoints in your source code, set up variables to watch, and see the full call stack when debugging. A little tool to make your debugging routine more straightforward.

DevTools For VSCode Extension

Wouldn’t it be cool to have DevTools integrated into your code editor so that you don’t need to switch back and forth between the two? If you’re using VSCode and Edge, a small extension makes it possible.

DevTools inside VS Code: Microsoft Edge Developer Tools for Visual Studio Code.

The extension shows the browser’s Elements and Network tool inside VSCode, giving you the ability to see the runtime HTML structure, alter styling and layout, perform diagnostics, and debug your project — without leaving the editor. By the way, Rachel Weil shared some handy DevTools tips for working with Chromium-based browsers like Edge and Chrome at SmashingConf San Francisco a few weeks ago. Be sure to tune into the recording to take your DevTools skills to the next level.

File Management Utils for VS Code

A lot of time is usually spent on organizing and managing files. File Utils makes the task more convenient.

File Utils, an extension that enables you to create, duplicate, move, rename, and delete files and directories.

The extension enables you to create, duplicate, move, rename, and delete files and directories with just a handful of commands. It also supports brace extension which automatically generates arbitrary strings strings to set up your document structure.

Adding Tags To Files In Your Editor

In large projects, finding one specific variant of a component, or just the right file requires you to know the file that you are actually looking for. But what if you could add bookmarks or labels to specific files, so you could find them faster?

File Ops allows you to add tags to files in your VS Code.

Folder Icons In VS Code

Custom file and folder icons in VS Code? Yes, please! To help you maneuver your workspace more easily, even if a lot of files and folder are involved, the VS Code Icons Team released an extension that brings icons to your editor. From “access” to “zip”, “Android” to “www”, the collection is sure to have the file and folder icons you need.

You can adjust icons for VS Code files and folders to make them a bit more distinguishable. With VSCode Icons.

The project-specific icons toggle feature and project auto-detection will automatically detect the type of project you have opened in your workspace and prompt you to toggle the icons accordingly. It’s also possible to use custom icons, if you prefer.

Monospaced Fonts For Coding

Programming fonts are certainly the workhorses in typography. They need to offer great readability, enable quick text scanning, and prevent eye strain even when a developer looks at the code for hours. To help you find a programming font that meets your needs, Chris Coyier curates Coding Fonts, a selection of more than 30 (mostly free) monospaced fonts that all match this criteria.

Monospace Coding Fonts for your pleasant coding experience.

To make the decision easier, each font comes with a short description, an overview of all characters, and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code examples in both day and night mode. Mostafa Gaafar maintains a similar list of fonts for developers with the option to also view the code examples in different color schemes. To add custom fonts to VS Code, you’ll need to define the font in “Settings”.

Git Supercharged

A useful extension to supercharge the Git capabilities built into VS Code is GitLens. To better understand the code you’re working on, GitLens lets you glimpse into whom, why, and when a line or code block was changed.

Seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories in VS Code with GitLens.

The extension visualizes code authorships at a glance, helps you seamlessly navigate and explore Git repositories, gain valuable insights via comparison commands, and more. Everything you need to know about your codebase right at your fingertips, without leaving the editor.

Git History In VS Code

Viewing and searching git log along with the graph and details, viewing a previous copy of the file you’re working on, searching the history, comparing branches and commits — these are just a few of the features that the Git History extension offers to streamline your workflow.

Comfortably navigate back in the future with Git History.

Speaking of Git: Another VS Code extension worth taking a closer look at when working with Git is Git Graph: It lets you view a Git graph of your repository and easily perform Git actions from the graph.

Highlight Annotations In Your Code

Do you sometimes forget to review the to-dos you’ve added while coding? The TODO Highlight extension reminds you that there are notes or things that need your attention before you publish to production.

TODO Highlight allows you to get reminded of to-dos before publishing to production.

The keywords TODO and FIXME are preconfigured, but you can customize the configuration to your liking if you prefer. A command highlights the open comments for you right in your code or as a list of all annotations. A great little reminder.

Highlighting Matching Brackets And Tags

An intense coding session strains the eyes, so anything that helps cater for more visual clarity is a welcome helper. To take your syntax highlighting to the next level when working with VS Code, you might want to check out the Bracket Pair Colorizer. The extension identifies matching brackets — in colors you define.

Easily highlight matching tags wih Bracket Pair Colorizer. A real time-saver.

Now that you’ve got full control over your brackets, another little detail to watch out for are matching opening and closing tags. VS Code does already come with a tag matching feature, but it is rather basic. The Highlight Matching Tag extension does the work more thoroughly, matching tags anywhere — from tag attributes to inside strings — and even highlighting the path from tag to tag in the status bar. Extensive styling options let you customize how tags are highlighted. HTML and JSX are officially supported.

Revealing Harmful Characters

Zero-width spaces and non-joiners, non-breaking spaces, left and right double quotation marks — when coding, some characters can be harmful because they are invisible or looking like legitimate ones. Gremlins Tracker finds them for you.

Gremlins Tracker tracks zero-width spaces, non-joiners and all the wird characters.

Gremlins Tracker uses a color scheme to alert you of harmful, potentially harmful, and less harmful characters. Lines that include such a character are marked with a Gremlins icon, and moving the cursor over the character gives you a hint of the potential issue. If you like, you can add new gremlins characters or override them for a specific language.

Highlighting Indentation

Indentation is key to ensure your code can be scanned quickly. A handy little plugin that makes indentations even more readable is Indent-Rainbow. It colorizes the indentation in front of your text alternating four different colors on each step and marking those lines where the indentation is not a multiple of the tab size.

Make indentation a bit more readable with Indent-Rainbow.

While error highlighting is useful, there are instances where it might get in your way. When dealing with RegEx patterns, for example. Luckily, Indent-Rainbow lets you turn off error highlighting on those, just like on comment lines, and, if you like, you can even skip it for entire languages.

Visualizing Stacking Contexts

Visualize CSS stacking contexts without the hassle, with CSS Stacking Contexts.

The extension makes stacking contexts visible in CSS and SCSS so that you can confidently use small values when writing z-index declarations. Additionally, it will also tell you when a z-index declaration has no effect and offer quick fixes.

Custom Colors To Tell Workspaces Apart

If you frequently have multiple VS Code instances open and struggle to tell them apart, Peacock might be worth taking a closer look at: the extension subtly changes the color theme of your workspace.

Subtly change the color of your workspace to distinguish between them in VS Code, with Peacock.

But it’s not only when working on multiple projects at once where Peacock shines. It also comes in handy when using VS Live Share or VS Code’s Remote features and you quickly want to identify your editor.

IntelliSense: AI-Assisted Development Features

The IntelliCode extension provides AI-assisted development features for Python, TypeScript/JavaScript and Java developers in Visual Studio Code, with insights based on understanding your code context combined with machine learning.

Why not enhance your development with a sparkle of AI? IntelliCode is here to help.

Providing AI-assisted IntelliSense, the extension shows you recommended auto-completion items for your code context at the top of the completions list. When it comes to overloads, it doesn’t cycle through the alphabetical list of member but presents you the most relevant one first. No more hunting through the list yourself.

Recording Guided Onboarding For Your Codebase

A large codebase can feel intimidating. CodeTour attempts to change that. The extension allows you to record and play back guided walkthroughs of your codebases, directly within the editor. Think of it as a table of contents that makes it easier to onboard or re-board to new project or feature area, to visualize bug reports, or understand the context of a code review.

Onboarding, the easy way: to record and play back guided tours of your codebase. That’s Codetour.

To create a code tour, you can annotate lines of code (Markdown is supported) and navigate as many files as you need, and the recorder captures the sequence. The tours can be checked into a repo or exported to a “tour” file so that anyone can replay it without having to clone any code. Handy!

From GitHub To VS Code, In One Second

Once you’ve discovered a snippet of code on GitHub, what if you want to start working with it in your project immediately? Instead of cloning the repo and finding that file that you need, you can use Github1s. Just add 1s after github in the URL, press Enter, and the repo, or a single file, will open straight in VS Code.

From GitHub to VS Code, in one second. That’s Github1s.

You can also use a bookmarklet to quickly switch between github.com and github1s.com, access private repositories and there are plenty of browser extensions that are listed on the project page as well. If you need an alternative, Gitpod is a slightly more advanced option, which also allows you to start an online development environment, run parallel workspaces and work on the codebase collaboratively.

Pets For Your VS Code

Ever wanted to pep up your VS code editor? Well, how about adding a cat, dog, snake, rubber duck or even good ol’ Clippy? All you need to do is install vscode-pets and run the vscode-pets.start command in order to see the panel. Once you’ve chosen a pet, its fur color and size, lean back and watch them interact with you!

Ever wanted to pep up your VS code editor? Or play catch in VS Code? You can do just that with VS Code Pets.

From throwing a ball and playing catch with your pet (run vscode-pets.throw-ball ) to adding additional pets (run vscode-pets.spawn-pet ), you’re coding workflow is bound to be anything but boring! The creator, Anthony Shaw, is open for ideas and discussion and welcomes feedback anytime.

Speed Up JavaScript / TypeScript Prototyping

If you’re looking for a way to speed up your JavaScript prototyping process, Quokka is for you. The rapid prototyping playground lives in your editor and gives prototyping, learning, and testing JavaScript and TypeScript a speed boost.

Quokka, a helpful little tool for rapid prototyping in JavaScript and TypeScript.

Runtime values are updated and displayed in your IDE next to your code, as you type. To get you up and running right away, there’s no config required, all you need to do to start experimenting is opening a new Quokka file. Happy prototyping!

Use A Remote Machine As Your Dev Environment

The extension runs commands and other extensions directly on the remote machine, so you won’t need any source code on your machine. Instead, you can open any folder on the remote machine and work with it just as you normally would, taking full advantage of VS Code’s full feature set. Handy!

Compile Sass In Real Time

A real-time Sass compiler with live browser reload? Live Sass extension has got you covered. It helps you compile/transpile your SASS/SCSS files to CSS files in real time.

Features include customizing the file location of the exported CSS as well as its style and extension name, there’s a quick status bar control, you can exclude specific folders in the settings, and autoprefix is supported, too.

remark for Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code extension to format and lint markdown files with remark.

This project is a Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extension that you can use in your editor to inspect and change markdown files. This extension is built around remark, which is a very popular ecosystem of plugins that work with markdown. You can choose from the 150+ plugins that already exist or make your own.

See remark for info on what the remark ecosystem is.

When should I use this?

You can use this extension if you want to check (lint) and format markdown files from within your editor.

Get it on the VS Code Marketplace or install it by using Quick Open ( Ctrl + P ) and running the following:

To use this extension, set up remark-cli like you normally would in your project with a configuration file. The extension will find the configuration in your workspace just like running remark-cli in your terminal would. You will be able to see your linter work as you type and you can format your code if you want it to.

Now, you can open markdown files in your project, and you’ll see squiggly lines and warnings in the Problems pane if the code doesn’t adhere to the coding standards. Here’s an example that should produce problems you can use to verify:

This extension can format markdown files.

You can optionally choose to automatically format when saving with editor.formatOnSave :

This extension is compatible with Visual Studio Code versions 1.67.0 and greater.

This plugin loads configuration files, plugins, and presets from your workspace. Only use this plugin in workspaces you trust.

10 расширений для VS Code, без которых я не могу программировать

VS Code — мой любимый редактор кода. Это — самый популярный из существующих редакторов, возможности которого можно расширять практически до бесконечности. И, что удивительно, разработала его компания Microsoft. Я полагаю, что ни один из других редакторов и ни одна из других IDE не может дать разработчику хотя бы половину того, что способен дать ему VS Code. Одна из сильных сторон VS Code — это система расширений. Она позволяет создавать расширения буквально на все случаи жизни. Хочу рассказать вам о моём топ-10 расширений для VS Code.

1. Beautify

Расширение Beautify позволяет форматировать html-, js-, css-, JSON- и sass-код. Параметрами форматирования можно управлять. Это расширение является надстройкой над стандартной системой js-beautify и позволяет разработчику форматировать код именно так, как ему нужно.

2. Better Comments

Расширение Better Comments позволяет расширить возможности по работе с комментариями. В частности, оно позволяет делить комментарии на категории. Это могут быть уведомления, запросы, списки дел, примечания.

Использование Better Comments

3. Bookmarks

Расширение Bookmarks — это настоящий спасательный круг для программистов. Особенно для тех, которые потерялись среди тысяч строк кода. Это расширение позволяет прикреплять к строкам кода закладки. Если у строки кода есть закладка — к этой строке можно легко перейти, воспользовавшись списком закладок.

Закладки в коде

4. Bracket Pair Colorizer 2

Расширение Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 позволяет раскрашивать скобки, что облегчает нахождение пар открывающих и закрывающих скобок. Это очень полезно в тех случаях, когда приходится работать с вложенными друг в друга программными конструкциями.

Пары скобок выделены цветами

5. Format in Context Menus

Расширение Format in Context Menus позволяет форматировать файлы, выделяя их в боковой панели и вызывая команду контекстного меню. Это особенно удобно в тех случаях, когда имеется множество файлов, которые нужно отформатировать, но при этом в имеющемся окружении нет поддержки средств для форматирования и линтинга кода.

Работа с Format in Context Menus

6. Git Graph

Расширение Git Graph позволяет просматривать структуру репозитория и, пользуясь этой структурой, выполнять различные операции. Это расширение поддаётся тонкой настройкой и обладает множеством возможностей. Вероятно, для того, чтобы как следует его описать, понадобится целая отдельная статья.

Работа с Git Graph

7. GitLens

Расширение GitLens помогает выяснять авторство кода с использованием аннотаций git blame и линз. Это расширение, кроме прочего, позволяет очень удобно просматривать содержимое репозиториев и узнавать полезные сведения о коде.

Работа с GitLens

8. Indent Rainbow

Расширение Indent Rainbow позволяет раскрашивать отступы, выделяя разными цветами отступы разных уровней. Это особенно полезно при работе с глубоко вложенными конструкциями в языках наподобие Python.

9. Path Intellisense

Расширение Path Intellisense оснащает редактор возможностями по автозавершению путей к файлам. Хотя VS Code поддерживает автозавершение путей и без расширений, эта возможность ограничена только HTML-, CSS- и JavaScript-файлами. Благодаря данному расширению автозавершением путей можно пользоваться при работе с любыми файлами и любыми языками.

Работа с Path Intellisense

10. Total Lines

Расширение Total Lines — это маленький удобный инструмент, который выводит в статус-баре сведения о количестве строк в открытом файле. Это — приятное дополнение к моей коллекции расширений.

А какими расширениями для VS Code пользуетесь вы?

Напоминаем, что у нас продолжается конкурс прогнозов, в котором можно выиграть новенький iPhone. Еще есть время ворваться в него, и сделать максимально точный прогноз по злободневным величинам.

How to Format Laravel Blade Codes in Visual Studio Code?

I have installed some Visual Studio Code extensions to handle Laravel Blade Codes like

But they are not helping me to format Laravel Blade Codes [blade.php files]. I mean they are not auto indenting the codes as I expected. But I have seen blade codes online which are well indented in visual studio Code IDE.

Example :

Is their any specific configuration or technique which I can use to make these extensions work or there is some other way?

Trending sort

Trending sort is based off of the default sorting method — by highest score — but it boosts votes that have happened recently, helping to surface more up-to-date answers.

It falls back to sorting by highest score if no posts are trending.

Switch to Trending sort

First go to «Visual Studio Code» Settings and search for the option «files.associations» If that option is not available in your settings. Please update your Visual Studio Code to latest version.

In the settings overwrite panel past the following snippet

Save it and your are good to go. Happy formatting 🙂

Update: There are still some issues in formatting html with blade code, the formatter tend to bring blade codes in a single line while executing format command. However, if your codes grow that’s won’t be a problem. Moreover, you can easily manage those by putting a line comment in between your blade blocks. And commenting in code is always a good thing.

Update: Seems updated version adds an option to enable blade formatting in the user settings. To use that,

Please make sure you are using the latest version and «Laravel Blade Snippets» Extension installed.

Then Ctrl + Shift + P : type User settings : Enter

3. In «User settings» > «Extensions» > «Blade Configaration» check the option Enable format blade file.

Code Valet

Code Valet for Visual Studio Code

Update: Valet 2.0, released on 11 June 2022, introduced 4 new categories of tools: Encode, Escape, Generate, and Hash. See the Changelog for details.

A Visual Studio Code extension containing an eclectic set of editing and formatting tools for developers.

Example of Comment Wrap and Align on «=»:

Contents

Tool Summary

The Valet’s tools are listed here by category.

Once you’ve installed the Code Valet extension, you can bring up a selectable list of all tools using the «Valet» button on VS Code’s status bar. Entering the Valet’s help shortcut [alt+v h] brings up the same list.

Some of the more useful tools have shortcuts that start with alt+v. For those that don’t, VS Code lets you add your own shortcuts; see here for more info.

Align Tools

Tools for aligning text.

Comment Tools

Tools for manipulating comments.

Encode Tools

Tools for encoding and decoding strings.

Escape Tools

Tools for escaping and unescaping strings.

Filter Tools

Tools that filter lines of text.

Generate Tools

This category includes GUID and UUID generators, and a lorem ipsum generator for those needing a quick dose of mangled Cicero.

Hash Tools

Tools for generating a hash value from a string.

Line Tools

Tools that are typically used on multi-line selections.

Other Tools

The tools in this group are loners that defy easy categorization. The Valet respects their need for space.

Text Case Tools

Tools for changing the case of text. Only the Sentence case tool recognizes periods («full stops» in UK English); the others don’t care about sentence structure.

Word Case Tools

Unlike the text case tools, these tools apply case conversions on a word-by-word basis within the selected text. The formats listed here are mostly used for code variable names.

Tool Details

Align: Columns

Aligns tabular data into columns. You will be prompted for the following parameters:

The default settings for the minimum column width and column spacing can be set using the tool.align.columns.minWidth and tool.align.columns.spacing properties in the Valet’s extension settings.

As noted in the Valet’s tab manifesto, text containing embedded tabs doesn’t travel well, so the text is first run through tab cleanup before the data is arranged in columns.

Example:

A typical use for this tool is to re-format data pasted into your code from a spreadsheet, which usually destroys column alignment when converted to plain text. Without this tool, the code aesthetes among you will tediously insert spaces to manually restore the columns, all the while telling yourself that seeking perfection and being obsessive-compulsive is not at all the same thing.

Align: On Equals

This is identical to the Align: Text tool. The Valet found that aligning on «=» was so popular that it has its own dedicated shortcut [alt+v =] that will avoid the prompt.

Align: Text

Modifies the selected text so that the first occurrence of a string in each line are lined-up in the same column.

The Valet will prompt you for the following:

Example 1:
Align text on «=»

Example 2:
Align text on «return»

You can provide multiple alignment strings separated by commas to apply the alignment tool multiple times to the same text.

Example 3:
Align text on «version» and «exclude»

Comment: Toggle

Toggle comments on a block of code.

VS Code can already toggle comments on-and-off; this is usually bound to the [ctrl+/] shortcut. Why does the Valet need this tool?

The Valet’s comment toggle tool appends a tag to the comment to allow you to differentiate between its comments and regular comments. This is useful when you want to temporarily comment-out code and want the comments to stand out from regular comments.

Example:

The default comment tag is «TEST», but you can change this using the tool.comment.toggle.tag option in the configuration settings. For example, you might want to change the tag to your initials to denote comments added by you.

If you do change the tag, please keep it clean. Temporary comments intended for your-eyes-only have been known to sneak their way into code reviews and production code. At the very least, the Valet strongly recommends that you avoid tags containing references to your boss’s anatomy or sexual proclivities.

Comment: Wrap

Wraps comments at a specified column so that after wrapping each line will still start with comment characters and have the same level of indentation. (The tool can also be used on text without comments.)

When you run this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

If the default value of 80 is too old-school for you, it can be changed by setting the tool.comment.wrap.column option in the Valet’s extension settings.

Example 1:
This example assumes the text is for a language that uses «//» for line comments.

The definition of «comment characters» includes not only your language’s standard line comment characters (e.g. «//’ for languages that use C-style comments), but also other characters such as «*» (for block JS Doc comments) and «///» (for C# XML Doc comments). Since the Valet doesn’t pretend to know all the alternate comment strings found in the wild, you can add your own to the tool.comment.wrap.prefixes property in the Valet’s extension settings.

Another use for the wrap tool is to split a block of text so that each word is on its own line. This is done by setting the wrap column to 0.

Example 2:

If the first line of a selection starts with a list index or list symbol, the wrap tool will attempt to preserve the list indentation, as shown in the following example.

Example 3:

If you want to ignore lists, disable the comment.wrap.list option in the Valet’s extension settings.

The Valet realizes it is the rare developer indeed that is compelled by some inner daemon to add comments containing lists or similar levels of detail (or, dare we say, sophistication) to their code. For those who do, welcome to the resistance, you fighters of the good fight, you keepers of the guttering flame.

Encoder: Base64

Encode or decode Base64 strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

The result of the decode operation is usually copied to the target you select in the «Output target» prompt. However, if the decoded result is binary data, the Valet will give you the option of saving the binary data to a file.

Encode: JWT

Decode a JWT (JSON Web Token).

The result of the decode operation is copied to the clipboard. The decoded JWT string is JSON containing the JWT’s header, payload, and signature. No validation is performed on the JWT by the Valet.

Despite being in the Valet’s «Encode» tool category, this tool does not provide an option to encode JWTs. There are just too many variables associated with creating JWTs, so for once the Valet heeded the sweet whispers of «YAGNI» in its ear.

Escape: C/C++

Escape or unescape C or C++ strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

Escape: C#

Escape or unescape C# strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

A C# verbatim string is prefixed with an «@» and causes the escape rules to change compared to a standard string. The following example shows how they differ.

Example:

When escaping verbatim strings you will not see the prompt, «Escape non-ASCII Unicode?» That is because in verbatim strings escaped Unicode is not un-escaped when it is written or displayed to the user.

C# also uses the «$» prefix to define format strings with data embedded in curly braces. If you need to escape format strings, the Valet suggests you run this tool on the substrings outside the curly braces.

Escape: HTML

Escape or unescape HTML strings for use in an element where text content is expected or in attributes. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

Example:

Escape: Java

Escape or unescape Java strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

Escape: JavaScript

Escape or unescape JavaScript strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

A quick note about JavaScript encoding. JavaScript strings are encoded in UTF-16, but JavaScript source code files are almost always encoded in UTF-8. Should you care? Probably not, except perhaps if you are using Node.js. If you want to learn more about the confusion this can cause, see Kevin Burke’s post titled Let’s talk about Javascript string encoding.

Escape: JSON

Escape or unescape JSON value strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

Escape: Python

Escape or unescape Python strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

Python uses the «f» prefix to define format strings with data embedded in curly braces. If you need to escape format strings, the Valet suggests you run this tool on the substrings outside the curly braces.

To avoid escapes altogether, consider using the Python «r» (raw) prefix. The Valet only has a nodding acquaintance with Python, so it won’t even pretend to try to tell you the escape rules associated with raw strings.

Escape: URI

Escape or unescape URI query parameter strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

Internally, the Valet simply uses JavaScript’s encodeURIComponent and decodeURIComponent functions to do the dirty work. This is not the same as using JavaScript’s encodeURI and decodeURI functions. What this means to you, the user, is that when dealing with URLs you typically should only use this tool to escape the individual query parameters, not the entire URL.

For example, in the example below you would not want to select the entire URL and run the Valet’s URI tool to escape the full string. Instead, you should individually select only the query parameters.

Example:
Individually run the URI tool on the strings «R&D» and «σοφο» to escape the URL.

Fortunately, as shown in the example above, the full URL does not have to follow the same rules for escaping characters as the URL’s query parameters. For a good explanation of the hows and whys of the escape rules for URLs and URIs, see Mark Amery’s StackOverflow post on the topic.

Escape: XML

Escape or unescape XML content or attribute strings. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

Filter: Keep or Remove

Keep or remove lines based on a filter string. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

Filter: Double-spaced lines

Convert double-spaced lines to single-spaced. This tool comes in useful when code that’s copied from a web site gets converted into double-spaced lines when pasted into VS Code.

Filter: Duplicate lines

Remove duplicate lines from the selected text. When using this tool, you will be prompted for the following:

The default setting for ignore case can be overridden via the tool.filter.ignoreCase property in the Valet’s extension settings.

Example

Filter: Template

The Valet’s templates are a quick-and-dirty alternative for one-off tasks where it’s just not worth the trouble to create a VS Code snippet or macro.

To use this tool, select one or more lines of data that you want to use as the input arguments to the template, then launch the tool. You will be prompted for the following options:

The template format is simple and easy to use. Replacement arguments are specified by , where <0>is the first argument, <1>is the second, etc. (If you’ve used C#’s positional string formatting, this will seem very familiar.)

Example 1:
You’ve defined a class named HttpCode with integer constants for the return codes. To display the codes as strings, you can build case statements for a switch block using the template tool.

To help make the return text a bit more muggle-friendly, use one of the Template tool’s functions that convert variables to non-variable cases.

The template tool recognizes the following functions:

Other features of the template tool include the following:

Example 3:
This example uses a template to generate a Python if/else block from arguments 0, 1, and 3 of a comma-separated list.

And yes, Pythonistas, when creating that last example the Valet was well aware that Python has a ternary conditional operator. However, its syntax is an abomination that is rightfully shunned by anyone for whom C is the paterfamilias of their software family tree.

Finally, regex gurus may question the need for the template tool. They will extol the virtues of «capturing groups» and «back references». Let them have their fun. The Valet counts itself a member of the unrepentant developer demimonde that would rather binge-watch the Star Wars sequels than wrestle with a complex regex; this tool is for us.

Generate: GUID

This tool generates a random Microsoft-style GUID, a 128-bit number rendered as 32 hexadecimal digits in five groups separated by hyphens. Shown below is an example:

The output of this tool is written to the document at the current cursor location.

The terms UUID and GUID are often used interchangeably. However, historically UUID refers to a unique ID defined by RFC 4122, while GUID refers to Microsoft’s implementation. The two types of IDs are virtually identical except for one obvious difference: The hex digits in RFC 4122 UUIDs are lowercase while Microsoft’s GUIDs are uppercase.

RFC 4122 defines two UUID versions (v1 and v4) that are intended to be randomly generated, as are Microsoft’s GUIDs. The RFC specs on the valid values of UUIDs are more restrictive than Microsoft’s GUID requirements, so ignoring case a v1 or v4 UUID is always a Microsoft GUID but the reverse is not always true.

To keep things simple, the Valet generates a GUID by generating a v4 UUID and converting it to uppercase. Hopefully, Microsoft fanboys and fangirls will forgive this harmless example of lèse-majesté.

Generate: UUID

This tool generates a random UUID, a 128-bit number rendered as 32 hexadecimal digits in five groups separated by hyphens. Shown below is an example:

You will be prompted for the UUID version you want to generate, v1 or v4. The output of this tool is written to the document at the current cursor location.

See the GUID generate tool for an overview of the difference between UUIDs and GUIDs.

Generate: Lorem Ipsum

Generate lorem ipsum text, the de facto standard filler text for developers. You will be prompted for the following:

The default text used by this tool is the classic lorem ipsum text based on Cicero’s De finibus bonorum et malorum («On the ends of good and evil»).

This tool offers the option to add delimiting words to the start and end of the text. By default these delimiters are INCIPE and FINIS, but these can be changed via the tool.lorumIpsum.prefix and tool.lorumIpsum.suffix properties in the Valet’s extension settings.

For example, if you request 5 words with delimiters, using the default settings the lorem ipsum tool will generate the following text:

Adding delimiting words makes it easy to see if the text is being truncated in tests that display or manipulate text. For example, the Valet’s manual test of the wrap tool use lorem ipsum text with delimiting words to verify that none of the text is being truncated when the text is wrapped.

The generated text is NOT random; the words and word order are always the same. If you ask for 10 words and set the «Start at beginning» option to true, you will get the same 10 words in the same order every time. Set «Start at beginning» to false if you require a little variety.

Hash: CRC

Generate a CRC-32 or CRC-32C hash from the selected string. You will be prompted for the CRC type.

The hash result is copied to the clipboard.

Hash: HMAC

Generate an HMAC (Hash-Based Message Authentication Code) from the selected string. You will be prompted for the following:

As noted in the table above, the default algorithm is SHA-256. However, the default can be changed via the tool.hmac.algorithm property in the Valet’s extension settings.

The output of the HMAC tool is copied to the clipboard.

Keys can be saved for easy access by clicking on the «Edit user-defined HMAC keys» option at the bottom of the Valet tool menu. JSON is used to define name/key pairs. For example, the following JSON string defines two keys named «My Key 1» and «My Key 2»:

If you define any user defined HMAC keys, the key names will be displayed in a drop-down list when you are prompted for the HMAC key.

WARNING: User-defined HMAC keys can be viewed by anyone who has access to your computer account and knows how to use Code Valet. So, it’s up to you to weigh the convenience of saving your HMAC keys against the level of security you require.

Hash: MD5

Generate a MD5 hash from the selected string. The hash result is copied to the clipboard.

Although the Valet isn’t usually one to spread malicious gossip, the word on the street is that the MD5 algorithm is cryptographically broken and has been for many, many years. Just sayin’.

Hash: SHA

Generate a SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 hash from the selected string. You will be asked to select which SHA algorithm to use. The default is SHA-256, but the default can be changed by setting the tool.sha.algorithm property in the Valet’s extension settings.

The hash result is copied to the clipboard.

Cryptographic weaknesses exist in SHA-1 and after 2010 it was no longer approved for most cryptographic uses. However, like the Valet’s preferred diet of whisky and cigarettes, some bad habits are harder to break than others.

Hash: UUID

Generate an v3 or v5 UUID from a selected string and a namespace. A UUID is a 128-bit value with the following format:

The UUID generated by this tool is copied to the clipboard.

Repeatedly running the tool on the same string and namespace will always generate the same UUID. Thus, unlike the UUID generate tool, the UUIDs produced by this tool are not random.

You will be prompted for the UUID version (v3 or v5) and the namespace. A namespace is simply another UUID. When asked for the namespace, you can either enter one manually or select one of the following pre-defined namespaces:

These four namespace names represent «potentially interesting» UUIDs defined in Appendix C of RFC 4122, the spec for UUIDs. The Valet isn’t quite sure what makes them interesting; you’ll have to ask the authors of the RFC.

Additional named namespaces can be defined by clicking on the «Edit user-defined UUID namespaces» option at the bottom of the Valet tool menu. JSON is used to define name/namespace pairs. For example, the following JSON string defines two namespaces named «My namespace 1» and «My namespace 2»:

User-defined namespace names will be included in the namespace selection list when the UUID hash tool prompts you for a namespace.

WARNING: User-defined namespaces can be viewed by anyone who has access to your computer account and knows how to use Code Valet. So, it’s up to you to weigh the convenience of saving your UUID namespaces against the level of security you require.

Line: Count

Counts the number of lines, words, and characters in the selected text. Line and character counts are done pretty much as you would expect. However, word counts require an explanation.

There are some very sophisticated algorithms out in the wild for counting words, but none is perfect. For example, an early incarnation of this tool used an uber-complex regex that counted words like «isn’t» as 2 words. Some say it is, some say it ain’t. Coders aren’t paid by the word, so the Valet sides with those who say «isn’t» ain’t.

Line: Index

Add indices to the start of each line. You will be prompted for the following options:

The index number or letter will be incremented for each entry in the list. Shown below are some examples.

Example 1:

Example 2:

The default starting index string is «1.», but that can be changed via the tool.line.index.default property in the Valet’s extension settings.

The tool will strip indices that match the index pattern you provide if all lines already match the pattern. Not only is index stripping useful in and of itself, but it makes it possible to re-index a set of lines by running the tool twice against the same input.

Example 3:

The default delimiter is newline, and that’s what was used in the previous examples. However, commas, semicolons, or spaces can also be used as the delimiter as shown in the following example.

Example 4:

Line: Join

Joins selected lines into a single line. If the lines all begin with comment characters, the comment characters will be removed before joining the lines.

If there are spaces anywhere in the lines to be joined, then the joined lines will be trimmed front and back and then joined by a space. For text that doesn’t contain spaces, the lines will be joined without spaces.

Example:

The Valet finds this tool useful when preparing comments for use in external documentation. (Yes, the Valet’s comments are that good.)

Line: Sort

Sorts the selected lines of text. You’ll be prompted for one of the following options when using this tool:

The default setting for numeric sort can be overridden in the Valet’s extension settings using the tool.sort.numericSort property. The tab cleanup tool is run on the selected lines prior to sorting.

Numeric sorting
When text containing numbers is sorted lexically it won’t be sorted by the numbers’ values if they have different lengths. Shown below is a simple example:

Example 1:

If you set this tool’s «Numeric Sort» option to «Yes», then the Valet will determine if all the text to be sorted starts with numeric values. If it does, then the data will be sorted numerically.

Sorting delimiter-separated lists (DSLs)
Although the typical use of the sort tool is for sorting lines, it can also be used to sort DSLs embedded in strings. The sort tool will assume it’s sorting a DSL if the text selected for sorting is entirely on a single line.

Example 2:

The default delimiters are comma and semicolon. The list of delimiters can be modified or augmented via the tool.sort.delimiters property in the Valet’s configuration settings.

The same rules used to sort lines apply when sorting DSLs.

Other: Tab cleanup

This tool cleans-up tabs in the selected text as follows:

After this tool is run, tabs will only used for indenting the text at the start of the line, unless you’ve enabled VS Code’s insertSpaces option. The philosophy behind these cleanup steps is described in the Valet’s tab manifesto.

Other: Unicode values

Show the Unicode hexadecimal values for each character in the selected text. The conversion is done in-line in your document, which is probably not something you want to be permanent. So, don’t forget to UNDO once you’re done.

Example:

You’ll be prompted for the following option when using this tool:

The hex value for each character takes 6 characters (4 digits plus 2 spaces) when printed by this tool. So, by default the text is wrapped to avoid the need for horizontal scrolling to view the results when converting long lines of text. However, should you not share the Valet’s disdain for horizontal scrolling, the default wrapping value can be set using the tool.unicodeValue.charsPerLine property in the Valet’s configuration settings.

Also, as noted in the Valet’s comments on i18n, the glyphs for some languages may not align correctly when printed above the hex values. Wrapping the output of this tool can help reduce the effects of incorrect alignment.

In June 2020 Microsoft added a HexEditor extension to the Marketplace that provides a full-featured custom editor for viewing and editing files as hex values. The Valet suggests you consider using that extension instead of this tool if your needs go beyond an occasional peek behind the Unicode curtain.

Text: lowercase

Converts all selected text to lowercase.

This tool exists because back when the Valet first donned the bowtie, VS Code didn’t have a command for converting to lowercase. Yes, that was just after VS Code emerged from the primordial ooze, but trust us, it wasn’t there. UPPERCASE was missing as well. Now, the Valet keeps these tools around both for sentimental reasons and because the list of case conversion tools seems incomplete without them.

Text: Sentence case

Convert all words except the first word in a sentence to lowercase.

In English and many other languages converting to sentence case is complicated by exceptions to the case rules that include the following:

The number of words that belong to these categories is almost infinite. Thus, more out of expediency than any sense of fair play, all words are created equal in the eyes of the Valet and it uses standard case rules for them all.

Text: Title Case

Converts every word so that the first letter is uppercase and the remaining letters are lowercase.

Also, like the sentence case tool, the title case tool has no respect for special words. For example, «ASCII» will be converted to «Ascii» and «iPhone» will become «Iphone».

Text: UPPERCASE

Converts all selected text to uppercase, or as the Valet somewhat superciliously likes to call it, majuscule.

No shouting, please.

Word: camelCase

Convert words to camel-case.

Examples

Word: CONSTANT_CASE

Converts words to constant case format.

Examples

Word: dot.case

Converts words to dot case format.

Examples

Word: kebab-case

Converts words to kebab-case format.

Examples

Why the name «kebab-case»? Etymology is not the Valet’s strong suit, but it clearly comes from the fact that the dashes resemble skewers used to hold together cubes of meat in a shish kabab.

Blake Embrey’s npm change-case library (the basis for the Valet’s word case tools) refers to this format as «param-case» to avoid conflicts with an existing npm kebab-case library. However, the Valet doesn’t operate under the same restrictions as Blake’s library, so it will stick with the whimsical kebab-case over the dull and generic param-case.

Word: no case

Convert words to no case. This means variable-like words will be split into multiple words. The easiest way to explain this is via some examples.

Examples

When you use this tool, you will be asked to select a case type for the conversion from the following options:

As you can see, these case options match the tools found in the Text Case toolset. The only difference is that this tool will split variable names, while the Text Case tools will not.

Word: PascalCase

Convert words to PascalCase, which is simply camel-case with attitude.

Examples

Word: path/case

Converts words to path case format.

This tool also converts annoying DOS/Windows paths with backslashes (thanks, Bill!) to forward slashes. Yes, that’s a simple change-and-replace that can be done with any text editor. But once the Valet went to the trouble of adding a path case tool, ignoring backslashes just felt so dirty. And not in a good way.

Examples

Word: snake_case

Converts words to snake case format.

Examples

Miscellany

Buttons on status bar

When the Valet is installed as an extension, at start-up VS Code will add the following buttons to the status bar at the bottom of the VS Code window.

Although the Valet enjoys the limelight, if you would rather have it skulk in the shadows the status bar buttons can be removed via the control.button.valet and control.button.repeat properties in the Valet’s configuration settings.

The Valet’s tools menu is also available via the VS Code context menu that is displayed when right-clicking on text selected in the editor. If you don’t want the Valet to appear in the context menu, use the configuration setting’s control.contextMenu property to remove it from the menu.

If all else fails, you’ll find the Valet tools in the VS Code command palette using the standard VS Code [ctrl+shift p] shortcut. The list can be very long, so to find the Valet’s tools filter on (what else?) «Valet».

Extension settings

The Valet is a bit fussy about its appearance, but you can control some aspects of that via VS Code’s Settings page. However, please note that the bowtie is NOT negotiable.

The last time the Valet checked, you could get to its extension settings as follows:

Disabling shortcuts

The Valet’s extension settings include a control.shortcuts property that can be used to enable/disable alt-v shortcuts. Disable shortcuts if they would interfere with your own custom shortcuts, or if you simply don’t like the idea of a parvenu like the Valet mingling with VS Code’s regular shortcuts.

Modifying the tools menu

By default, all tools listed in Tool Details are shown in the Valet’s tools menu. However, the Valet understands you may not share the same unconditional love it has for all its children, so you can select which tool categories are shown in the menu via the following properties in the Valet’s configuration settings.

If you disable display of a category of tools, those tools can still be accessed via VS Code’s tool palette.

The top of the tools menu contains a history of the last tools used to make it easier to access frequently used tools. The default maximum number of entries in the history list is 5, but this can be modified via the control.history.count property in the configuration settings. If you live in the moment and despise nostalgia, set this property to 0.

By default, the tool history is saved between sessions. If you’d rather not save tool history, set the configuration settings’ history.persist property to false.

Internationalization (i18n)

Currently, the Valet only speaks English, but it does attempt to be a good citizen of the world and accommodate other languages. For example, the sorting and case conversion tools all use the locale-aware versions of the appropriate JavaScript functions for comparing text.

However, the Valet’s text alignment features may disappoint coders who use languages that contain glyphs different from those found in Latin or related alphabets. For example, the glyphs for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are often wider than Latin alphabet character glyphs, even when using monospaced fonts.

As a result, text in these languages may not align correctly using the alignment tools when mixed with text in Latin alphabets. The Valet would apologize for this regrettable lapse in its usual impeccable sense of aesthetics, but unfortunately the Valet is away at the moment and cannot be reached.

Output target

Most of the Valet’s tools replace the selected text with the output of the tool. However, some tools (including most of the escape tools) will ask you to select an output target and provide the following options:

These options exist because the Valet couldn’t decide what users would want to do with the output of these tools. Even the Valet’s omniscience has its limits.

Escaping non-ASCII Unicode

Many of the Valet’s escape tools ask you if you want to escape non-ASCII Unicode characters. If you answer yes, all Unicode characters above codepoint 0x007F will be escaped. Most text files you encounter when using VS Code will be encoded using UTF-8, so typically escaping non-ASCII characters won’t be necessary.

However, except for making it less readable by humans, it’s usually OK to escape non-ASCII characters in UTF-8 files. So, go ahead and escape them if you are one of those English-speaking monoglots with an atavistic need to escape outlandish foreign characters.

Text field history

Some tools display a pick list of the history of previous values when you are prompted to enter data. Those tools are listed in the table below. The table also lists the extension settings option that you can use to set the maximum number of history entries for that tool and the default values used by the Valet.

Set a tool’s history count property to 0 to disable history for that tool. The default counts for the Hash tools are set to 0 because that data may be sensitive and the Valet prefers to hide it from prying eyes unless you say otherwise.

Clicking on a history entry in a tool’s pick list will immediately use that value. However, if you use the up- and down-arrow keys to navigate the history list, you can edit the selected string in the text field before hitting Enter to use the value.

If your history becomes filled with cruft from bygone eras, use the «Clear history» option at the bottom of the Valet’s tools menu to hide any embarrassing faux pas from posterity.

By default, tool text history will be persisted between sessions of VS Code. Should your privacy concerns outweigh the convenience of retaining history, go to the extension settings and disable the history.persist property. When this property is disabled, history will be discarded when you exit VS Code. Tool menu history persistence is also controlled by the history.persist property.

Tab manifesto

If you’re at all serious about code aesthetics, you’ve probably already chosen sides in the great tabs-vs-spaces debate. The Valet strongly believes that source code should always use tabs for indentation, but nowhere else. Code that uses this approach can be viewed in any text editor with the coder’s preferred tab size without distorting the format.

This tabs-are-for-indenting-only philosophy is what led to the creation of the tab cleanup tool, one of the original members of the Valet tool pantheon. The tab cleanup tool serves as a pre-filter for many of the other tools to ensure that any alignment goodness done by those tools is consistent regardless of the tab size setting.

However, while the Valet strongly favors the use of tabs for indentation, if you’ve enabled VS Code’s insertSpaces option the Valet will respect your wishes and dutifully remove even leading tabs from the text. But it sure won’t like it.

In a gesture perhaps intended as a way of bridging the great divide between anti-spacers and anti-tabbers, v1.52 of VS Code introduced a feature called sticky tabs. This feature makes the Valet’s hateful grudge against leading spaces a little harder to justify if your files never leave the cozy confines of VS Code.

The Valet’s tabbing philosophy only makes sense if you edit code using a monospaced font. If you don’t, you are clearly wise in ways beyond the ken of mortal men, and the Valet can only wish you well in your journey beyond the stars.

Acknowledgments

The Word Case tools use Blake Embrey’s npm change-case package for converting between variable name formats. (PascalCase, camel-case, etc.)

Crypto-related hashing in the Hash tools is done using the npm crypto-js package. CRC hashes are generated courtesy of the npm crc-32 package. UUIDs (both hashed and random) are generated using the npm uuid package.

Base64 encoding, HTML escaping, and XML escaping are implemented using the npm html-entities package. Most of the other escape tools rely on the Valet’s port of portions of the Apache Commons StringEscapeUtils library from Java to Typescript.

The Valet would be remiss if it didn’t send sloppy wet kisses to StackOverflow, which has become so ubiquitous that it’s easy to forget what an invaluable resource it is.

And of course, as a VS Code extension the Valet is indebted to the minions of Redmond for their efforts in making VS Code free, open source, and, most importantly, extensible via its extensions API.

However, the Valet only wishes the founding mothers and fathers had shown a little more imagination when it came time to name their new editor. While the Valet gladly evangelizes for VS Code, heathens are both skeptical and confused when told, «VS Code is NOT Visual Studio.» And, it really yanks the Valet’s bowtie when online searches targeting VS Code return links that are mostly about Visual Studio.

Support

If you have questions, comments, or bug reports related to this extension, please submit them to valet@sophodoros.com.

Please rate the Valet in the Microsoft Marketplace if you find it at all useful. For all its showy arrogance, the Valet really does care what you think.

Finally, to answer what is probably the single most important question you are ever likely to have concerning this extension, the Valet pronounces its name «val-LAY», never «VAL-it».

Why does jsx code formatting not correctly

vscode is my favorite editor, I have a code formatting problem with it. Here is my jsx code:

when I use option + shift + F to format it, it gives me this:

Obviously, it’s not correct.

So, I don’t want to install any code formatting extension, is there any config for vscode to doing this correctly?

As you note, the Beautify extension is the root cause here (see this issue). That extension provides a document formatter that VSCode will run when you run the format command

Choose the language in right-bottom corner as «JavaScript React».

Install Prettier (if not installed), and try to add this your user or workplace settings:

Do not put linebreak between return and the returned JSX expression. Trigger autoformat (Alt+Shift+F), and check if works.

go to settings in VSCode, search settings.json, then you can open settings.json file.

Solution A:

Press Ctrl + Shift + P

Then type Format Document With.

At the end of the list click on Configure Default Formatter.

Now you can choose your favorite beautifier from the list.

Solution B:

If we are talking Visual Studio Code nowadays you set a default formatter in your settings.json :

Point to the identifier of any installed extension, i.e.

You can also do so format-specific:

You could also assign other keys for different formatters in your keyboard shortcuts ( keybindings.json ). By default, it reads:

I just found this extension called beautify in the Market Place and yes, it’s another config\settings file. 🙂

Beautify javascript, JSON, CSS, Sass, and HTML in Visual Studio Code.

Edit:

This is now supported (as of 2019). Please see sajad saderi’s answer below for instructions.

No, this is not currently supported (in 2015).

You can make some changes from the «Settings». For example javascript rules start with «javascript.format». But for advanced formatting control, still need to use some extensions.

A solution that works for me (July 2017), is to utilize ESLint. As everybody knows, you can use the linter in multiple ways, globally or locally. I use it locally and with the google style guide. They way I set it up is as follow.

How to reformat a Vue.js component in VS Code?

I’m using Visual Studio Code to code a Vue.js component and need to reformat the code of that component.

I did not find any built-in formatters, and the first choice for a plugin was vue-buetify which informs after installation that

There are many bugs in the extension, please do not use it, the better choice is vetur

I then tried Vetur by installing it but there is no place where I see an option to beautify the code currently in the editor. The Shift + Alt + F command has no effect.

I’ve been fiddling with formatting quite a bit since my previously working project stopped formatting one day. Here’s what I think the current state of the art is:

Vetur is the (current) mandatory default tooling for vue. Accept no substitutes.

Vetur developers are down on js-beautify-html, although it is still apparently functional: https://vuejs.github.io/vetur/formatting.html. And they don’t make an alternative recommendation at this time.

So I’m going forward with enabling js-beautify-html in vetur settings, hoping for the best and keeping my eyes peeled. But I’m such a superficial coder that I may never trip over its known issues.

VSCode Ctrl + S

I am working on a React project using a Visual Studio Code. When I press Ctrl + S in the Visual Studio Code to save file, it removes all the JavaScript formatting or scatters all the code in the file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try disable extensions for auto-formatting javascript code. Sometimes Beautify, JS-CSS-HTML Formatter can mess things up.

Maybe auto-formatting is on in settings as well. Check File > Preferences > Settings and look at the «User settings»-tab. Look if «editor.formatOnSave» is set to ‘true’, change that to ‘false’ in that case.

Hope that helps. If not, please send a list of your activated extensions.

You disable it «Format On Save»

Как вы форматируете код в Visual Studio Code (VSCode)?

Что эквивалентно Ctrl + K + F и Ctrl + K + D в Windows в Visual Studio для форматирования или «украшения» кода в редакторе кода Visual Studio?

Форматирование кода доступно в Visual Studio Code с помощью следующих ярлыков:

Для несохраненных фрагментов

Открыть палитру команд (Win: F1 или Ctrl + Shift + P )

Найдите «Изменить языковую модель»

Неформатировать

‘ Покажи картинки ‘

Ярлык форматирования кода:

Вы также можете настроить этот ярлык, используя настройку предпочтений, если это необходимо.

Форматирование кода при сохранении файла:

Visual Studio Code позволяет пользователю настраивать параметры по умолчанию.

Если вы хотите автоматически форматировать контент при сохранении, добавьте приведенный ниже фрагмент кода в настройки рабочего пространства Visual Studio Code.

Меню Файл → Настройки → Настройки рабочего пространства

Примечание: теперь вы можете автоматически форматировать файлы TypeScript. Проверьте мое обновление.

Вы можете добавить привязку клавиш в меню Файл → Настройки → Сочетания клавиш.

Или Visual Studio, например:

Visual Studio Code 1.6.1 поддерживает « Формат при сохранении », который автоматически выбирает соответствующие установленные расширения средства форматирования и форматирует весь документ при каждом сохранении.

Включите «Форматировать при сохранении», установив

И есть доступные сочетания клавиш (Visual Studio Code 1.7 и выше):

Отформатируйте весь документ : Shift + Alt + F

Для других языков вам может потребоваться установить определенный языковой пакет.

Мое чтение «key»: «ctrl+shift+i»

You can add a keybinding in «Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts»

Or Visual Studio like:

Обратите внимание: cmd ключ только для Mac. Для Windows и Fedora (клавиатура Windows) используйте Ctrl

РЕДАКТИРОВАТЬ :

В соответствии с версией Visual Code 1.28.2 это то, что я нашел.

Введите текст editor.action.format в поле поиска, чтобы просмотреть существующие ярлыки.

Чтобы изменить комбинации клавиш, выполните следующие действия:

Меню Файл → Настройки → Настройки

Когда вы вводите точку с запятой, она будет отформатирована.

Просто щелкните текст правой кнопкой мыши и выберите «Форматировать код».

Shift + Alt + F отлично справляется со своей задачей в версии 1.17.2 и выше.

По какой-то причине Alt + Shift + F не работал у меня на Mac Visual Studio Code 1.3.1, а на самом деле команда «Форматировать документ» вообще не работала. Но команда Formatter работала очень хорошо.

Таким образом, вы можете использовать Command + Shift + P и ввести Formatter или создать свой собственный ярлык в меню File → Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts → Command + K Command +, S затем набрать Formatter и добавить свой ярлык.

Код форматирования в Visual Studio.

Я пробовал форматировать в Windows 8.

Просто следите за скриншотами ниже.

Нажмите «Просмотр» в верхней строке меню, а затем нажмите «Палитра команд».

Затем появится текстовое поле, где нам нужен тип Format.

Самый простой способ, который я использую в Visual Studio Code (Ubuntu):

Выделите текст, который вы хотите отформатировать, с помощью мыши.

В Visual Studio Code Shift + Alt + F делает то, что Ctrl + K + D делает в Visual Studio.

Вы всегда можете проверить привязки клавиш в меню:

Меню Файл → Настройки → Сочетания клавиш и фильтрация по ключевому слову «формат».

Хотя для изменения поведения по умолчанию для Visual Studio Code требуется расширение, вы можете переопределить поведение по умолчанию в рабочей области или на уровне пользователя. Он работает для большинства поддерживаемых языков (я могу гарантировать HTML, JavaScript и C #).

Tools and Tasks in Visual Studio Code

In this article, we’ll look at some of the tooling VS Code provides outside the core experience of writing code. VS Code lies somewhere between an editor and an IDE — while it may not have the amount of features commonly associated with an IDE, it does have a lot of functionality beyond editing. Working in a codebase often involves tasks beyond just editing code, so getting acquainted with some of this functionality may be helpful in your day-to-day work.

Be sure to check out part 1 — where we look at how to edit and navigate code efficiently — as well.

Workspaces

VS Code has a concept of workspaces — usually, a workspace is just the root folder of your project. ⌃ + r will bring up a list that let’s you quickly switch between recent files, but the list also includes workspaces. This means ⌃ + r functions as a quick way to switch between projects — press it, type some characters of the project name, and hit enter. The list is split into recent workspaces and recent files.

Switching between projects using «Quick Open Recent».

A workspace starts with you opening a folder in VS Code, but workspaces are not limited to a single root folder. You can add multiple folders to a workspace, for example if your project involves working on a client and a server component simultaneously. In this case, ⌃ + r won’t remember this workspace unless you explicitly save it in a file. VS Code will prompt you to do this as you close the workspace.

Cheat Sheet for Visual Studio Code

We’ve created a handy cheat sheet with keyboard shortcuts and some tips & tricks for VS Code. Download it for free!

Formatting

Automatic code formatting is listed here, but it could just as well have been in the article on editing. The reason is that auto-formatting replaces quite a few editing operations — instead of wrangling with editing shortcuts to get your code lined up, correctly wrapped and looking good, you just input your code without regard for formatting, hit a keyboard shortcut to format the file, and you’re good.

VS Code has commands for formatting the active file and the selected text, and built-in formatters for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON and HTML. Extensions can add formatters for these and other languages. The first time you choose to format a file, if you have multiple formatters for that file type installed, VS Code will ask you which formatter to use, and remember your choice for the future. If you later change your mind or if you install a new formatter you want to use for that file type, you can change the default formatter. This is done by running the command “Preferences: Configure Language Specific Settings…”, and selecting the relevant language. Here, you will find a setting called editor.defaultFormatter — you can either change this to what you want, using the available smart suggestions, or remove the setting altogether, and the next time you try to format a file, VS Code will ask you which formatter to use.

Terminal

By default, the built-in terminal starts up in the workspace root directory. This, along with other things including the shell used, can be configured. ⌃ + ⇧ + ` will start a new terminal. You can shift between the open terminals using the dropdown in the upper-right corner of the panel, or by setting up keyboard shortcuts for this. The terminal can be split as well, so you can have two shells available side-by-side. Finally, you can bind a keyboard shortcut to the command “View: Toggle Maximized Panel”, giving you a quick way to temporarily maximize the panel when doing more involved work.

In some cases, perhaps when you’re working on a shell script or checking build commands in a README, it’s useful to know that there’s a command to “Run Selected Text in Active Terminal”. There’s also a command to “Run Active File in Active Terminal”.

Having one or more terminals a keyboard shortcut away frequently comes in handy. It can be very useful for things like deployment and build commands, package management, running development servers or watchers… although for some of these purposes, the tasks support in VS Code, which we’ll get to next, can be used as well.

Tasks

In many programming projects, there are various tasks to be run. Building the project, deploying it, watching files for changes, running tests and generating documentation are examples of tasks that might play a part in a project. These tasks are often managed by tools like Rake for Ruby or gulp for web projects.

If the task auto-detection doesn’t cut it, you can also configure custom tasks in the tasks.json file, running a custom shell command for example. A custom task can be set as the default build command.

In addition to build and test tasks, the command “Tasks: Run Task” lets you select a task to run. Finally, tasks can be run by pressing ⌘ + p for «Quick Open», typing “task”, a space, and then the beginning of the name of the task or tool.

Final Words

This has been a quick look at some of the tooling support of VS Code. Generally, there’s a lot of configuration available for each of the systems covered here, and if you need more detail, the VS Code documentation is a good place to start. In addition, there are a lot of systems in VS Code not covered here: version control, debugging, extensions and more.

Lint and IntelliSense

In case the awesome nirvana that is linting has not yet been unleashed upon you:

lint was the name originally given to a particular program that flagged some suspicious and non-portable constructs (likely to be bugs) in C language source code. The term is now applied generically to tools that flag suspicious usage in software written in any computer language.

Unlike some other editors, VS Code supports IntelliSense, linting, outline out-of-the-box and doesn’t require any separate extension to run linter packages. Some linters are already integrated in VS Code, you can find the full list in the official documentation, Languages section.

JavaScript Extensions Part 2

October 31, 2016 by Wade Anderson, @waderyan_

Visual Studio Code has excellent support for JavaScript out of the box. As with other languages, JavaScript is powered by a language service. The JavaScript language service is implemented by the TypeScript team, allowing JavaScript developers to leverage the best IntelliSense experience.

But what other features can you get with VS Code? VS Code has a rich extensibility model and many features are provided through VS Code extensions. This post is a follow up to my previous post about JavaScript extensions.

Tip: Install any of these extensions by clicking the Extensions View button, typing the name of the extension in the Search box, and clicking Install. Learn more at Browse for extensions.

Debugger for Chrome

When you develop for the front end, you might not see the value of an integrated debugger in your editor. You use the browser’s debugger right? This is where the Debugger for Chrome extension comes in. This extension lets you debug your JavaScript code in the Google Chrome browser, or any other targets that support the Chrome Debugging Protocol while staying in VS Code. No more context switching to debug!

Prefer to debug using a different browser? You can find extensions for Edge and Firefox as well.

Git Project Manager

Although not necessarily a JavaScript extension, Git Project Manager is a favorite in the VS Code team. This extension scans a directory (or directories) for Git repos and allows you to switch between them easily.

To use this extension, first install it and then add the following configuration to your settings.json file.

Beautify

You can search the Marketplace for more formatters using the new Formatters category.

Note: For extension authors, we are working on a blog post for source code formatters best practices. Stay tuned as it will be coming soon.

Keymaps for Sublime Text and Atom

There are two extensions in this section, one for Atom and another for Sublime Text. If you have used these editors, you have likely memorized their keyboards shortcuts. These extensions bring the keyboard shortcuts from Atom and Sublime Text to VS Code.

These extensions are in preview because we want your feedback. There are still many shortcuts to include and it is easy for you to add any we may have missed.

Do you have other editors or IDEs you’d like to make a keymap for? Simply follow the instructions in the contributes.keybindings section and the Keybindings document.

It’s raining keyboard shortcuts

If you find that VS Code does not have a keyboard shortcut feature from Atom, Sublime Text or another product, please comment in one of these GitHub issues (Atom and Sublime Text) or create a new issue.

Additionally, there are many extensions in the Marketplace which add useful keyboard shortcuts:

[VSCode] Установите плагин форматирования кода Beautify

задний план

В процессе разработки, часто из-за некоторого копирования и вставки кода или некоторых вредных привычек при написании, читаемость кода относительно низкая. В настоящее время необходим подключаемый модуль форматирования кода, чтобы помочь нам отформатировать нестандартный код. VSCode Имеет большое количество подключаемых библиотек, наиболее представительной из которых является Beautify Вверх.

Настроить шаблон кода VUE

В процессе разработки мы неизбежно создадим несколько новых файлов, поэтому, когда мы создаем новый файл, можем ли мы подставить в него некоторую базовую информацию из файла VUE? Например, некоторые функции хуков и т. Д., Которые могут сэкономить нам много времени.

Затем вы можете ввести в него свой шаблон кода, например, я ввел следующее:

Форматирование кода

Сначала нужно идти vscode Установить в магазине Beautify После установки выполните следующие действия:

После добавления содержимого сохраните файл.Примечание. Здесь вы можете расширить дополнительные суффиксы.

Добавить спецификации форматирования кода

Это некоторые базовые конфигурации для предотвращения конфликтов с eslint. Вы также можете настроить и изменить их в соответствии с вашими предпочтениями, и вы можете проверить соответствующие документы, чтобы заполнить их.

Установить сочетания клавиш

Наконец, следуйте инструкциям, чтобы использовать клавиатуру для ввода нужных сочетаний клавиш, нажмите Enter, а затем настройка завершена, здесь я установил ее ctrl B возьми Beautify Инициалы. Таким образом, когда вы захотите отформатировать код в следующий раз, вы можете напрямую Ctrl B Вот и все. Разве это не очень удобно? Давайте настроим

7 расширений для VS Code, установив которые, вы не захотите выходить из редактора

Комментарии 64

Вы определитесь, пожалуйста, Auto Rename Tag (Auto Close Tag) — расширение для VS Code, установив которое, я не захочу выходить из редактора или ненужное расширение.

Можно через F2 переименовывать попарно, или через Ctrl+D если сразу несколько элементов.

расширение для VS Code, установив которое, я не захочу выходить из редактора или ненужное расширение

Расширение REST Client позволяет, прямо из VS Code, отправлять HTTP-запросы, и тут же просматривать ответы на них

Оно позволяет форматировать код. Beautify поддерживает JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Sass и JSON

ничего не имею против vscode, но в vim для такого даже расширения не нужны 🙂

Да что уж там) Лучше сразу на ассемблере писать, тогда и запросы не нужны 🙂

CSS Peak — классная штука. Но конфликтовал с Angular файлам, пришлось удалить. Не знаю, пофиксили уже или нет.

Beautify — слишком много настроек… Заменил на Prettier и счастлив.

Извините, если много спама к одному посту

О! А я наоборот, не могу перейти в WebStorm) Он манил меня некоторыми фичами, но UI/UX… Чувствую себя у штурвала космического корабля.

По мне, главное, при начале работы с VSCode, настроить авто форматирование при сохранении, и авто исправление ошибок. Исправление ошибок делают расширения Eslint, Tslint. Настроив это, VSCode превращается в пушку, которая пишет код за тебя. (Предполагаю, что WebStorm умеет не хуже, но много раз встречал людей, у которых и половины функционала из VSCode не работало в платной WebStorm)

На самом деле у Web Storm есть только один большой плюс, все идет из коробки, не надо искать плагины. Есть всякие мелкие плюшки (навигация из шаблонов класс для Angular), которых нет в VSC, удобная работа с VCS (это на любителя конечно), Code Inspection отличный, рефакторинги (вот этого не хватает в VSC).

Я, конечно, не он, но тем не менее:

В целом, шторм ощущается именно как IDE — полноценная среда для разработки, в которой есть все, а чего нет — можно доставить плагином.
Я много раз пробовал в VSCode, но в конечном счете он как был, так и остался для меня редактором. Да, с плагинами можно подтянуть его за уши, но воткнув в него столько плагинов, чтобы он хоть как-то походил на IDE, приходишь к выводу что шторм не такой уж и медленный а UX не такой уж и ужасный. Это тот момент, который часто опускают любители VSCode.

Whenever we’re working on any project, It’s important to have a default formatter set up for your Code Editor.

This will improve your productivity by not wasting time in formatting the code If the line gets longer and does not fit on screen.

Also, using a formatter avoids bugs in your code so you will clearly see where your specific block starts and where it ends and helps to identify matching brackets in the code.

So in this article, we will see how to set up Prettier formatter in Visual Studio Code(VS Code).

So let’s get started.

Automatically Format Code On File Save

Install the Prettier extension for VS Code which formats code written in Javascript, Angular, Vue, React, Typescript and many other languages.

Installation

Usage

That’s it! Congratulation! You have configured prettier to format as per the default settings.

Now, open any JavaScript/React code. Let’s say your code looks like this:

If you don’t see the code formatted automatically on file save then it might be because you have multiple formatters installed in VS Code. Follow the below steps to get it working.

Now If you save any file then you will see the file formatted properly.

If you have code like this:

Then on saving, it will be formatted like this:

So now, you don’t have to worry about adding or removing space or moving code to the second line if it does not fit on one line. Prettier does that job for you.

Now, write the code any way you want and just save the file to format it.

This will make you more productive as you will not be wasting your time in formatting code.

But sometimes, it may happen that, you don’t want the formatting done by prettier and you want to keep your own formatting for a particular file, then you can follow the following step:

Advanced Configurations

If you want more control over the formatting, prettier also allows that.

SingleQuote: false will use double quotes instead of single quotes for strings in your code

trailingComma: «none» will remove all trailing commas from object declaration in your file

You can find more configuration options HERE.

Thanks for reading!

In this course, you will build 3 apps along with a food ordering app and you’ll learn:

and then finally we’ll build a complete food ordering app from scratch with stripe integration for accepting payments and deploy it to the production.

VSCodeBeautify’s Introduction

js-beautify for VS Code

How we determine what settings to use

When not using a multi-root workspace:

When using a multi-root workspace: Same as above, but the search ends at the nearest parent workspace root to the open file.

Note that the html.format settings will ONLY be used when the document is html. javascript.format settings are included always.

Also runs html and css beautify from the same package, as determined by the file extension. The schema indicates which beautifier each of the settings pertains to.

Settings are inherited from the base of the file. Thus:

Will result in the indent_size being set to 4 for JavaScript and HTML, but set to 2 for CSS. All will get the same indent_char setting.

If the file is unsaved, or the type is undetermined, you’ll be prompted for which beautifier to use.

You can control which file types, extensions, or specific file names should be beautified with the beautify.language setting.

Beautify on save will be enabled when «editor.formatOnSave» is true.

Beautification on particular files using the built in Format Document (which includes formatting on save) can be skipped with the beautify.ignore option. Using the Beautify file and Beautify selection will still work. For files opened from within the workspace directory, the glob patterns will match from the workspace folder root. For files opened from elsewhere, or when no workspace is open, the patterns will match from the system root.

Note that the glob patterns are not used to test against the containing folder. You must match the filename as well.

In a previous post, VS Code: You don’t need that extension part 2, I discussed how you may not need an extension for (prettily) formatting your code (see item 5). You can use the built-in formatters for a number of languages. However, at that time, the advice I gave came with some caveats.

VS Code has builtin formatters for HTML, JavaScript, TypeScript, and JSON. This is a decent basis for frontend developers and JavaScript-oriented backend developers. However, there was nothing for CSS and CSS-like syntaxes. A big omission in my opinion!

This has been rectified in v1.66 (March 2022). The built-in CSS extension now ships with a formatter. The formatter works with CSS, LESS, and SCSS. It is implemented using the JS Beautify library. 🌟

Settings for languages with builtin formatters

To use the builtin formatters, you can add the following settings to your Settings.json:

Exit fullscreen mode

Since VS Code uses the JS Beautify library under the hood, which is also used by the Beautify extension, you can expect similar results to that extension. This may or may not to your taste, but it does a solid job.

Your mileage may vary for the formating of JSONC, it is asking the JSON Language Features extension to deal with “illegal” comments, but it appears to manage without issues. I don’t use React, so I can’t comment how well React code is formatted.

Settings added to control the formatting of CSS, LESS, and SCSS

You configure how the formatting is done with the following settings:

‘ (for example, a > b ).

The same settings also exist for Less and SCSS. Maybe more of JSBeautify’s configuration options will be exposed later on. We will see, I guess!

Final word

For frontend developers and JavaScript-oriented backend developers, the builtin formatters should have you covered now. As long as you happy with the output, then you may not need another formatting extension.

And since, many language support extensions are also formatters e.g. Python, Language Support for Java by Red Hat, Ruby, YAML, XML Tools, Vetur for Vue, and Svelte for VS Code. Now, it is easier than ever to forgo using a dedicated formatter extension! 🆒

Discussion (29)

OR. just hear me out.

You could hit «tab» when typing and also the «,» and «enter». and get pretty much the same results. With some practice you’ll get it all right automatically and you’ll also understand your code better because it wasn’t a tool that organized it for you. The experience of formatting it yourself helps your brain remember it better, just like taking notes in class helps you learn the material better. There’s little to no effort to doing this as you go and it can be very beneficial to your skills as a developer in the long run.

Something to think about before you install that next helpful tool.

I tend to disagree that there is little to no effort in manually formatting your code. In my own experience, formatting code takes up precious cognitive load that I’d rather spend working through my code logic.

For example, I know I want to:

All of the above are just personal preferences, but I don’t want to have to think about any of this. Instead, I want to focus on converting business logic into coding syntax, and having to pause every few moments to throw in an arbitrary semicolon or fix the indentation of an entire block just takes me out of «the flow».

I’d suggest taking the extension settings a step further—configuring Prettier not only to auto-format your code on save, but to also display formatting suggestions inline using yellow wiggly underlines. That way you have the benefit of learning why a formatting rule is getting applied, as well as the auto-format on save. You get the learning plus the time savings.

You mention in a later comment that:

For me, when coding, especially javascript, it helps to do the formatting myself because it also helps me «see» the «scope» of my methods and classes, so my brain can quickly spot where a scope starts and ends, also helps me make less mistakes when creating new objects, or modifying existing stuff.

Again, I’d argue that extensions like Bracket Colorizer (which is now a built in function of VS Code) helps immensely with block scope visibility.

Lastly, your comment regarding «complex tasks» in relation to web dev is quite dismissive:

Now depending on what kinda coding/programming you guys do, i understand the «focusing on more complex tasks», but really, i’ve been doing this 16 years myself and in web dev there are few things that i would call «complex tasks».

Complex tasks come in all shapes and sizes. They can be laborious and intensive, such as refactoring a legacy component for use in a newer framework. They can be more investigative, such as debugging a complex pipeline build issue with Webpack. Or they might have nothing to do with the code at all, such as having to sporadically context switch between development tasks, support tasks, meetings and the other umpteen distractions flowing through the door. All of these things have something in common—they take up previous cognitive load and focus. Adding manual code formatting on top of that seems like an extra burden to me.

Work smarter, not harder. 🤓

I still avoid Prettier like hell, because working for an agency i have to work with client code across various platforms, codebases, often in different languages, etc etc. Worse, some clients enforce their own rules like «standards js» or some other configurationg for formatting that i have to follow.

Getting yelled at by «avoiding insulting people here» because my formatting didn’t match their is low on my list of things i like, so i look at the code i’m editing and make my changes match as best i can.

Funny thing, in some cases i make my formatting absolutely different on purpose because I want to come back later and go «This is my code, that is not my code» especially in really old applications that i have to still support, or when clients get to be a pain and nitpick every bug as «you made a change last week, this is your fault». Anywho, that’s a different discussion altogether.

You’re right, i was being dismissive with the «web dev is easy» bit.
Frankly, I’d say 99% of what we do is easy, once you’ve gotten good at it, or maybe it’s «once you’ve seen enough bugs to recognize them before you know the details»
There are times when bugs stump people and can take days to resolve, but those are few and far between.
The industry is largely people with less than 10, or less than 5 years exp and a lot of things seem hard during those years, but with enough experience i think most of it is pretty damn easy.

eg. Centering a div is a nightmare for newbies, but a year or two in, you copy paste a solution you’ve used fifty times before and don’t even think about it.
In JS you can say arrays and loops are hard when you start, but a few years in and you don’t even think twice when using the various looping methods and you’ve realized everything is an object.
In PHP handling session variables, setting cookies, writing crons all seem complex, until you’ve done em a few dozen times.

I try to work smarter not harder 🙂
Whenever I get to code from scratch i write it as simple as possible with the goal being «Me or anyone else has to understand this 6 months or a year from now».

I really think web dev has been made overly complex by implementing more and more «programming» things that work well for desktop applications and computer programs, but have only added weight and bloat to the web. Things it’s never really needed. But again, that’s a discussion for another time.

Turn off auto formatting for json files in Visual Studio Code

12 Answers 12

Trending sort

Trending sort is based off of the default sorting method — by highest score — but it boosts votes that have happened recently, helping to surface more up-to-date answers.

It falls back to sorting by highest score if no posts are trending.

Switch to Trending sort

EDIT: Uninstall the extension, there are many other far better maintained formatters out there (e.g. Beautify)

OK, check if you have installed this extension: «JS-CSS-HTML formatter».

After selecting that option, a file named formatter.json opens and all you do is edit the property (named onSave) from having true to being false.

Restart vs code and voilà!! It stopped auto formatting. (yay. )

I am using the below version of VS Code

And turned it off with the following steps:

Now follow these image instructions:

on Windows :
STEP 1 : Press CTRL + K then
STEP 2 : Press CTRL + Shift + S

on MAC :
STEP 1 : Press CMD + K then
STEP 2 : Press S

look for Settings.json into «project/.vscode/settings.json»

Worth to note

I like the json formatting that is enabled by default but only wanted to disable it when editing certain files (i.e. I didn’t want some massive json files expanded after formatting).

To exclude those certain files from auto formatting, I made my changes and saved without formatting.

Vs code beautify code

Visual Studio Code is an editor first and foremost, and includes the features you need for highly productive source code editing. This topic takes you through the basics of the editor and helps you get moving with your code.

Being able to keep your hands on the keyboard when writing code is crucial for high productivity. VS Code has a rich set of default keyboard shortcuts as well as allowing you to customize them.

Multiple selections (multi-cursor)

Note: Your graphics card driver (for example NVIDIA) might overwrite these default shortcuts.

kb(editor.action.addSelectionToNextFindMatch) selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection.

If you’d like to change the modifier key for applying multiple cursors to kbstyle(Cmd+Click) on macOS and kbstyle(Ctrl+Click) on Windows and Linux, you can do so with the editor.multiCursorModifier setting. This lets users coming from other editors such as Sublime Text or Atom continue to use the keyboard modifier they are familiar with.

The setting can be set to:

There’s also a menu item Use Ctrl+Click for Multi-Cursor in the Selection menu to quickly toggle this setting.

Here’s an example of expanding the selection with kb(editor.action.smartSelect.expand) :

Column (box) selection

Place the cursor in one corner and then hold kbstyle(Shift+Alt) while dragging to the opposite corner:

Note: This changes to kbstyle(Shift+Ctrl/Cmd) when using kbstyle(Ctrl/Cmd) as multi-cursor modifier.

There are also default key bindings for column selection on macOS and Windows, but not on Linux.

You can edit your keybindings.json to bind them to something more familiar if you want.

Column Selection mode

The user setting Editor: Column Selection controls this feature. Once this mode is entered, as indicated in the Status bar, the mouse gestures and the arrow keys will create a column selection by default. This global toggle is also accessible via the Selection > Column Selection Mode menu item. In addition, one can also disable Column Selection mode from the Status bar.

Save / Auto Save

VS Code will remember unsaved changes to files when you exit by default. Hot exit is triggered when the application is closed via File > Exit (Code > Quit on macOS) or when the last window is closed.

You can configure hot exit by setting files.hotExit to the following values:

If something happens to go wrong with hot exit, all backups are stored in the following folders for standard install locations:

Find and Replace

VS Code allows you to quickly find text and replace in the currently opened file. Press kb(actions.find) to open the Find Widget in the editor, search results will be highlighted in the editor, overview ruler and minimap.

If there are more than one matched result in the current opened file, you can press kb(editor.action.nextMatchFindAction) and kb(editor.action.previousMatchFindAction) to navigate to next or previous result when the find input box is focused.

Seed Search String From Selection

When the Find Widget is opened, it will automatically populate the selected text in the editor into the find input box. If the selection is empty, the word under the cursor will be inserted into the input box instead.

Find In Selection

By default, the find operations are run on the entire file in the editor. It can also be run on selected text. You can turn this feature on by clicking the hamburger icon on the Find Widget.

Advanced find and replace options

In addition to find and replace with plain text, the Find Widget also has three advanced search options:

The replace input box support case preserving, you can turn it on by clicking the Preserve Case (AB) button.

Multiline support and Find Widget resizing

You can search multiple line text by pasting the text into the Find input box and Replace input box. Pressing Ctrl+Enter inserts a new line in the input box.

While searching long text, the default size of Find Widget might be too small. You can drag the left sash to enlarge the Find Widget or double click the left sash to maximize it or shrink it to its default size.

Search across files

VS Code allows you to quickly search over all files in the currently opened folder. Press kb(workbench.view.search) and enter your search term. Search results are grouped into files containing the search term, with an indication of the hits in each file and its location. Expand a file to see a preview of all of the hits within that file. Then single-click on one of the hits to view it in the editor.

Tip: We support regular expression searching in the search box, too.

You can configure advanced search options by clicking the ellipsis (Toggle Search Details) below the search box on the right (or press kb(workbench.action.search.toggleQueryDetails) ). This will show additional fields to configure the search.

Advanced search options

VS Code excludes some folders by default to reduce the number of search results that you are not interested in (for example: node_modules ). Open settings to change these rules under the files.exclude and search.exclude section.

Tip: From the Explorer, you can right-click on a folder and select Find in Folder to search inside a folder only.

Search and replace

You can also Search and Replace across files. Expand the Search widget to display the Replace text box.

When you type text into the Replace text box, you will see a diff display of the pending changes. You can replace across all files from the Replace text box, replace all in one file or replace a single change.

Tip: You can quickly reuse a previous search term by using kb(history.showNext) and kb(history.showPrevious) to navigate through your search term history.

Case changing in regex replace

Search Editors let you view workspace search results in a full-sized editor, complete with syntax highlighting and optional lines of surrounding context.

Below is a search for the word ‘SearchEditor’ with two lines of text before and after the match for context:

The Open Search Editor command opens an existing Search Editor if one exists, or to otherwise create a new one. The New Search Editor command will always create a new Search Editor.

In the Search Editor, results can be navigated to using Go to Definition actions, such as kb(editor.action.revealDefinition) to open the source location in the current editor group, or kb(editor.action.revealDefinitionAside) to open the location in an editor to the side. Additionally, double-clicking can optionally open the source location, configurable with the search.searchEditor.doubleClickBehaviour setting.

You can also use the Open New Search Editor button at the top of the Search view, and can copy your existing results from a Search view over to a Search Editor with the Open in editor link at the top of the results tree, or the Search Editor: Open Results in Editor command.

The Search Editor above was opened by selecting the Open New Search Editor button (third button) on the top of the Search view.

Search Editor commands and arguments

For example, the following keybinding runs the search when the Search Editor is opened but leaves the focus in the search query control.

Search Editor context default

The search.searchEditor.defaultNumberOfContextLines setting has a default value of 1, meaning one context line will be shown before and after each result line in the Search Editor.

Reuse last Search Editor configuration

The search.searchEditor.reusePriorSearchConfiguration setting (default is false ) lets you reuse the last active Search Editor’s configuration when creating a new Search Editor.

Tip: The suggestions filtering supports CamelCase so you can type the letters which are upper cased in a method name to limit the suggestions. For example, «cra» will quickly bring up «createApplication».

Tip: IntelliSense suggestions can be configured via the editor.quickSuggestions and editor.suggestOnTriggerCharacters settings.

JavaScript and TypeScript developers can take advantage of the npmjs type declaration (typings) file repository to get IntelliSense for common JavaScript libraries (Node.js, React, Angular). You can find a good explanation on using type declaration files in the JavaScript language topic and the Node.js tutorial.

VS Code has great support for source code formatting. The editor has two explicit format actions:

You can invoke these from the Command Palette ( kb(workbench.action.showCommands) ) or the editor context menu.

VS Code has default formatters for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, and HTML. Each language has specific formatting options (for example, html.format.indentInnerHtml ) which you can tune to your preference in your user or workspace settings. You can also disable the default language formatter if you have another extension installed that provides formatting for the same language.

Along with manually invoking code formatting, you can also trigger formatting based on user gestures such as typing, saving or pasting. These are off by default but you can enable these behaviors through the following settings:

Note: Not all formatters support format on paste as to do so they must support formatting a selection or range of text.

In addition to the default formatters, you can find extensions on the Marketplace to support other languages or formatting tools. There is a Formatters category so you can easily search and find formatting extensions. In the Extensions view search box, type ‘formatters’ or ‘category:formatters’ to see a filtered list of extensions within VS Code.

You can fold regions of source code using the folding icons on the gutter between line numbers and line start. Move the mouse over the gutter and click to fold and unfold regions. Use kbstyle(Shift + Click) on the folding icon to fold or unfold the region and all regions inside.

You can also use the following actions:

Folding regions are by default evaluated based on the indentation of lines. A folding region starts when a line has a smaller indent than one or more following lines, and ends when there is a line with the same or smaller indent.

Folding regions can also be computed based on syntax tokens of the editor’s configured language. The following languages already provide syntax aware folding: Markdown, HTML, CSS, LESS, SCSS, and JSON.

If you prefer to switch back to indentation-based folding for one (or all) of the languages above, use:

Regions can also be defined by markers defined by each language. The following languages currently have markers defined:

To fold and unfold only the regions defined by markers use:

The command Create Manual Folding Ranges from Selection ( kb(editor.createFoldingRangeFromSelection) ) creates a folding range from the currently selected lines and collapses it. That range is called a manual folding range that goes on top of the ranges computed by folding providers.

Manual folding ranges can be removed with the command Remove Manual Folding Ranges ( kb(editor.removeManualFoldingRanges) ).

Manual folding ranges are especially useful for cases when there isn’t programming language support for folding.

VS Code lets you control text indentation and whether you’d like to use spaces or tab stops. By default, VS Code inserts spaces and uses 4 spaces per kbstyle(Tab) key. If you’d like to use another default, you can modify the editor.insertSpaces and editor.tabSize settings.

VS Code analyzes your open file and determines the indentation used in the document. The auto-detected indentation overrides your default indentation settings. The detected setting is displayed on the right side of the Status Bar:

You can click on the Status Bar indentation display to bring up a dropdown with indentation commands allowing you to change the default settings for the open file or convert between tab stops and spaces.

Note: VS Code auto-detection checks for indentations of 2, 4, 6 or 8 spaces. If your file uses a different number of spaces, the indentation may not be correctly detected. For example, if your convention is to indent with 3 spaces, you may want to turn off editor.detectIndentation and explicitly set the tab size to 3.

File encoding support

Set the file encoding globally or per workspace by using the files.encoding setting in User Settings or Workspace Settings.

You can view the file encoding in the status bar.

Click on the encoding button in the status bar to reopen or save the active file with a different encoding.

Then choose an encoding.

Is it possible to globally search and replace?

Yes, expand the Search view text box to include a replace text field. You can search and replace across all the files in your workspace. Note that if you did not open VS Code on a folder, the search will only run on the currently open files.

Automatically format code in Visual Studio Code when working with JavaScript and React with Prettier

Increase your productivity by not wasting time in formatting the code

In this article, we will explore the very popular Visual Studio Code extension Prettier which is as the name suggests, formats the code pretty well.

Prettier is an Opinionated Code Formatter which formats code written in Javascript, Angular, Vue, React, Typescript and many other languages.

1. Click on the extension’s icon in VS Code

2. Search for “prettier”

3. You will see the extension from Prettier

4. Click on the install button

5. Hit the Reload button or restart the VS Code, once the extension is installed

To automatically format the file on saving, In Visual Studio Code, press Control + Shift + P or Command + Shift + P (Mac) to open command palette and type setting and then select “ Preferences: Open User Settings ” option

Search for “ format on save ” setting and check the checkbox.

That’s it! Congratulation! You have configured prettier to format as per the default settings.

Now, open any React code. Let’s say your code looks like this

If you save the file using Ctrl + S (Command + S for Mac), the prettier will format your code as shown below

This is much nicer and as per the React style guidelines.

If you have code like this

Then on saving, it will be formatted like this

If you have code like this

Prettier will remove the unnecessary brackets and will shorten the code as shown below

So now, you don’t have to worry about adding space or moving code to the second line if it does not fit on one line. Prettier does that job for you automatically.

This will make you more productive as you will not be wasting your time in formatting

Advanced Configurations

If you want more control over the formatting, prettier also allows that.

SingleQuote: true will use single quotes instead of double quotes for strings in your code

trailingComma: «none» will remove all trailing commas from object declaration in your file

You can find all the configuration options HERE.

That’s it for today. Hope you learned something new today.

Format Files

Format Files README

Formats all files in the current workspace/selected folder/glob. Due to the limitations in VSCode API, this opens each file, runs formatting command, saves the file (other save actions are started as well, to support features such as tslint.autoFixOnSave on typescript files), then closes it. The time to complete depends on the number of files and how large the files are.

Usage

Will prompt to confirms to start formatting, check Format Files in Output pane for list of files that will be formatted

A progress bar will appear on bottom right to indicate it’s status

Options

Requirements

Each extension needs a formatter installed for it to work, or else the VSCode formatter will display an error that it does not have a formatter for the given extension.

Some recommended formatters:

I have been using VS Code for a while now and I am loving it. But there is a small problem with code formatting. It does not work in handlebars ( *.hbs ) files. This option is simply unavailable while editing hbs file.

Any help (or explanation of what am I doing wrong) on that topic would be much appreciated.

EDIT: Same issue applies to *.scss files. Can not format those either.

VSCodeBeautify’s Introduction

js-beautify for VS Code

How we determine what settings to use

When not using a multi-root workspace:

When using a multi-root workspace: Same as above, but the search ends at the nearest parent workspace root to the open file.

Note that the html.format settings will ONLY be used when the document is html. javascript.format settings are included always.

Also runs html and css beautify from the same package, as determined by the file extension. The schema indicates which beautifier each of the settings pertains to.

Settings are inherited from the base of the file. Thus:

Will result in the indent_size being set to 4 for JavaScript and HTML, but set to 2 for CSS. All will get the same indent_char setting.

If the file is unsaved, or the type is undetermined, you’ll be prompted for which beautifier to use.

You can control which file types, extensions, or specific file names should be beautified with the beautify.language setting.

Beautify on save will be enabled when «editor.formatOnSave» is true.

Beautification on particular files using the built in Format Document (which includes formatting on save) can be skipped with the beautify.ignore option. Using the Beautify file and Beautify selection will still work. For files opened from within the workspace directory, the glob patterns will match from the workspace folder root. For files opened from elsewhere, or when no workspace is open, the patterns will match from the system root.

Note that the glob patterns are not used to test against the containing folder. You must match the filename as well.
