Visual Studio Code has built in formatters for TypeScript, C# and Go, but I want formatters for html, scss and javascript as well. Visual Studio Code provides a formatting API, so other developers can create formatters for programming languages. There is a great blog article on how to write a. Formatting code You can use Visual Studio to automatically format your code so that your code is written consistently. The following two commands explicitly format your code: Format Document (Edit → Advanced → Format Document, or Ctrl + K, then Ctrl + D) – Formats the entire active file.

Default Formatter

Code formatting is supported using either one of yapf or autopep8.
Install catalina terminal. The default code format provider is autopep8.

Auto Formatting

Formatting the source code as and when you save the contents of the file is supported.
Enabling this requires configuring the setting 'editor.formatOnSave': true as identified here.

Paths

All samples provided here are for windows.
However Mac/Linux paths are also supported.

AutoPep8

You can configure the format provider by changing a setting in the User or Workspace settings file as follows:

Installing autopep8

Custom Path

This is generally unnecessary. As the Extension will resolve the path to the formatter based on Python executable being used or configured in python.pythonPath of settings.json. If this cannot be found, then the formatter will be resolved based on the current environment Path settings.

If this is not the case or you wish to use another version of autopep8, all you need to do is configure the path as follows either in the User or Workspace settings file:

Yapf

You can configure the format provider by changing a setting in the User or Workspace settings file as follows:

Custom Path

This is generally unnecessary. As the Extension will resolve the path to the formatter based on Python executable being used or configured in python.pythonPath of settings.json. If this cannot be found, then the formatter will be resolved based on the current environment Path settings.

If this is not the case or you wish to use another version of yapf, all you need to do is configure the path as follows either in the User or Workspace settings file:

Custom arguments to Yapf

Custom arguments can be passed into yaps by configuring the settings in the User or Workspace settings as follows:

Installing Yapf

pip install yapf

Formatting rules affect how indentation, spaces, and new lines are aligned around .NET programming language constructs. The rules fall into the following categories:

• .NET formatting rules: Rules that apply to both C# and Visual Basic. The EditorConfig option names for these rules start with dotnet_ prefix.
• C# formatting rules: Rules that are specific to C# language only. The EditorConfig option names for these rules start with csharp_ prefix.

Rule ID: 'IDE0055' (Fix formatting)

All formatting options have rule ID IDE0055 and title Fix formatting. Set the severity of a formatting violation in an EditorConfig file using the following configuration line.

The severity value must be warning or error to be enforced on build. For all possible severity values, see severity level.

Option format

Options for formatting rules can be specified in an EditorConfig file with the following format:

rule_name = value

For many rules, you specify either true (prefer this style) or false (do not prefer this style) for value. For other rules, you specify a value such as flush_left or before_and_after to describe when and where to apply the rule. You don't specify a severity.

.NET formatting rules

The formatting rules in this section apply to both C# and Visual Basic.

• Organize usings
  • dotnet_sort_system_directives_first
  • dotnet_separate_import_directive_groups

Organize using directives

These formatting rules concern the sorting and display of using directives and Imports statements.

Example .editorconfig file:

dotnet_sort_system_directives_first

Code examples:

dotnet_separate_import_directive_groups

Code examples:

C# formatting rules

The formatting rules in this section apply only to C# code.

New-line options

These formatting rules concern the use of new lines to format code.

Example .editorconfig file:

csharp_new_line_before_open_brace

This rule concerns whether an open brace { should be placed on the same line as the preceding code, or on a new line. For this rule, you specify all, none, or one or more code elements such as methods or properties, to define when this rule should be applied. To specify multiple code elements, separate them with a comma (,).
