Prettier is a simple code format that automatically formats your code when saving the source file and automatically adds the missing semicolon in your code.

And don't forget to share your settings with the community.Today, we will explore another Visual Studio code extension Prettier that helps you to auto-format the code in Visual Studio Code. However, when you feel the editor should behave differently, try to search for the option and set it to your preference.

There are so many meaningful settings in VS Code. It makes it easier to find and navigate certain parts of code for me. I find it quite useful, especially with longer files. I am using minimap since I first saw this feature in Sublime Text. I also like to keep the current window opened after closing the last tab and open recently closed window in “windowed”, not full-screen mode. If you also want to see the modified indicator in your current VS Code window, go to Settings, search “Window: Title”, and add $' ,īesides already mentioned Window Title settings, I like to open files in the current window, open folders in the new window, inherit windows size for the new window and restore all windows after the restart.

Although I already knew about this super useful setting, it made me revisit my VS Code settings.īy the way, the setting could be found as “Workbench > Editor: Highlight Modified Tabs” in VS Code Settings. Last week I saw an interesting tweet about showing modified tabs in the VS Code from Matt Bierner.
