Making VSCode your own

Everyone likes their own look and here is mine!

  • The text is large and comfortable! (Font size 14)
  • I prefer a dark mode with colours
  • I use the Prettier+ extension

To change any of these settings in VSCode, use the settings cog.

Text Editor: Prettier-Plus!

Prettier-Plus is amazing and I use it in preference to other extensions because it does exactly what I want. I am sure there are other extensions just as good, I just don't know about them!

My settings are:

  • Editor: Default Formatter - svipas.prettierier-on
  • Editor: Font Size -- 14
  • Editor: Format On Paste - On
  • Editor: Format On Save- On

Editor: Format On Paste - On

Workbench:

  • Workbench: Color Theme - Dark+

Extensions:

  • Emmet: Enable Emmet abbreviations - On
    Using a mapping here {"javascript": "javascriptreact"}
  • Prettier: Jsx Bracket Same Line - On
    Put the '>' of a multi-line JSX element at the end of the last line instead of being alone on the next line (does not apply to self closing elements).
  • Prettier: Jsx Single Quote - On
    Use single quotes instead of double quotes in JSX.
  • Prettier: SemiPrint - On
    semicolons at the ends of statements.
  • Prettier: Single Quote - On
    Use single quotes instead of double quotes.
  • Prettier: Use Tabs - On
    Indent lines with tabs instead of spaces.

I hope it is of some use to you 😊
