How do you format code on save in VS Code

As of September 2016 (VSCode 1.6), this is now officially supported.

Add the following to your settings.json file:

"editor.formatOnSave": true

No need to add commands anymore. For those who are new to Visual Studio Code and searching for an easy way to format code on saving, kindly follow the below steps.

1. Open Settings by pressing [Cmd+,] in Mac or using the below screenshot.

2. Type 'format' in the search box and enable the option 'Format On Save'.

You are done. Thank you.

If you would like to auto format on save just with Javascript source, add this one into Users Setting (press CmdShiftP or CtrlShiftP then type Open Settings (JSON) to open settings.json file)

"[javascript]": { "editor.formatOnSave": true }
