By default, this is false so make sure that you tick the checkbox. Go to Settings in your VS Code Preferences and search for the Format On Save option. If you want to auto-format your files on Save, you need to change a setting. So now that we have two formatters, we have to let VS Code know that in the future, when it comes to formatting, we want to use Prettier. VS Code already has a formatter, it just isn’t as powerful as Prettier. The first time you do this you need to select the default formatter. Or select part of a file then select Format Selection. The default behavior is that once you've installed the extension you can right-click within a file then select Format Document. Installing the extension doesn’t format your files automatically on save by default. In VS Code go to the Extensions panel, search for Prettier, and then install it. To make it work, first, you have to install the Prettier extension. It also adds parentheses to improve code readability, makes sure you are consistent with quotation marks, and many more. It doesn't just fix tabulation and wrap the lines. It formats the code based on best practices. Then you just save the file, and magically, everything looks as it should be. The tabulation is off, a line is too long, and so on. Let’s say you copy-pasted something from Stack Overflow and it’s hard to read. Prettier is an extension that makes your code more readable and more consistent. Let’s walk through two extensions that are must-haves. One of the greatest features of all the mainstream editors is that you can add extensions to them. You can learn which tools and libraries people love to use and which ones will they abandon soon. It can give you a great overview of the latest trends with JavaScript. If you haven’t checked out the State of JS surveys before, I highly recommend that you do. In this survey, more than 23,000 developers were asked about their preferences regarding web development. Here’s a chart from the latest edition of the State of JS survey.
Lately, VS Code has become the de facto standard editor for web development. If you don’t have a personal preference, I’d highly recommend VS Code. Picking an editor is highly based on personal preference as most editors have very similar features. As a web developer, you mostly edit text, so you need a good editor. We'll cover things like must-have editor extensions, how to add JavaScript libraries to your project, why you'll use Node.js even if you want to do front end development, and how to set up an application bundler that will generate a live preview as you code in your browser. To solve this problem, in this article I’m going to walk you through how to set up a front end project from scratch. The JavaScript ecosystem is changing so fast that it can be overwhelming to pick the best tools to use. Before you start, you want to set up a few tools to make your life easier.
