FormatExt for VS Code

Point to your custom formatter without installing a bunch of VS Code extensions.

Set your paths and target extensions in Settings.

Custom formatters VS Code Settings screen

Settings (JSON):

"formatExt.formatters": {
  "prettier --stdin-filepath ${file}": ".js,.ts"
}

  "editor.formatOnSave": true

Side Notes

  • Ensure editor.defaultFormatter is set to 1hue.format-ext.

  • Formatting is off in Restricted Mode.

  • For logs and errors check the VS Code's Output panel (FormatExt).

  • Works well with containerised 1hue/devtools.
