Configure your project by creating or updating a settings.json file at the project's root. If you already have a .vscode/settings.json file, skip the first two steps.
Open the command palette in VSCode:
CTRL + SHIFT + P (Windows)
CMD + SHIFT + P (Mac OS)
Type Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON).
In the .vscode/settings.json file, copy and paste the following settings:
{
"spark.files.include": [
"php"
], // The file extensions to watch for changes. Example: "php"
"spark.files.exclude": [
"**/vendor/**",
"**/.*/**"
], // The files to exclude from watching. Example: "**/vendor/**", "**/.*/**"
"spark.files.watch": [
"helpers"
], // The types of files to watch for changes. Example: "helpers"
"spark.files.showPath": true, // Show the path of the file in the list of files to watch
}
Restart VS Code
Your project is now set up to automatically format code upon saving.
