About VSCode formatting JS automatically adding or removing semicolons

introduction

It is okay to add or not add a semicolon at the end of a js code sentence. Generally, when developing a team, a unified standard is required, either adding a semicolon or not. However, sometimes we can remember to add a semicolon, and sometimes we can't remember to add it. This will cause some of our codes to have semicolons and some not, which will be messy. To solve this problem, we can use a formatter to help us automatically add or remove semicolons at the end of sentences.

The specific operation method is to type some js code first, and then use it to see the effect. If you have downloaded a lot of plug-ins and have a bunch of js formatters, then you need to configure the default formatter.

Select Configure Default Formatter

Select the js formatter that comes with VSCode

Open Settings

Open the settings json file

Add a javascript.format.semicolons property

This attribute has three values.

The first type ignore

"javascript.format.semicolons": "ignore",

This is the default value of this property. When formatting, do not delete or add semicolons. It does not matter what happens. It is the same as when there is no configuration. I will not demonstrate it.

The second insert

"javascript.format.semicolons": "insert",

When formatting, add a semicolon at the end of the sentence, the effect is as follows:

The third type remove

"javascript.format.semicolons": "remove",

When formatting, no semicolon is added at the end of the sentence, and the effect is as follows:

If you need other code formatting related configurations, you can send me a private message in the comment area. I may write a few more articles about formatting configuration in the future.
