My Visual Studio Code setup

Microsoft Visual Studio Code is so popular among developers around the world.

We have lot of customization options to do with our code.

How I setup my VS Code for development?

Theme - Ayu or GitHub

Icon - Ayu or vscode-icons

Font - Fira Code or Cascadia Code → free

In settings.json

`
{

“files.autoSave”: “afterDelay”,

“editor.fontFamily”: “‘Fira Code’, Consolas, ‘Courier New’, monospace”,

“editor.renderWhitespace”: “boundary”,

“editor.cursorStyle”: “line”,

“editor.wordWrap”: “on”,

“editor.letterSpacing”: 0.5,

“editor.lineHeight”: 25,

“editor.cursorBlinking”: “expand”,

“editor.cursorSmoothCaretAnimation”: true,

“editor.cursorWidth”: 5,

“editor.fontLigatures”: true,

“editor.fontWeight”: “normal”,

“workbench.colorTheme”: “Ayu Mirage”,

“workbench.iconTheme”: “ayu”,

“eslint.alwaysShowStatus”: true,

“liveServer.settings.CustomBrowser”: “chrome”,

“liveServer.settings.donotShowInfoMsg”: true,

“editor.formatOnPaste”: true,

“editor.formatOnSave”: true,

“editor.formatOnType”: true,

“[html]”: {

“editor.defaultFormatter”: “vscode.html-language-features”

},

“[css]”: {

“editor.defaultFormatter”: “vscode.css-language-features”

},

“[javascript]”: {

“editor.defaultFormatter”: “esbenp.prettier-vscode”

},

“[jsonc]”: {

“editor.defaultFormatter”: “vscode.json-language-features”

}

}`

Now VS Code is way better :)

You can try the above settings to your environment. Definitely, you’ll fall in love with your VS Code❤
