Auto-format in visual studio code on save.
Raw
vscode-auto-format.md

This lets you have consistently formatted code with no additional effort (manual labor of fixing it yourself, adding commit hooks, or running a formatter from the command line.) I use the black code-formatter, but you could find another one.

  1. Install black in whatever python interpreter you are using for visual studio code: pip install black .
  2. Navigate: Preferences --> Settings.
  3. Find and set: Format provider --> black.
  4. Open settings.json by finding "edit settings.json in the settings pane". Just scroll around and you'll find it.
  5. Add a line: "editor.formatOnSave": true.
