Configuring Format on Save for Terraform in VS Code

index.md

If VS Code does not format Terraform code on save, but does format correctly when ask explicitly (Command palette -> Format File), add this to the configuration JSON:

    "[terraform]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "hashicorp.terraform",
        "editor.formatOnSave": true
    }

The trick here is that we configure the global format-on-save but only for terraform files.
