VS Code: Language Specific Settings

README.md

This gist shows how to configure VS Code settings, including tab/space settings, by language / file extension.

Note: You can also configure "editor.insertSpaces": true/false on a per-language basis. I use "editor.insertSpaces": true at a global level, but I don't want to start another spaces vs. tabs war!

vscode.settings.json

{
    "[javascript]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
    },
    "[python]": {
        "editor.tabSize": 4
    },
    "[ruby]": {
        "editor.defaultFormatter": "Shopify.rubocop-lsp",
        "editor.tabSize": 2,
        "files.trimTrailingWhitespace": true
    },
    "[yaml]": {
        "editor.tabSize": 2
    }
}
