VS Code Settings for Powershell 2023.03

Powershell Settings - vscode.md

Default settings in VS Code are dynamic. They are generated based on your extensions's metadata. That means they are up to date. I have some tips for discovering new settings in Vs Code through Default settings (ninmonkeys.com)

Another extension that helps is Better Align

The main settings:

{   "powershell.codeFormatting.autoCorrectAliases": true,
    "powershell.codeFormatting.useConstantStrings": true,
    "powershell.codeFormatting.useCorrectCasing": true,
    "powershell.codeFormatting.alignPropertyValuePairs": true,
    
    // if you want custom rules
    // "powershell.scriptAnalysis.settingsPath": "C:/dotfiles/pwsh/PSScriptAnalyzerSettings.psd1",
}

To get schemas, and validation on Type.ps1xml and Format.ps1xml files, use: the extension redhat.vscode-xml with this config

    "xml.fileAssociations": [
        {
            "systemId": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/master/src/Schemas/Format.xsd",
            // "pattern": "**/*.Format.ps1xml"
            "pattern": "**/*.[Ff]ormat.ps1xml"
        },
        {
            "systemId": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/master/src/Schemas/Types.xsd",
            "pattern": "**/*.[tT]ypes.ps1xml"
        }
    ],

Format on save by default

 "[json][jsonc][markdown][powershell]": {
        "editor.fontSize": 13,
        "editor.formatOnSave": true,
        "editor.formatOnPaste": false,
        // "editor.semanticHighlighting.enabled": true,
    },
