Two of the most prominent utilities in web development today are ESLint and Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code. I enjoy using both, and I love the integration between both tools, but warnings from ESLint inside Visual Studio Code aren’t fulfilling — I’d rather lint errors be fixed each time I save.
Complete the following steps to make Visual Studio Code fix any lint errors when a file is saved:
- Open the following file path:
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/settings.json - Within the JSON structure, add the following:
{
// ... Existing JSON here ...
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.fixAll": true
}
}
Every time you save applicable files within Visual Studio Code, ESLint will be run to fix any errors.
For me this is a massive time savings. There is some risk that this task might take a while one large files but for me it’s worth it.
