VS Code - space before function parentheses

Question

Is there a way to disable removing space before parentheses when editing a function in VS Code?

Lets say I have a function

function render () {     // some code here } 

When I start editing it, VS Code removes the space before parentheses and transforms this code to:

function render() {     // some code here } 

Is there a way to disable this behavior?

Answer 1

1. In VS Code open File -> Preferences -> Settings
2. Add to your JSON config:

"javascript.format.insertSpaceBeforeFunctionParenthesis": true

function render () {      // some code here  }

"javascript.format.insertSpaceBeforeFunctionParenthesis": false

function render() {      // some code here  }

3. Now you can continue using your auto format option "editor.formatOnType": true

Answer 2

I had opposite problem with anonymous functions. We use prettier extension. Auto-correct inserts a space before parenthesis. And then prettier complains about it.

var anonfunc = function() {     // Expected syntax.  }  var autocorrected = function () {     // Auto-correct inserts a space } 

There is similar code option, which solves my problem:

"javascript.format.insertSpaceAfterFunctionKeywordForAnonymousFunctions": false 

By default it is true. Took me some time, until I was tired correcting auto-correct.
