Setting up VSCode

Location of function/class braces

According to the Moodle coding guidelines

https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Coding_style#Functions_and_methods_2

"the brace should always be written on same line as the function name."

By default VSCode uses the PSR coding convention that braces appear on the next line when the internal formatter is used. (Cmd -K-F on OSX). This can be changed via a file called

omnisharp.json

Which can be placed either in the root of the project or as a configuration in the users home dir, e.g. ~/.omnisharp/omnisharp.json

The following example will put braces on the same line as the function/class declaration

{

   "FormattingOptions": {
       "NewLinesForBracesInLambdaExpressionBody": false,
       "NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousMethods": false,
       "NewLinesForBracesInAnonymousTypes": false,
       "NewLinesForBracesInControlBlocks": false,
       "NewLinesForBracesInTypes": false,
       "NewLinesForBracesInMethods": false,
       "NewLinesForBracesInProperties": false,
       "NewLinesForBracesInObjectCollectionArrayInitializers": false,
       "NewLinesForBracesInAccessors": false,
       "NewLineForElse": false,
       "NewLineForCatch": false,
       "NewLineForFinally": false
   }

}
