Coursework

Like learning a musical instrument, programming requires daily practice.

Setting up your code editor

There are some tools that will help you to write code. One of these, Prettier, formats your code, making it easier for you and others to read.

1. Using prettier

• In Visual Studio open the extensions panel (see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-gallery#_browse-and-install-extensions)
• Search for Prettier - Code formatter
• Click install on the top result

2. Enable formatting on save

• In Visual Studio open the settings file (see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_creating-user-and-workspace-settings)
• Search for editor format
• Set editor.formatOnSave and editor.formatOnPaste to true
