VSCode Trailing Whitespace Trimmer

A formatter extension for Visual Studio Code that does nothing but trim trailing whitespace as in a lot of projects additional formatting rules are not necessary or desired.

• VSCode Marketplace

Setup

Install the extension and add the following configuration to your VSCode's settings.json to apply it by default:

// Alternatively you can configure this via the UI:
// `Settings` -> `Editor: Default Formatter`
{
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "bitpatty.trailing-whitespace-trimmer"
}

Or to add it to specific file formats:

{
  "[plaintext]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "bitpatty.trailing-whitespace-trimmer"
  }
}

Development

Update src/web/extension.ts with the necessary changes.

After building (npm run build), the project can be run locally using:

• The VSCode debugger: local / electron
• npm run test-web: web version
