Automatically Format Go Code on Save in VSCode

To automatically format Go code on save in VSCode, follow these steps:

1. Open your VSCode settings by pressing Ctrl-Comma (or Cmd-, on Mac) and navigating to "Settings."
2. Search for "Go" in the settings search bar.

3. Locate the following options under the "Go" category:

   • editor.insertSpaces: Set to true to use spaces for indentation instead of tabs.
   • editor.formatOnSave: Set to true to enable automatic formatting on save.
   • editor.defaultFormatter: Set to "golang.go" to use the default Go formatter, go.fmt.

4. Your settings.json should resemble the following:

   "[go]": {
       "editor.insertSpaces": true,
       "editor.formatOnSave": true,
       "editor.defaultFormatter": "golang.go"
   }

Note:

Ensure that you have the necessary Go extensions installed in VSCode. If you do not see the Go version in the bottom left bar when opening a .go file, click the exclamation icon and install the suggested extensions.
