Implementing a VS Code feature: Introduction [0/2]
I recently switched from WebStorm to VS Code. Turns out VS Code doesn’t have a feature I relied on quite a bit: “Copy with Imports”.
In WebStorm, when you copy-paste a snippet the imports are pasted along with it. For example:
import fs from "fs";
import http from "http";
// If you copy the lines below to another file,
// the imports above will be automatically pasted
// along with it.
http.createServer((req, res) => {
const data = fs.readFileSync("bla");
res.write(data);
res.end();
});
VS Code doesn’t support this yet. You have to manually run “Add imports” after pasting a snippet.
There’s a 4-year old feature request for this. Let’s see if we can get this implemented!
