How to add space after and before curly braces?

Question

I am doing Flutter development and when I save, the code get formatted. It is nice but some settings are not what I want. For example, I would like to add a space after and before curly brace for my constructor:

Before

Device({this.deviceType});

After

Device({ this.deviceType });

How can I adjust Dart formatting or VS Code to handle that?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can't configure dartfmt , the Dart formatter, to do this as it's intended to make all Dart code look the same regardless of the author. See the FAQ of package:dart_style (the backend of dartfmt ) for more information as to why the formatter isn't configurable.

Answer 2

The Dart formatter respects linter style rules as laid out in the "analysis_options.yaml" file. A description of the file can be found here . A complete list of linter rules can be found here .

You can also subscribe to common style guides, such as pedantic , a package with the style guide used internally by Google, or lint , another package that enables all the rules that aren't either contradictory or opinionated.
