How to add bracket formatting when typing in typing in visual studio code

Question

when writing in visual studio code my brackets used to automatically format as

function(){
   //cursor here 
}

however now it automaticly formats as

function(){
//cursor here}

I have cruised through stack overflow and user settings in vs code but failed to find anything of use.

Specifically in java

Answer 1

1. Ctrl + Shift + P to open the command palette, type and select Java:Open Java Formatter Settings

   

2. Modify the following in the open file

<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_annotation_type_declaration" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_anonymous_type_declaration" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_array_initializer" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_block_in_case" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_block" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_constructor_declaration" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_enum_constant" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_enum_declaration" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_lambda_body" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_method_declaration" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_switch" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_type_declaration" value="end_of_line"/>

change into

<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_annotation_type_declaration" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_anonymous_type_declaration" value="end_of_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_array_initializer" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_block_in_case" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_block" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_constructor_declaration" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_enum_constant" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_enum_declaration" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_lambda_body" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_method_declaration" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_switch" value="next_line"/>
<setting id="org.eclipse.jdt.core.formatter.brace_position_for_type_declaration" value="next_line"/>

3. After the modification is completed, open the settings and find the java.format.settings.url setting item. Enter the path of the file you just modified

   

4. restart VS Code
