Project Settings

Configure your project by creating or updating a settings.json file at the project's root. If you already have a .vscode/settings.json file, skip the first two steps.

Open the command palette in VSCode:
- CTRL + SHIFT + P (Windows)
- CMD + SHIFT + P (Mac OS)
Type Preferences: Open Workspace Settings (JSON).

In the .vscode/settings.json file, copy and paste the following settings:

{
  "nestjs.files.include": [
    "ts"
  ],
  "nestjs.files.exclude": [
    "**/node_modules/**",
    "**/dist/**",
    "**/out/**",
    "**/build/**",
    "**/.*/**"
  ],
  "nestjs.files.watch": [
    "controllers",
    "dtos",
    "services"
  ],
  "nestjs.files.showPath": true,
  "nestjs.files.autoImport": true,
  "nestjs.files.orm": "typeorm",
}

Restart VS Code

Your project is now set up to automatically format code upon saving.
