How To Remove Un-used Imports Automatically In Visual Studio Code

If you’re working on a project that forces you to run all the linting before you can commit, you can sometimes feel frustrated. But most of the time, I forget to clean un-used imports in my TypoScript/JavaScript files.

Until just yet! I was so done with it 🥺. I knew that there was an option or plugin for it. But though I had it installed.

Well, this can be fixed without any plugin 😁.

Open your settings in JSON.

And paste the following into it.

"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {  
    "source.organizeImports": true  
}

Now, every time you press save, it will clean your unused imports. This will save you time, energy, frustration, and building times for your React or Angular applications.

I hope this short post will save you a lot of time and hassle, as it did for me. 🤗
