How to use Organize Imports in VS Code to cleanup unused imports.
2022-10-21
When working on JavaScript projects, I often find I'll remove a bunch of code but have left over imports.
In 30 - Collections/Software/VS Code, there's a command palette option for Organize Imports that will sort your imports and remove any unused imports.
To access it, open your Command Palette and run Organize Imports.
See it in action:
If you feel confident you won't be creating a lot of work for yourself adding imports back, you can also setup your 30 - Collections/Software/VS Code configuration to automatically Organize Imports on save.
"editor.codeActionsOnSave"
already, add the snippet below"source:organizeImports"
to "editor.codeActionsOnSave"
"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
"source.organizeImports": true
},
