'Is there a way to auto-format flutter with vscode?

I was wondering if there is a library like Eslint for Flutter/Dart that will automatically insert semicolons and trailing commas when I save the file.

FLutter Version: 1.22.3 Dart Version: 2.10.3

With VS Code version 1.53 ( I am sure previous have this too) you don't need to install any special extension. Just navigate to:

Preferences -> Settings -> Text Editor -> Formatting

make sure "Format on save" is enabled

with every time you hit Ctrl + S your file will be saved as well as code formatted.

install the flutter extension.
append or modify these lines in the settings.json file:

"[dart]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "Dart-Code.dart-code",
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
}

after this, you can format your dart file with the save (ctrl+s) action.

You can format every flutter file with one command like this...

 flutter format . -l 120

It sets the line length I believe, which as a side effect formats all your code its brilliant

There is a Code Formatting help area in the documentation.There is a section for VsCode Here. It explains that

To automatically format the code in the current source code window, right-click in the code window and select Format Document. You can add a keyboard shortcut to this VS Code Preferences.

After installing the Flutter extension.

I also found another Stack Overflow post Here that may be able to help you with a few extension suggestions and a way to make your own bindings for/in VsCode.

actually optional colons are what allow automatic formatting... I'm not sure it is really helpful to automatically have a colon or semicolon at the end of a line as it may varies and also I do not things there is an extension that effectively do that (except having some sort of other shortcuts)...

So although it does not answer exactly your question, it may help other users looking on how to format their flutter code: if you have all the optional colons the best way is to run the command included in the flutter plugin. From the terminal just run flutter format lib and it will format all the dart files in the lib directory and subdirectory. You can change lib with whatever directory you like.

Finally you could add some extension and activate few plugins to get a much readeable file. But that is a matter of personal appreciation. I personally use: Bracket Pair Colorizer 2, Indent-Rainbow and activate the two dart option for flutter outline to get this result :

you can use this command as mentioned in the official documentation https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/formatting

flutter format .

Solution 7:^[7]

In Extensions, search for [Prettier - Code formatter]

It formats your code once you click ctrl+S

Solution 8:^[8]

if this image appears without a bar from vs code bar vs code

go in Preferences -> Settings and look for -> Default Formatter

setting and change to Dart and you're done

A simple shortcut for format the flutter code (Dart)

  Ctrl + ALT + L

Your code will be formatted.

Solution 10:^[10]

I was briefly on VSCode now back trying out Intellij but remember the hot key combination being: ctrl + shift + i. I could not tell if it was ctrl+shift+L or i but pretty sure it was i. Also trailing commas helps the formatter do its job as the Flutter.dev documentation says.

Open VS Code settings

File-> Preferences->Settings

Text editor->Formatting

Enable Format on paste
Enable Format on save
