VSCode : disable formatting of a specific file (or extension) [duplicate]

• How to exclude files from “format on save” in VSCode? 2 answers

Using Visual Studio Code, is it possible to disable the formatting of a specific file (or extension)?

I try to use some Handlebars templates and I don't want VSCode to format them, at all. A simple example would be :

{{test1}}

{{test2}}

When I save this file (I do have - and want - "editor.formatOnSave" set to true), VsCode transforms the content to

 {{test1}} {{test2}}

The only way I found for the file to stay untouched, is to name it "template.txt" instead of "template.hbs".

Any idea?

You can add file-specific exclusions like so:

"[handlebars]": { "editor.formatOnSave": false },
