This past week, I dedicated my mornings to a single goal: configuring Visual Studio Code to automatically insert a new line before braces {}.

How it was:

if (true){
  // do something
}

How I wanted it to be:

if (true)
{
  // do something
}

The task proved to be more challenging than I expected. I found many discussions about the same issue in forums and on Stack Overflow, but no definitive solution. So I’m here to share the solution I discovered.
