Formatting

You can easily format your prisma files using LSP's format feature. There are several ways to invoke it.

1. Using the context menu. Right click in your schema file & select LSP -> Format File to format. This option is also available from the main menu as Edit -> LSP: Format File.
2. Using the command palette. Open the command palette and select LSP: Format File.

Customizing how to invoke LSP's format.

The command for LSP's format is lsp_format_document. So you can bind it to any key binding you want. As an example,

{
    "keys": ["shift+alt+f"],
    "command": "lsp_format_document"
}

Format on save.

If you want to automatically format your schema files on save, then:

1. Open any Prisma schema file.
2. From the main menu, go to Preferences -> Settings -- Syntax Specific. This should open a split layout window.
3. On the right hand side, paste the following and save the file.

// These settings override both User and Default settings for the Prisma syntax
{
    "lsp_format_on_save": true
}

Your Prisma schema files will now automatically be formatted everytime you save them.

The lsp_format_on_save is a setting that automatically invokes LSP's format feature (provided by the language server) on your document on save.
