uh hello guys uh welcome to this uh live
0:05
stream So in this live stream I will
0:06
show you how to turn on the and enable
0:10
the autosave feature inside VS code to
0:13
basically save a lot of time while
0:16
developing any kind of application So
0:18
turn autosave is actually a feature
0:20
whenever you are coding right here Let's
0:22
suppose I create a simple index html
0:24
file So if I make some kind of change
0:27
this change will automatically be
0:29
reflected You don't need to type that
0:31
shortcut key which is control S to save
0:34
this Automatically the your work will be
0:37
saved and there is actually this feature
0:40
You can enable this feature by going to
0:43
the file menu and you will see this
0:45
feature which is
0:46
autosave So you can enable this feature
0:49
by default If you are on VS code this
0:52
feature will not be enabled So just go
0:54
to the file menu and just right here
0:57
this feature is there autosave just
1:00
enable this So now if you see that check
1:03
mark will be there So as soon now as you
1:06
make any sort of change here let me put
1:08
side by side
1:13
windows So this is my development here
1:17
which is going on side by side So this
1:20
will save you a lot of time because you
1:21
don't need to actually save your work
1:24
Automatically VS code will do Now let's
1:27
suppose if I make this change of color
1:29
to be green So as I make this change
1:32
here automatically you will see it will
1:34
be reflected
1:36
back It is actually a live server So if
1:39
I make a change
1:42
here I put the background color here
1:51
So as I put this work here you will see
1:53
this autosave is enabled If you refresh
1:56
you will see
1:57
that and also there is some kind of
2:00
settings that you can enable for
2:02
autosave by going to this settings
2:04
option And here you just need to search
2:06
for this option which is
2:09
autosave Just search for this right here
2:12
in the search bar and this setting will
2:14
come right here So by default it is
2:16
selected It actually controls autosave
2:20
of editors So by default you can put a
2:24
time period after which it will save
2:27
your work So by default it's set to
2:30
1,000 millisecond but you can change
2:32
this to zero as well So instantly your
2:34
work will be saved You don't have any
2:37
delay So just put 10 here 10 millisecond
2:40
It's very minimalistic time and also
2:42
very much settings are also there Autos
2:44
save when no errors are there Autos save
2:47
workspace only So these are all the
2:50
settings You can even put this setting
2:52
on as well Format on save It will
2:56
automatically format your file whenever
2:59
saving the file
3:01
So but this is the main setting Just
3:04
select from this dropdown There is also
3:06
if you want to turn off this autosave
3:09
option you can put this to off So there
3:12
is two options You can go to the file
3:14
menu and then enable this So whenever
3:16
you enable this it will be turned on
3:20
here So now if you do this
3:28
here so automatically you will see it
3:32
will be reflected
3:35
back So if you make the changes so this
3:38
