Visual Studio Code - Adjust import quotation setting

Question

When working in TypeScript in Visual Studio Code, the import suggestion on a type (triggered by space + period) will generate an import using double quotes.

Answer 1

This is already implemented (as mentioned in another reply)! But you are probably not on the latest version of TypeScript yet.

Solution is simple:

Click TypeScript version number (for example 2.3.4) between "TypeScript" and a little smiley face in the lower right corner. Then switch to Visual Studio Code built-in version (2.5.3 at this moment).

After this Visual Studio code will infer import quote style by looking at the first import statement. Note that a little popup label will still show double-quotes anyway.

This adds the ability to determine whether to use single or double quotes for new imports added via code fixes. When a new import is added, we scan the top-most statements of the source file for existing import or export declarations with module specifiers. We then use the quote style of the first one we find. If there are no existing imports in the file we fall back to using double quotes.
