Is it possible to exclude some file extensions in “format on save” in visual studio code?

Currently in VSCode settings you can configure format on save as following:

"editor.formatOnSave": true

I want to exclude some files, for example only format the JavaScript files but not format the HTML files, or at least is there some plugin to accomplish that?

You can use language specific settings to enable it for a specific language only, e.g. JavaScript:

"[javascript]": {

    "editor.formatOnSave": true

}

To disable it for a specific language, you could switch the global default to true and combine it with a language-specific false:

"editor.formatOnSave": true

"[javascript]": {

    "editor.formatOnSave": false

}

Thanks to Tobi for pointing this trick out in the comments.

FWIW, this also works the other way around to exclude only certain types from getting formatted: { "editor.formatOnSave": true, "[handlebars]": { "editor.formatOnSave": false }}
