[SOLVED] Visual Studio Code formatting for "{ }"

Issue

I'm on Ubuntu. C++ in Visual Studio Code automatically lints like

if (condition == true)
{
  DoStuff();
}

Instead I want to do :

if (condition == true) {
  DoStuff();
}

How do I do that?

I've already installed the C/C++ extension from the marketplace.

Solution

base on @Chris Drew's answer

1. Go Preferences -> Settings
2. Search for C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle
3. Change from Visual Studio to { BasedOnStyle: Google, IndentWidth: 4 }

In user settings.json, that looks like this:

• "C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle": "{ BasedOnStyle: Google, IndentWidth: 4, ColumnLimit: 0}"
• btw ColumnLimit: 0 is helpful too, because google limit will break your code to next line when you do not need it.

If you want more:

• check https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormatStyleOptions.html
• customize your functionality to "C_Cpp.clang_format_fallbackStyle" for your loved favor.
