I'm changing the "formatted" part to use standard Moment.js formatting because why not.

Changes:

• Default format now uses whatever Moment.js uses for an empty string, which is ISO 8601, no fractional seconds
  • It comes out looking like this: 2019-01-01T06:23:44-06:00.
  • In particular, notice there is now a numeric time zone on the end.
• Changed settings namespace to insertMomentString

A plugin for Visual Studio Code that inserts the current date and/or time according to configured format.

Open Command Palette by pressing F1, type ext install and then look for Insert Date String extension.

Following commands are available:

• Insert DateTime (⇧+⌘+I on OS X, Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows and Linux) - Inserts current date and/or time according to configured format (format) at the cursor position.
• Insert Date - Inserts current date according to configured format (formatDate) at the cursor position.
• Insert Time - Inserts current time according to configured format (formatTime) at the cursor position.
• Insert Timestamp String - Inserts current timestamp in string format at the cursor position. Default is ISO 8601, no milliseconds.
  • Default: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ
  • Sample: 2019-12-18T11:17:32-06:00
• Insert Timestamp Number - Inserts current timestamp in milliseconds since start of epoch at the cursor position.
  • Sample: 1576689452343
• Insert Sortable - Inserts sortable date and time according to configured format (formatSortable) at the cursor position.
  • Default: YYYYMMDDhhmmss.SS
  • Sample: 20191218111732.34
• Insert Readable - Inserts a somewhat more human-readable date and time stamp according to configured format (formatReadable) at the cursor position.
  • Default: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss
  • Sample: 2019-12-18 11:17:32
• Insert Formatted DateTime (⇧+⌘+⌥+I on OS X, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I on Windows and Linux) - Prompt user for format and insert formatted date and/or time at the cursor position.

• Date and time format string (this affects output of Insert DateTime and Insert Timestamp String, and the default format for Insert Formatted DateTime):
• Date format string (this affects Insert Date output):
• Time format string (this affects Insert Time output):
• Sortable date and time format string (this affects Insert Sortable output):
• Readable date and time format string (this affects Insert Readable output):
