  The value of this config will be pass to the 'format' function of moment library(a js time manipulation library), you can read document https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/ for advanced usage.

  And you can use variable:

  • ${currentFileName}: the current file name with ext.
  • ${currentFileNameWithoutExt}: the current file name without ext.

  Default value is Y-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss.

• pasteImage.path

  The destination to save image file.

  You can use variable:

  • ${currentFileDir}: the path of directory that contain current editing file.
  • ${projectRoot}: the path of the project opened in vscode.
  • ${currentFileName}: the current file name with ext.
  • ${currentFileNameWithoutExt}: the current file name without ext.

  Default value is ${currentFileDir}.

• pasteImage.basePath

  The base path of image url.

  You can use variable:

  • ${currentFileDir}: the path of directory that contain current editing file.
  • ${projectRoot}: the path of the project opened in vscode.
  • ${currentFileName}: the current file name with ext.
  • ${currentFileNameWithoutExt}: the current file name without ext.

  • ${imageSyntaxSuffix}: in markdown file it would be ), in asciidoc file it would be [], in other file it would be empty string

  Default is ${imageSyntaxPrefix}${imageFilePath}${imageSyntaxSuffix}.

Config Example

I use vscode to edit my hexo blog. The folder struct like this:

blog/source/_posts  (articles)
blog/source/img     (images)

I want to save all image in blog/source/img, and insert image url to article. And hexo will generate blog/source/ as the website root, so the image url should be like /img/xxx.png. So I can config pasteImage in blog/.vscode/setting.json like this:

"pasteImage.path": "${projectRoot}/source/img",
"pasteImage.basePath": "${projectRoot}/source",
"pasteImage.forceUnixStyleSeparator": true,
"pasteImage.prefix": "/"

If you want to save image in separate directory:

"pasteImage.path": "${projectRoot}/source/img/${currentFileNameWithoutExt}",
"pasteImage.basePath": "${projectRoot}/source",
"pasteImage.forceUnixStyleSeparator": true,
"pasteImage.prefix": "/"

If you want to save image with article name as prefix:

"pasteImage.namePrefix": "${currentFileNameWithoutExt}_",
"pasteImage.path": "${projectRoot}/source/img",
"pasteImage.basePath": "${projectRoot}/source",
"pasteImage.forceUnixStyleSeparator": true,
"pasteImage.prefix": "/"

If you want to use html in markdown:

"pasteImage.insertPattern": "<img>${imageFileName}</img>"
"pasteImage.path": "${projectRoot}/source/img",
"pasteImage.basePath": "${projectRoot}/source",
"pasteImage.forceUnixStyleSeparator": true,
"pasteImage.prefix": "/"

Format

File name format

If you selected some text in editor, then extension will use it as the image file name. The selected text can be a sub path like subFolder/subFolder2/nameYouWant.

If not the image will be saved in this format: "Y-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss.png". You can config default image file name by pasteImage.defaultName.

File link format

When you editing a markdown, it will pasted as markdown image link format ![](imagePath).

When you editing a asciidoc, it will pasted as asciidoc image link format image::imagePath[].

In other file, it just paste the image's path.

Now you can use configuration pasteImage.insertPattern to config the format of file link and the alt text.
