vs code shortcut or plugin in add import statement

Is there a shortcut or plugin in add an import statement like

import { ApolloClient } from 'apollo-client'

I'm sure I used to do it by pressing i space and then Tab which gave me

import {} from ''

the cursor would then jump to the from statement and then Tab would take me to the {}

You can use the extension My Code Actions

You can define the action to be always available to include:

"my-code-actions.actions": {
    "[javascript]": {
      "import ApolloClient": {
        //"diagnostics": ["\"(.*?)\" is not defined"],
        "text": "import { ApolloClient } from 'apollo-client'\n",
        "where": "afterLast",
        "insertFind": "^(import |from \\w+ import )"
      }
    }
  }

If this is related to an entry in the PROBLEMS panel (red squigle) you can add the "diagnostics" property.

You can add any shortcut you want to in VSCode via the keybindings.json file.

  1. Press F1
  2. When the input drops open type: "Open Keyboard Shortcuts" - It will have "(JSON)" next to it. Select the Open Keyboard Shortcuts (json) option when you see it.
  3. You should be in a JSON file. Now follow the instructions in the snippet below.
    // Inside the JSON files Curly Brackets, copy and paste the block below
    {
        // Follow the comment instructions
        {
            "key": "CTRL+SHIFT+I", // Choose the keybinding you want to use.
            "command": "type", // You will use 'type' for the command to exec
            "args": {
            "text": "import {} from ''" // enter the string that you want to auto-type
            }
        },
    },

    /* 
         If you did everything correctly you should be able to use the 
         keybinding you choose to have it auto type your text argument*/
