In Visual Studio Code (VSCode), you can easily collapse (or fold) JavaScript code to make your workspace cleaner and more organized. Here's how you can do it:

Manual Collapsing (Folding):

1. Using the UI:

   • On the left side of your code (near the line numbers), you’ll see a small arrow or chevron next to code blocks (functions, classes, objects, etc.).
   • Click on the arrow to collapse or expand the code block.

2. Using Shortcuts:

   • Fold (Collapse) Code: Place your cursor within the code block you want to collapse and use:
     • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + [
     • Mac: Cmd + Shift + [
   • Unfold (Expand) Code: Place your cursor within the collapsed code block and use:
     • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + Shift + ]
     • Mac: Cmd + Shift + ]

3. Fold/Unfold All Code:

   • Fold All (Collapse All):
     • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + K, then Ctrl + 0
     • Mac: Cmd + K, then Cmd + 0
   • Unfold All (Expand All):
     • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + K, then Ctrl + J
     • Mac: Cmd + K, then Cmd + J

Automatic Collapsing:

• Automatic Folding for Regions: You can also define collapsible regions in your JavaScript code using comments. For example:

// #region Description of this section
function example() {
    // Some code here
}
// #endregion

This will create a collapsible region in your code. You can then fold and unfold this region in the same way as other blocks.

Conclusion:

• Use the UI by clicking the arrow next to code blocks or use the provided shortcuts to fold and unfold JavaScript code.
• For more control, you can define collapsible regions using comments like // #region and // #endregion.
