SyncedSideBar is an amazing Sublime Text plugin to sync project sidebar (folder view) with the currently active file.
I just recently explore a new text editor VS Code. I've tried google around for this similar plugin on VS Code. I haven't found one yet.

// Controls if the explorer should automatically reveal and select files when opening them.
"explorer.autoReveal": true,
