Post Need some help with vim

I use vim for writing code. I was using nano but found that vim is a much advanced editor. I am trying to achieve something like this:

When trying a loop or a function, I generally type:


Code:
function name() {}

Now when I take my cursor one position to the left and press the return key, it give me something like this:

Code:
function name() {
}

But I want something like this:

Code:
function name() {
________|Cursor Here
}

I've seen this in many editors but don't know how to achieve this in vim.
