Developers are likely to argue about the most efficient code editor and the best extension. Here are my personal extension preferences for VS Code as a JavaScript developer:
- ESLint
ESLint turns the popular JavaScript linter into an extension of VS Code. If you like, it will automatically read your Linting configuration, identify problems, and even fix them for you.
- GitLens
GitLens is a very powerful VS Code collaboration tool. It provides Git with many useful tools, such as Blame, code author, heat maps of activity, recent changes, file history, and even commit search.
- Chrome debugger
The Chrome debugger allows you to debug JavaScript code in Chrome or Chromium. Breakpoints, call stack checking, and stepping functions are just some of the features.
- Bracket Pair Colorizer 2
Bracket Pair Colorizer 2 makes reading the code faster because it makes matching brackets have the same color. This VS Code extension improves on its predecessor by providing improved performance.
- bookmarks
Bookmarks are one of the extensions that can significantly reduce the time you spend hopping between files because it allows you to save important locations and navigate back to them easily and quickly.
- TODO Highlight
TODO Highlight simplifies the process of keeping track of remaining tasks by allowing you to list all TODO comments and add handy background highlights to them to pop up immediately.
- Live Server
Live Server gives you an easy way to serve web pages from VS Code, making previewing and debugging easier. One of the core features is real-time reload support, which many developers are used to.
- REST client
The REST Client allows you to send HTTP requests directly in VS Code and see the response. This extension supports multiple formats and permissions and should work with most Settings.
- A dark theme
One Dark Pro is One of the most popular VS Code themes, and for good reason. It offers a clean theme and a nice color palette with great contrast and is very comfortable to use every day.
- Fira Code
Fira Code is not a traditional VS Code extension and may require more setup steps, but it is an excellent programming font with a hyphen that will help you scan Code faster once you get used to it.
