Introduction
If you're a developer, you should definitely read this blog. This blog will cover some tools, or
extensions, that will greatly help you with your code writing. I'm sure you've heard of VS Code
somewhere, as it's the most popular code editor for coding. It offers extensions and numerous benefits
that help you write code faster.
If you want to become a smart developer, today I'll share with
you some daily-use extensions that will help you. But here, I'd like to tell you something that many
student developers who are just learning coding should know. They do not know which tool is best for
them, they install anything at random, in which it either does not work or there is a problem, if you go
and look, you will find many extensions, but we do not have to install all of them, we have to install
those which actually help us and give us benefits, so today let us see the best extension for vs code.
1. Prettier – Code Formatter
I would definitely ask you to use this extension because you know that many new developers while writing the code do not pay attention that the format of their code is not correct, they just concentrate on writing, due to which it becomes very difficult to understand their code. A developer is one who pays attention to even the smallest things, it is not as if you are doing anything as per your wish. Although you can use shortcuts which format the code, but this tool automatically formats your code, which saves your time and the code also remains clean. If someone changes your code If you look at it, it becomes easy to understand it.
2. Live Server
Now see, when we write code like HTML CSS JavaScript, then after writing some code, we save it and reload it live, then it shows the updated code, that is, saving and refreshing again and again, which seems quite boring, hence this extension automatically refreshes your code, here you update the code in the code editor and there the code gets updated immediately in the browser, there is no need to refresh anything, it reduces the time.
3. Auto Rename Tag
This extension is also very amazing because it saves time and works quickly. Its work is basically that if you rename <div> to <section> then it will automatically find which is the close tag of the div and will rename it immediately. That means if there is a 500-line code then you will not need to go to the end, it will work immediately which will save a lot of time. I myself also use it.
4. Auto Close Tag
All of you will find the extension above and both of them are the same but this one closes your tag, as soon as you put the heading tag, its close tag will also automatically appear, there will be no need to write it again, see the little things, you can save your time.
5. Error Lens
This extension is the best, especially for new developers who are just learning coding. See, when new developers write code, they encounter a lot of errors. In most cases, they find errors, but some do not, which makes them upset. So, this extension tells you within the editor itself what is the error in which line, so you do not need to see the entire code. Wherever there is an error, you can learn it immediately. This helps beginners a lot because in such a situation, they feel that they cannot do the coding, so you should use this. When you become a smart pro level developer, then you will not need extension.
6. Path Intellisense
In this, when you do coding, like if you are making an e-commerce website, then there will be use of images, there will be icons, so when you do this, you have to see again and again what is the path of the image, but with the help of this, it makes your work easy, you have to enter a keyword, it will automatically suggest you the path of which image, due to which you do not need to see it again and again and do not have to type it also.
7. GitLens
This extension is very useful. With its help, you can check the history of Git and this is useful when you are doing team work and many people are working together on the same project because if you have not worked for two days and then suddenly you enter the project, then you can check what changes have been made and who made them. This is done by professional developers, you should definitely use it.
8. ESLint
This is also very useful for beginner developers. Suppose you are learning JavaScript, then this is specifically for JavaScript, so you should use it because I will recommend it when you are learning coding, then after becoming an expert, there is no need for this.
9. Material Icon Theme
It basically makes your folder icons look good, it provides beautiful icons which look good, it is up to you whether to use it or not, otherwise I use it as it has coding in VC code and its view looks very good.
10. Code Spell Checker
Sometimes when we work quickly, we don't know what went wrong in the code, but this extension is not for code errors, it is specifically for showing spelling mistakes. See, after a long time we don't know and we make a spelling mistake, then you can find out that mistake using this.
Conclusion
In this blog, I have also mentioned the best extensions for beginners, which I myself used when I was learning coding, and there are some VS code extensions also which are used by expert developers, so you have to use them, which will save your time and also be fast, only then you will become a smart developer.
