Top 3 VSCode Extensions -Updated List
Now I know I wrote a blog before regarding this topic but it was Top 3 for React, this time I decided to make a Top 3 list for extensions you can use in general for a lot more languages that can make your coding projects go a lot smoother or help you differentiate what is what while coding since I know sometimes we have a lot of things to look at so lets go through them 😁.
1. Prettier
Prettier as you can see from the picture above is a very helpful code formatter that helps keep the same style going in your projects especially if you are working with a group/team since it’ll force a consistent style upon the project so everyone knows what is going on and being put in the code. You can also set it up to format the code everytime you and the team decides to save your progress so you don’t have to spend additional time on formatting yourself.
2. Git History
Now this extension I found out about it through a friend since we worked on a small project he was working on for a small game he was making and at times we would be at work and he would want me to add on to the project or edit his code while he was busy. Git History is basically an extension that gives you a visual of the git log so you can easily look at what was added and also compare git branches so you know where to pick up from or where exactly you’d want to start editing from instead of going through the git log through the terminal and looking through every commit.
3. Code Spell Checker
This extension I’ll be honest probably isn’t that important to most people but I can’t tell you guys how many times Ive misspelled something in my code while spelling it correctly in other files or places on the code and would be completely annoyed with how my project wouldn’t work and find out it’s because I misspelled “Bacon” as “Baccon”. As you can see from this gif above what the extension does is underline the word that was misspelled so you can make sure to double check you spell it correctly if you need to. Another cool thing about this extension is that it also recognizes other languages as well like if I wrote a word in Spanish incorrectly, it would underline it as well.
