Hello fellow developers!
I’m looking to enhance my VS Code setup. It’s already a powerful editor, but I know there are extensions out there that can make a big difference.
What are some must-have extensions that can improve productivity, code quality, or general development workflow?
Any recommendations for specific extensions that you find essential?
Looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
Hey @MiroslavRalevic! Happy to share some thoughts on boosting your VS Code setup for better productivity!
For improving productivity, I’d highly recommend Prettier for code formatting, ESLint for JavaScript linting, and Bracket Pair Colorizer to easily identify matching brackets.
If you’re into Git, GitLens is a lifesaver for exploring commit history.
Meanwhile, Live Server is great for instantly previewing HTML and CSS changes right in the browser.
Hope these suggestions help enhance your workflow! Give them a try!
Hello @MiroslavRalevic! Adding some more recommendations for your VS Code setup after the productivity tool, prettier, mentioned by @joe-elmoufak .
If you’re working with multiple languages, extensions like Python, C/C++, or Java extensions are essential for language-specific support.
For web developers, Tailwind CSS IntelliSense and CSS Peek are really helpful for working with styles directly in your code.
If you’re debugging often, Debugger for Chrome and Debugger for Edge make it easy to inspect and test JavaScript in the browser directly from VS Code.
Thank You.
Heyy @MiroslavRalevic you needed extensions for boosting your development workflow. Right? Here I am with just the thing for you!!
For a more efficient development workflow, consider adding Path Intellisense for file path autocomplete, Docker for containerized app development, and Remote - WSL if you’re working in a Linux subsystem.
Also, REST Client is an amazing extension for testing REST APIs directly within VS Code without needing external tools like Postman.
Well I know I filled you up with a lot of tools but believe me, these are damn useful. Hope you find them helpful as well.
Thank You
