1. Prettier
Problem: Messy and unreadable code. Collaboration is more difficult because there is no standard. Solution: Formats the code on autosave.
2. Live Server
Problem: 1) Reloading your page manually takes time. 2) When running a project with frameworks like React, Vue, or Angular you need real-time compiling for it to work. JS modules cannot be loaded via the file protocol, they must be requested over HTTP(S). Solution: Run your project as a live server. Updates in real-time as you save. Enables working with modern frameworks, APIs, and servers.
3. Path Intellisense
Solution: Autocompletes file paths. Saves time and spelling mistakes.
4. Better Comments
Problem: Default comments are not so visible, and there is no way to differentiate meaning in comments. Solution: Gives different colored comments by adding symbols.
5. Todo Tree
Problem: How to keep track of all the TODOS you’ve created. Solution: Gives you a list of all to-dos in your workspace and repositories.
6. Code Spell Checker
Problem: Easy to make spelling mistakes as you write, especially if English is not your native tongue as it’s not for me. Solution: Check your grammar and highlights potential fixes. And is in many different languages.
7. Indent rainbow
Problem: Reading code and especially HTML can be quite difficult and messy with a big project. Finding which element is nested within which other element. Solution: It breaks up the indentation into separate colored chunks and it makes it much easier to read.
8. Highlight matching tag
Problem: Same problem as previous. Sometimes it's really hard to find where one element starts and finishes. Solution: Highlights the element's opening and closing tag. Much easier to read and saves you time and effort.
9. CodeSnap
Problem: Sharing code can be tedious and time-consuming. Solution: Code snap resolves that by giving you an inbuilt way of screenshotting your code which you can then share or save as you like.
10. VS Code icons
Problem: Can be hard to navigate large project files and folders, and it's not very visually appealing. Solution: Adds a unique icon to different file types and makes you differentiate between them easier and it's visually nicer looking. You can also customize the theme.
