Visual Studio Code is a source code editor for building modern web applications. It is a free and open-source editor. It supports a number of extensions that can be used for web application development. In this blog, we are going to talk about 15 of these extensions that are used in developing a web application:

Live Sass Compiler

This VS Code extension is used for compiling SCSS files to CSS files quickly compared to the other compilers like Visual Studio extensions. This is handy for web developers while developing webpages with SCSS files.

Debugger for Chrome

This extension is used for debugging JavaScript code in the Google Chrome browser for webpages in the Visual Studio Code environment. This extension is a lot more convenient than the Chrome console for debugging JavaScript code. To work with this, first install the extension and then set up the lauch.json settings for debugging the particular webpage you want to investigate.

Live Server

This extension is used for launching a development local server with a live reload feature for static and dynamic pages. This saves time for previewing the changes made to your source code by just making the changes in the VS code and saving the file. This will automatically refresh the browser and reflect the changes you have made in it instead of us manually refreshing the browser page.

ESLint

This extension is used for analyzing your JavaScript code and fixing the errors in them. You can install and edit your JS code to fix the errors pointed out.

Beautify

This extension is used for formatting files like HTML. The unformatted code in these files is converted into formatted, readable code by this extension. You can set this setting in the VS Code preferences, which will then automatically format all the code you have typed in the editor.

Better Comments

This extension is used for differentiating comment types like warnings, errors, highlights, and queries to improve the readability and understandability of the code.

Quokka

This extension is used for testing JavaScript code in the Visual Studio Code editor itself instead of checking it out in the browser console.

JavaScript (ES6) Code Snippets

This extension is used for setting shortcut triggers for JavaScript code that can be used to invoke a full code instead of typing out code on each instance. This will be useful while working on projects with a large amount of codes.
