Why should you use extensions?

The main feature of the visual code is the benefits of extensions. That's why the VS code is widely used by developers. Extensions make the work super easy for any kind of developer. In this article, I recommend my top 5 extensions for VS Code.

05. Pretier

Don’t waste your time even formatting the code. Clearly, the formatted output is the result of using this extension. What’s crucial is that, when I save the code, it automatically formats itself. It was a time-saver, and it kept me from having to rewrite any faulty code.

04. Live server

This extension is a super easy way to run a web application and get a live preview of the existing code. The running file should have been renamed as index.html and it’s necessary for this extension.

03. Live share

Collaborative work is a very common and important thing these days for every programmer. So through this extension, we can share and edit the code at once from a different location. Trust me, use this extension and get enjoyment from this extension.

02. Snippets

I believe this will make you super fast. It makes me 5 times faster than my previous coding speed. If you are a react developer, you know about the pain of typing the same thing over again like function or class components replica. So the solution is here. If you need a class component. simply type rse and press enter. I know you will blow up.

01. IntelliCode

My experience with IntelliCode has been nothing short of excellent. This is because, as a full-stack developer, we need to be conversant in a wide variety of syntaxes. However, this extension predicts what we’re going to type and provides completion suggestions as we type.

Those are the top 5 extensions that I use for my web development. I really hope you learned anything new here, and I'll see you soon in the next blog. Happy coding!!!
