Top 5 Useful Visual Studio Code Extension

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a popular code editor, and there are many useful extensions available to enhance its functionality. Here are five widely used extensions that were popular at the time:  

Live Server

 

If you're doing web development, Live Server helps you launch a development server with live reloading, making it easy to preview your HTML/CSS/JavaScript changes.. Many software engineers consider this to be their preferred VSCode addition. Live Server starts a local development server with the ability to refresh both static and dynamic pages in real time. Each time you save your code, the changes are immediately visible in the browser. It's much simpler to run some basic tests on your code, and you'll be much faster at finding issues.  

Remote - SSH

  You can use any remote machine that has an SSH server as your development environment by using the Remote - SSH extension. This significantly speeds up the development and/or troubleshooting process in a number of circumstances.  

Prettier

  Streamline the formatting of your code. Prettier is a code formatter that automatically formats your code to follow consistent rules. It's available for many programming languages and can help maintain a clean codebase. Prettier is an opinionated code formatter that excels when numerous individuals are contributing to a single project because it enforces a uniform style. .By adding the necessary indentation for the language being used, this plugin organizes the code. As a result, understanding the code is made straightforward for both the creator and a novice. The time required to format your code can be greatly decreased by setting it up so that it does so every time you save it.  

GitHub Copilot

  The work will be done for you by AI. GitHub Copilot has been dubbed a revolution in computer programming by some and a helpful tool by others. Whatever your opinion, it's worthwhile to incorporate the autocomplete AI into your workflow. GitHub Copilot, a GPT-3-trained tool, provides code suggestions, auto-completes code, and even assists with writing code when you add a comment in natural language.

Auto Rename Tag

  Tags are automatically renamed While Auto Rename Tag is a function that enables developers to edit the starting tag and have it automatically change the closing tag, making tag renaming simple, VSCode by default highlights matched tags and automatically adds closing tags anytime you input an opening tag. The extension eliminates the need to alter your tag names twice and works with HTML, XML, PHP, and JavaScript. Edit: Several commenters have noted that Auto Rename Tag is rather glitchy, so proceed with caution.
