If you find it helpful, please like and support it~

1. Volar

🔥 1.53 million downloads+

I believe that students who use VSCode to develop Vue2 must be familiar with the Vetur extension. As a VSCode extension supporting Vue2, its main function is to provide highlighting, syntax support and syntax detection for Vue single-file components.

With the release of the official version of Vue3, the Vue team officially recommends the Volar extension to replace the Vetur extension, which not only supports Vue3 language highlighting, syntax detection, Also supports TypeScript and type checking based on vue-tsc.

Note when using:

First, disable the Vetur extension to avoid conflicts;
It is recommended to use css/less/scss as the language for <style>, because these are based on vscode-css-language the service provides reliable language support;
If using postcss/stylus/sass, additional syntax highlighting extensions need to be installed. postcss uses language-postcss, stylus uses language-stylus extension, sass uses Sass extension;
Volar does not contain ESLint and Prettier, while the official ESLint and Prettier extension supports Vue, so you need to install it yourself.

2. Vue VSCode Snippets

🔥 1.52 million downloads+

Vue VSCode Snippets extension aims to provide developers with the easiest and fastest way to generate Vue code snippets, through various shortcuts key to quickly generate various code snippets in .vue files. It is simply a must-have artifact for Vue3 development.
