The geniuses behind VSCode can't think of everything, so it's absolutely wonderful that any programmer with a great idea can create an extension that we can all benefit from. We all have our favorites, and these are mine.
-
- What: Allows you to collapse every nested block of code
- Why: Collapsing all your code blocks makes your code so much easier to understand
- How much: Free
-
- What: A visualization of your git history
- Why: Your git history is confusing as fuck, admit it
- How much: Free
-
- What: Color scheme for code
- Why: It's just how code should be colored. Prove me wrong.
- How much: Free evaluation copy, then €9.95 to buy it (I did. It's worth it)
-
- What: Colors opening and closing bracket pairs the same color
- Why: Makes it 1000 times easier to understand which opening and closing brackets are paired because they are the same color
- How much: Free
-
- What: It formats and indents your code so it's much easier to parse
- Why: It's much easier than trying to understand a giant block of spaghetti code.
- How much: Free
-
- What: A spellchecker for VSCode
- Why: You're still lousy at spelling and need a spellchecker
- How much: Free
Those are my favey-faves, what are yours? Please add them in the comments below, I am always hungry for a new clever extension to make writing code easier!
