Here's a thread of VSCode extensions that really helped me when I was learning to code. Check it out if you're doing #100DaysOfCode or #100daysofcodechallenge. Link your favourite extension below.. 🧵 👇
1. Bracket Pair Colorizer - this was a life saver for me. It can be so easy to miss a closing bracket or lose your way when your files are growing.
2. Path Intellisense - this extension will save you from hours of wondering why a file or image won't load. Never accidentally use the wrong file path again!
3. TODO Highlight - you can easily miss comments in your code and that's where TODO highlight comes in. Whilst it makes your comments easier to see, you can also search your project for 'TODO' and find all the things you wanted to go back to when you had time.
4. JavaScript (ES6) Code Snippets - a bunch of really useful snippets. Fed up of typing 'console.log()' every time? This extension allows you to just type 'clg' and does the rest for you.
5. Jest Runner - this extension allows you to really easily run a block or single test when you're using Jest/React Testing Library. So convenient!
And that's it, my 5 recommended VSCode extensions when you're learning to code. I've missed the obvious in Prettier & ESLint as they deserve their own threads in the future.
Let me know what your favourite extension is and follow if you'd like more tips! ✅😃
