Bracket Pair Colorizer 2
The VS extension Bracket Pair Colorizer matches
corresponding brackets in your code with the same
color. This is a great help when you’re working with
things like nested components, objects, or functions
that all have brackets or parentheses.

With this simple extension, it’s much easier to find


matching pairs and understand your code. The
biggest advantage of this extension is improved
navigation and accessibility. It also makes it easier

for others to read and understand your code.

Better Comments
Better Comments is an extension used for writing
human-friendly comments in your code, which is
helpful for you and anyone who is reading source-
https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery
code (especially for teams). Descriptive, human-

friendly comments save so much time for everyone

involved.

With this VS extension, you can use the following

characters after a double forward slash // to add

easier commenting:

*​ - for highlighted text

!​ - for errors and warnings

​? - for queries and questions

​ - for strikethrough

//


TODO - for to-dos

Snippets
Snippets are an excellent add-on for productivity.

Snippets is a collection of various extensions for the

most commonly used programming languages.

https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery


The ES7 React/Redux/GraphQL..... snippet is a popular

extension, for example, that allows you to use and

create shorthands for things you do over and over

again.

React snippets → ES7 React/Redux/GraphQL/React-

Native snippets

Icons
Icons allows you to create descriptive icons to help

differentiate between files and folders. This makes

your code more visual, so it’s easier to work as teams,

return to code after some time, or even just make the

experience more fun. For example, you could change

the color of a default folder icon using the command

palette.

There are a few different Icons extensions : →

Material Icon Them

vscode-icon

Easy icon them

Nomo Dark Icon Theme

Themes
One dark pr

Shades of Purpl

Palenigh

Monokai Pr

Material Theme

GitLens
The GitLens extension combines the capabilities of Git

with VSCode that allows you to visualize code

authorship via Git. GitLens is great for understanding

code better, so you can learn who, why, and when

https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery


code was changed. It also allows you to explore the
history and evolution of a codebase.

It also has many other features to use such as


Revision navigation through file histor
A current line blame annotation at the end of the
line showing the commi
A status bar blame annotation for the commit &
author who last modified the current line

Auto-Close Tag
Using this tool is non-negotiable, every developer
needs to use this in their vscode toolbox, it will not only
catch possible ‘stupid’ errors but it is very handy, you
really don’t have to spend your precious energy
thinking about the small stuff like making sure you
don’t forget to close your tag.

https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery


Auto Rename Tag
While VSCode inherently highlights matching tags
and immediately adds closing tags whenever you
type an opening tag, Auto Rename Tag automatically
renames tags that you change.

The extension works for HTML, XML, PHP, and


JavaScript, and removes the need to change your tag
names twice.

Note : a few people in the comments have mentioned


that Auto Rename Tag is quite buggy, so proceed with
care.

Path Intellisense
With over a 4.2 Million downloads. Path Intellisense can
help with auto-completion for the imports or path

https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery


after calling a component, and trust me, it helped me

big time.

Why do we have to memorize the file’s entire path, it

just a waste of resources, when this tool can just do it

for you?

NPM Intellisense
It has almost the same functionality as path

Intellisense, but they create this one for npm

packages.

NPM without a doubt can be a pain not just on how it

eats up our memory, but there are just so many in

there that’s a bit difficult to track.

If you have been working or planning on taking Nodejs,

then you’d see how helpful this tool is, importing

several packages or modules, and there are like

https://jsmastery.pro JavaScript Mastery


thousands of them, you really can’t just memorize

their paths, right?

Import Cost
I’ve recently just bumped into this extension, it simply

calculates the size of your imports and I just find it

useful to be able to decide whether to just import the

entire package or simply just import the specific

modules.

It helps, and you’ll appreciate it when you start

working on extensive projects.

Turbo Console Log


This extension make debugging much easier by

automating the operation of writing meaningful log

message.

Code Spell Checker
Code Spell Checker helps you catch common spelling
errors. We often have spelling mistakes in our code
when declaring a variable, writing a comment, etc.

Code Spell Checker is a spell checker that works well


with camelCase code. Many of us write code in
camelCase, so its really helpful.

REST Client
REST client is a really helpful extensions for backend
developers, as it allows you to send HTTP request and
view the response directly in Visual Studio Code.

Before this, we had to use softwares like Postman,


Insomnia, etc. It has many features, you can learn
more about it here.
