I have a Potato PC, that's why I've never seen what it feels like using IntelliJIDEA and whatever you privileged guys are using, but I am happy with my VS code by installing some extension : ) just joking ๐ let's be formal for the sake of some serious guys who are reading it.
If you're a developer, you know that a good Integrated Development Environment (IDE) can make a huge difference in your productivity and workflow. However, not everyone has the resources or the need for a full-featured IDE. If you prefer a simpler text editor such as Visual Studio Code (VS Code), installing a few extensions can still get many of the benefits of an IDE.
In this blog, we'll take a look at 10 extensions that can turn your text editor into a full-featured IDE:
IntelliSense - This extension provides intelligent code completion based on your codebase (based on the language you are working with ).
Debugger - This extension allows you to debug your code directly in your text editor (based on the language you are working with ).
Git integration - Extensions such as GitLens add powerful Git integration to your text editor, including the ability to visualize code history, compare changes, and perform blame analysis.
Code formatting - Extensions such as Prettier can automatically format your code according to a predefined style guide, saving you time and making your code easier to read.
Linting - Extensions such as ESLint can check your code for style and syntax errors and provide suggestions for fixes.
Refactoring - Extensions such as Code Runner can help you safely refactor your code by providing features such as renaming variables and extracting functions.
Code snippets - Extensions such as HTML Snippets can save you time by providing useful code snippets for common tasks, although this extension is deprecated, but you can still use it.
Test runners - Extensions such as Mocha Test Explorer can make it easy to run and debug your tests directly in your text editor.
Database tools - Extensions such as MySQL Workbench can provide tools for working with databases directly in your text editor.
Cloud integration - Extensions such as Azure Functions can make it easy to develop, debug, and deploy to the cloud directly from your text editor.
You can turn your text editor into a powerful IDE that meets your specific needs and workflow by installing a few of these extensions.
