My focus lately as a developer has been building websites & web apps, and VS Code is the main tool I use to get that done. It's the most popular IDE/code editor among developers, according to the 2022 Stack Overflow Developer Survey. So, I want to show you how I use VS Code, my preferred extensions, my current theme, and my favorite VS Code settings that I’ve been using for many different types of web development.

And what theme are you running?

Here are some interesting extensions you might find useful: Error Lens - Highlights errors and warnings inline rather than having to hover over red swiggly lines to inspect the error/warning Git Lens - Nice way to see who wrote certain pieces of code quickly. Very useful if the project is developed by a team. Path Intellisense - Autocompletes file names Thunder Client - Lightweight tool to make api calls like postman or insomnia Theme - Atom One Dark, since everyone was commenting what themes they use 😅

@izkuipers Год назад

Error lens and Git Lens are two amazing extensions. Being able to see what errors have occured inlined into your code is amazing

@LilYet Год назад

I don’t like atom dark to vibrant my favourite is firefly pro midnight

Error Lens clutters the editor but I will get used to it.

@justd1zzy383 Год назад

Hi @Fantom, thanks for sharing! I just started coding last month and this would help a lot. Would like to add "Prettier" as well which makes the codes easier to read not sure if any of those 4 has this feature. :)

@martinelsasser9729 Год назад

Nice video. Some extensions I really like are: REST Client: To make requests. It is script based and supports comments, thus you can use it as a temporary replacement for API docs. Find it to be really useful. Remote - SSH: Really great if you are working with Remote Servers. JavaScript REPL: Is really nice if you are working on some algorithm and want a fast response to what you are tweaking. MongoDB for VS Code: Basically a database client for MongoDB within VSCode. Theme Cobalt2 - Really pleasing to the eye.

@geisenm Год назад

We had a guy join the team about a year ago, 25+ year industry vet. Whole team uses VSCode with a recommended set of extensions but he was used to his Vim and we weren’t going to force him to make the change. It didn’t end up working out, and it was too little too late but he did eventually realize he made a mistake when he watched me CMD-click through a series of inherited classes that had been taking him literal hours to navigate before

Shoulda told him about the vim extension for vs code lol

@PamellaCardoso-pp5tr Год назад

bro just didn't knew about LSP navigation on neovim. right now i can do "gd" on any thing on my code and it simply takes me to the damn definition, even if it's something defined on the language itself, it shows me the actual implementation of said function lol. the guy you hired were just a vim noob tbh

@romanherrera2060 Год назад

@voidmind Год назад

Looking at your chosen theme and the fact that you like dimmed pastels in other contexts, the Rainier theme would probably interest you, since it's a middle ground between high saturation colors and dimmed pastels (the colors look like chalk). BTW you can disable font ligatures (the merged characters) in the VS code setting and Fira Code (or any other programming font) would render characters without them.

@Nerkzor Год назад

THANK! I've been looking for a well rounded theme and Rainier does exactly that! I have been using Fira Code for a long time now with ligatures, I prefer with than without now.

@kimuyu Год назад

It's beautiful. Will be my vs code theme for a long time

Thanks a lot for sharing, It's a very helpful content 😃, I really have a question for you: Where did you learn react and nodejs??

@izkuipers Год назад

One thing you didn't cover is your font, because that's one thing I did customize in VSCode. My font is Source Code Pro and my theme is One Dark Pro Flat. Oh, and btw, F2 can also change tag names in React, Svelte, etc. Just put your cursor on a tag and hit F2, specify the new name and it'll update it.

@brhh Год назад

the live server extension is fairly good for beginners but for more professional use of vanilla js html css coding, it's better now to just npm init vite and start a vanilla project through vite

@iagod6660 Год назад

reason for lint instead of hint is probably because a a "Linter" checks for coding, HTML isn't coding, it's just a markup language, so he gives you a hint to make it better

I've been using emacs for my workflow, it works like a charm, it really is funny how people are being bound to an editor/IDE, but in a real world you have to get things done, if spending a lot of time configuring an editor is actually making you more productive, then go for it.

@dmitriyobidin6049 Год назад

3:45 But Fira Code doesn't force you to use ligatures, you can turn them off. Tbh, difference between editors really matters when you thinking is much faster than your typing. For me it is true maybe 10% to 20% of the time. And i tried very hard to force myself to learn vim, but in reality it's just not my cup of tea. I'm not fast enough to fully utilize vim but i'm not ready to give up that idea :)

@d-e-v-esh Год назад

Vim or neovim even with all the plugins is pretty meh at best and there is no upside of using it these days. Almost every system has a UI. The best way to use it is to just use a vim extension for whatever code editor you use.

@abdelrahman9186 Год назад

10:23, you don't actually need this extension, just hit ( f2 ) and rename the tag to whatever you want, it works for renaming other things like: variables, functions, classes... etc.

@yb3985 Год назад

yeah, nowadays f2 (refactor) is quite impressive. In my case, i use it a lot to rename variable, function, and class across different files, and it also automatically saved.

@theowillis6870 Год назад

theme: doki theme. allows you to have anime girl stickers in your editor and a theme surrounding it (sayori-dark for the bg and senko for the sticker is my fav and current) terminal: powershell (WSL is great. but until you have todo git commits. then you have togo through adding your git token) wakatime: this is an extension that tracks your time coding discord RPC. code runner as well. saves time so you wont have to write in the terminal to save your code. you juts press a button.

My favourite themes by far are the dark variants of Gruvbox Material and Everforest, both by the same guy as far as I know. They have softer contrast though, so probably not a super helpful recommendation, hey. For those who like less pop, though, I'd highly recommend either, especially the first. I actually don't mind ligatures either; I generally use JetBrains Mono day to day.
