Top 5 Extensions of Visual Studio Code

Visual studio code is my code editor. This editor is commonly accepted due to its broad spectrum of extensions and support from Microsoft.

Visual studio software is constructed by Microsoft on top of the Monaco Open Source editor. This project in Github gets about 14k stars.



Top 5 Extensions of Visual Studio Code List:-
1. GitLens
2. ESLint
3. Debugger from chrome
4. Project Manager
5. Path Intellisense


1. GitLens

Nearly every day of our lives we use Git. Gitlens is the plugin to supercharge git capacities for the visual studio software. With Gitlens, viewing the authorship of code, checking the amount of commit, viewing modifications between the last commit and current changes and so on is so simple.

By avoiding unnecessary code merges, Gitlens will save you loads of time. I strongly suggest Gitlens to you and I'm not alone, this project stars at Github about 3000 developers.


Open the extension folder and search for Gitlens to install Gitlens in the visual studio software. Use the Install button to install it.



2. ESLint

ESLint is the JavaScript linting tool. It checks and lets you know your code for common errors in the editor itself. It's like a virtual peer that validates your code as you write it.

This expansion is a must-have for users of Visual Code Studio to save tons of time in debugging and generate quality code. 

Install it first as a worldwide package before installing ESLint in the visual studio.
npm install -g eslint

Open the extension tab and search for ESLint to install ESLint in the visual studio software. Use the Install button to install it.
3. Debugger from chrome

This extension is intended solely for chrome-based front end developers. One of the main reasons why Chrome is a developer's go-to browser is due to its debugger.

Chrome shipped its browser to test the strong debugger. You can set breakpoint, view information at every step, and quickly determine the mistake.


This extension enables you to add Chrome debugger capacities to the visual studio software. You don't have to move windows from editor to browser back and forth. Inside the editor itself, write and test your code.

Open the extension section and search for chrome debugger to install debugger from the android extension in the visual studio software. Use the Install button to install it.
4. Project Manager

Do you operate and move back and forth on various projects? I understand I do, and the project manager was a savior in the visual studio software to handle various projects.

Due to its clutter-free organization and simple to handle project characteristics, I suggest this. Install the plugin in a straightforward keystroke, generate projects and switch between projects. Finding folders and files is no problem.

Open the extension tab and search for a project manager to install the project manager in the visual studio software. Use the Install button to install it.



5. Path Intellisense

Importing code from other documents is what everybody does every day. By autocompleting file names, this expansion makes the development time quicker. In statements, you type the file name and it will search and provide suggestions.
Beautiful, it's not! 

Open the extension section and search for Path IntelliSense to install Path IntelliSense extension in the visual studio software. Use the Install button to install it.
