Best VS Codesetup

Introduction

So I have been spending a lot ( so much ) time creating the best coding setup, this story is intended for Javascript or Typescript dev.

Extensions as separateparts

1. ColorTheme

Alt Text So this color theme is free to use(something u will need to click to close button ), but you will have the best opportunity to make your coding process so lovely Monokai Pro (spectrum palette is my choice)

2. Font

Alt Text This part is so important, but I need to warn you when you will start using this font, after that, you will not able to use another one because this font is almost perfect ( this font don't have ligatures), but don't worry I added to this font ligatures, and in the near future will write a story about it so you can buy in this site or download for free from some repo in github Operator mono (medium is my choice)
important to better coding effect additionally install italic variant, because Monokai Pro color theme supports multi types of fonts

3. Icontheme

Alt Text The most beautiful icon theme (at this moment, which I found) is Material Icon Theme. I think 34 million downloads something matter)

4.Product icontheme

At least default icons are not bad, but personally, I more prefer Carbon Product Icons or you can try Fluent Icons.

Final view of these four setups
Alt Text (random project as example)

Main Extensions

At first, extensions which I use everywhere

  1. Project Manager,Alt Text this extension gives u the opportunity to easily open your projects with paths which you will set up, it will be useful when you need some part of code in some project, and with this extension, you can easily navigate.
  2. Indent Rainbow,Alt Text in this img, not the best ilustration, but I totaly recommend use this extension, this effect I setuped in setting.json with this config Alt Text just changing alpha of black color, can be custom, for sure.
  3. Colorful CommentsAlt Textthis extension will help you create more human-friendly comments in your code.With this Extension, you will be able to categorize your code by a special color. Also, you can manually change colors in settings, and if you want u can add a background color.And here u can see integration with italic font type of Operator mono font.
  4. Change caseAlt Text give you the opportunity to quickly change the case (camelCase, CONSTANT_CASE, snake_case, etc) of the current selection or current word. So useful with a custom keyboard shortcut or Shift + Ctrl + P.
  5. Save all, if you working on a big project as always if u running a server with nextjs for example, everyone knows that saving the file by open, will at any time re-build it, so this extension partially resolves this problem.Alt Text
  6. Toggle Quotes, with Ctrl and some selection you can

    easily change quotes type from '' to "" or  ``
  7. Bracket Pair Colorizer 2, with this config

    "bracket-pair-colorizer-2.colors": ["Gold", "Orchid", "LightSkyBlue"],"bracket-pair-colorizer-2.colorMode": "Independent","bracket-pair-colorizer-2.highlightActiveScope": true,"bracket-pair-colorizer-2.showBracketsInGutter": true,
  8. Image preview, the name says everything for itself, Alt Text near a number of lines you will see a small preview of the image.

  9. Highlight Matching Tag, PzVAkYdU_o small but useful tag highlighting extensions

  10. Path IntellisenseAlt Textthe must-have extensions that autocomplete filenames.

For databasecontrol

For RESTprocess

Other extensions

Also, additional extensions which everybody knowns

Conclusion

For sure you can use all extensions which I describe, but most likely it will so laggy, so better practice (if you use this extension not often) is to use the extension only when you need it. And yeah, I know that everybody knows that, but probably this story will useful for somebody.

Thanks for reading, I so appreciate this .
