I ❤ VSCode and its extensibility. You can browse for available extensions from within VSCode (CTRL+SHIFT+X) or via the marketplace.
Besides the regular C# and Azure(Functions) extensions I use, these are my favorite VSCode extensions:
- Gistpad: Write gists without leaving VSCode. My all time fav! I use gists more and more these days, for micro blogging, taking notes, and capturing ideas. ✍
- REST Client: Great alternative for Postman. 📫
- GitLens: Easily check the git history of a file/line of code.
- Code Spell Checker : I make typos, lost of them. ✅
- markdownlint: Points out all my markdown errors. 📝
- Live Share: Share your code with ease, it's amazing! 🤯
- Azure CLI: I ❤ Azure CLI. This extension is great when you're writing larger scripts and want to run commands directly from the editor.
- YAML: I still don't like writing YAML. But this at least prevents me from going insane. 🤷♀️
- Bracket Pair Colorizer: Trust me, you need this. I wish it worked on brackets in YAML values as well though. 🌈
On my list to explore:
- Codetour: Record and playback guided walkthroughs of your codebase 🗺. I really have to try this for #AzureFunctionsUniversity! <⚡>
