I’ve been using VSCode for 4 years from its beta and installed over 50+ extensions.

Here is the list of my 5 useful extensions you need to know about.

5. Todo Tree

Todo Tree is a simple extension that searches a workspace for comment tags like TODO and FIXME, and displays them in a tree view in the explorer pane.

4. Placeholder Images

This extension generates and inserts placeholder images into HTML.

Useful on the prototype phase.

You can use Unsplash, placehold.it, and LoremFlickr with it.

3. Better Comments

The Better Comments extension creates human-friendly comments in your code.

This extension categorizes your annotations into:

• Alerts
• Queries
• TODOs
• Highlights

2. Faker

A simple extension to generate fake data.

Very useful on early-stage development.

You can generate:

• address
• commerce
• company
• database
• date
• and many more…

1. Code Time

It’s an open-source plugin for automatic programming metrics and time tracking.

You can:

• Track your progress during the day
• Check out the coding activity
• Generate code time summary
• Generate data visualizations

In the end…

I hope you’ll find these extensions useful for yourself!
