  • The Live share extension allows you to edit collaboratively with someone else. This is quite new, we'll see if we can make use of it in class.

  • Live Server Preview shows you what your code will look like once it's on a webserver and being observed in a browser

  • Beautify makes it easier to prettify your code

  • github Pull Requests integrates VSCode with Github. The interface is becoming increasingly powerful.

  • Mocha Test Explorer runs tests from inside VSCode. It replaces the often-buggy Mocha Sidebar. Experimental for now, hopefully it works!

  • NPM allows yo uto run node and npm commands right from the editor without opening a terminal.

  • Markdown Shortcuts adds some hints for markdown syntax.

  • ESLint gives fnatastic hints about how to improve your JavaScript code.

  • HTML Hint helps you to write better HTML

  • Org-mode enables syntax highlighting for some of the README files in our repositories.

  • Quokka is a powerful tool that does some evaluation of javascript from inside your editor. For instance, you can use it to check the value of a variable:

    function returnArray (first, second, third) {
      // you can define the array using "new Array ()" or just "[ , , ]"
      // don't forget to return it
      // return ; // add the falue here!
    }
    
    let a = returnArray (1, 3,5);
    a
    

    Quokka will show the value of a in your Vscode editor window, like this: Check the Quokka docs for more info Have Fun!
