Extensions

Extensions add features to VS Code: linting, formatting, language support, and more. Install them from the Extensions panel (Cmd + Shift + X). Start with a few useful ones; too many can slow the editor down.

Popular for web dev:
- ESLint             -> shows code problems
- Prettier           -> auto-formats code
- Tailwind CSS IntelliSense -> class autocomplete
- GitLens            -> see who changed each line
- Error Lens         -> errors shown inline

// settings.json: format on save
{
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode"
}
