7 Best VSCode Extensions for Vue Developers

Adding the right VS Code extension to Visual Studio can make your life as a developer much easier.
They can help with formatting, scalability, and enforcing best practices, thus automating many of the easily forgotten tasks in the development process. They can also just be fun extensions that make our code look prettier/easier to write.
As a Vue enthusiast, I spent a lot of time looking for the best VS Code extensions for Vue developers. Here are some of the ways that make my life so much easier.
Are you ready?

Let’s get straight to the point.

Vetur

If you downloaded a VS Code extension from this post, it must be Vetur.
A Vue toolkit for VS Code - It provides Vue-specific syntax highlighting, code snippets for common code snippets, and more that all Vue developers need.
Vetur is well maintained — it even provides support for Vue3 Typescript.
There's really not much else to say about Vetur - get it. This will make your development better.

ESLint Plugin VueJS

Most developers are familiar with ESLint — one of the most popular linter tools that helps you keep your code consistent with best practices and readable across large code bases.
VueJS has its own ESLint plugin to check the syntax of single file components. I think it is one of the best tools for writing maintainable and scalable code.
There's nothing worse than looking at some legacy code and not even knowing where to start debugging it.
ESLint can help you stay organized, and with the addition of support for Vue3, you'll be writing scalable Vue projects.

Vue VSCode Snippets

Sarah Drasner's VSCode extension will save you a lot of development time. It provides autocompleted code snippets for common Vue use cases. In her own words…
Focuses on developer ergonomics from the perspective of real-world use of Vue. These include sections that I personally get tired of typing, as well as boilerplate that helps to remove quickly.
It's great for writing fast sfc, Vue directives, and quick access to lifecycle hooks.

Bookmarks

Many Vue developers' VSCode extensions don't really show their full potential until they get into larger projects.
This is how Bookmarks work. This extension lets you mark and name locations in your code. You can then switch between these different "Bookmarks" to increase your development speed.
Gone are the days when you had to carefully scroll up and down your files to find a certain feature.

Bracket Pair Colorizer

Bracket Pair Colorizer does exactly what it says - it takes matching brackets and gives them unique matching colors.
While this may seem like a small detail, it can really help you fix pesky nesting errors and can help you out too.
I also enjoy the visual effect of doing this - making my code colorful without making it too distracting.
Definitely worth a look.

Auto Rename Tag

Auto Rename Tag is a useful VSCode extension that will help prevent errors from appearing in your template code.
Whenever you go to change the HTML bracket pair of a tag (either the opening or closing tag), Auto Rename Tag will automatically rename the other one.
This small optimization can help prevent so many bugs, especially when dealing with large templates.

NPM Intellisense

NPM Intellisense will automatically complete your NPM modules when you write import statements in Javascript.
This saves you time remembering the exact name of an npm module.
I’ve used it in a lot of my projects, and it’s definitely something I’ve become very accustomed to.

in conclusion

In conclusion, there are a lot of VS Code extensions available for Vue developers.
While many of the changes in this list may seem trivial at first, these small changes can save you a lot of development time. I highly recommend at least trying them all.
Who knows – you might fall in love with some of them.
If you think there are other VS Code extensions that deserve to be on this list - let me know!
