VSCode Workspace Extensions Recommendations

This repository contains the collection of my extension lists while coding in Visual Studio Code (aka vscode). The lists are created based on the technology I used for development.

The Repository Structure

The extensions list is grouped by its prgramming language. Inside of those folders contains the technologies/frameworks that are used. Here is the structure of this repository in the tree view:

.
└── programming-languages
    └── technology/framework
        └── extensions.json

For example, if you want to see djangorestframework extensions recommendation you can go to this path:

.
└── python
    └── djangorestframework
        └── extensions.json

How to add the list as your workspace recomendation?

You can place extensions.json into your .vscode folder inside your root project directory.

./root-project-directory
└── .vscode
    └── extensions.json

Then, you can see the recommended extensions list by typing @recommended into the search bar on the extensions panel. See the screenshot below:

Create your own vscode extensions recommendation list (aka create vscode `extensions.json` file)

To create extensions.json, you need to run this command pallete (ctrl + shift + P):

This will brought you to your new extensions.json file.
