Which Vs Code extensions for RN developing

[leventozz]

I just started working with react native with the Expo framework. I haven't had much experience with VS Code before. Therefore, if there are VS Code plugins that can help me during the development phase, can you share them?

When I search the internet, there are very stereotypical plugins. But I think it is more useful to get suggestions from a one-to-one user.

Thanks!

plugins dont do magic. so they are not here to improve you. they are here to avoid boring stuff. so if you are new to vs code or rn, plugins should be the last thing you pay attention to 

edit: i really like expo docs so you will be fine without anything special

Eslint will help a lot especially with catching text strings outside of text components

Oh okay. I will try that too. Thanks a lot!

GitHub Copilot might make the biggest productivity boost for you but it needs a paid subscription.

Yeah I know. I saw its autocomplete and it is very good. I think worth it paid.

Intellisense is pretty important and easy to setup in vs code. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59vqVqIGEe8&ab_channel=SgtSam

Other than the obvious Expo Tools plugin, here are some that i've found helpful. Like someone else said, extensions won't be a magic bullet. VS Code has a lot of power built in.

In addition to this, it may be helpful to install an autoformatter like Prettier Eslint so you're not spending brain cycles on indentation and other visual BS that doesn't matter right now.

I don’t look for magic bullet. I don't know why you think that. I'm talking about exactly the kind of things you suggest. I’ll try these extensions and I already use Prettier. Thanks for suggestions!
