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

Let's cut to the chase.

Vetur

If you download an VS Code extension from this article, it will be Vetur.
An Vue toolkit for VS Code-it provides Vue-specific syntax highlighting, code snippets for generic code snippets, and more that all Vue developers need.
The Vetur is well maintained-it even provides support for the Vue3 Typescript.
There really isn't much else to say about Vetur-see. 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 in line with Best Practice 1 and readable in large code bases.
VueJS has its own ESLint plug-in to check the syntax of individual 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 old code and not even knowing where to start debugging it.
ESLint can help you stay organized, and as support for Vue 3 increases, you will be writing extensible Vue projects.

Vue VSCode Snippets

The VSCode extension of Sarah Drasner will save you a lot of development time. It provides auto-populated code snippets for commonly used Vue use cases. In her own words …
Focus on developer ergonomics from the perspective of Vue used in the real world. These include sections where I am personally tired of typing, and boilerplate files that help to delete quickly.
It is ideal for writing fast sfc, Vue directives, and fast access lifecycle hooks.

Bookmarks

Many Vue developers' VSCode extensions do not really show their full potential until they enter large projects.
This is how Bookmarks works. This extension allows you to mark and name positions in your code. Then, you can switch between these different "Bookmarks" to improve the development speed.
In order to find a feature, you need to scroll your file carefully up and down, so that the days are gone forever.

Bracket Pair Colorizer

Bracket Pair Colorizer does exactly what it says-it needs matching brackets and gives them a unique matching color.
Although this may seem like a small detail, it does help you fix annoying nesting errors, and it can also help you.
I also enjoy the visual effect of doing this-making my code colorful without letting it be too distracting.
It's definitely worth seeing.

Auto Rename Tag

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

NPM Intellisense

When you write an import statement in Javascript, NPM Intellisense automatically completes your NPM module.
This can save you time to remember the exact name of an npm module.
I've used it on many of my projects, and it's definitely something I've become very accustomed to.

Conclusion

In summary, there are many VS Code extensions available to Vue developers.
While many of the changes in this list may seem trivial at the start of 1, these small changes can save you a lot of development time. I strongly recommend at least trying all the methods.
Who knows-you may fall in love with one of them.
If you think there are other VS Code extensions that deserve to be on this list-please let me know!
