As a Full Stack developer, you are expected to be able to build quality web apps as quickly as possible. To accomplish this, it’s best to have the best setup that is optimized for the work you’re doing. If you’re like me, then you use Visual Studio Code (VS Code) as your editor of choice. VS Code is a very flexible, extendable editor that can be built up to your standards which is why I love it. There are a plethora of extensions from local servers to code suggestions and much, much more.
Table of Contents
In this post, I have compiled every extension that should be helpful to anyone using VS Code for Full Stack Development. I have split these extensions up like so:
Writing documentation can be a pain. Document This is a neat extension that will auto generate JSDoc documentation for your functions, classes, and more
Better Comments allows for more organized comments by adding color and notations. For example, if you add a “!” to the front of your comment then it will be bright red so you can see that it’s an alert that needs attention.
dotEnv add syntax highlighting for .env files, and what’s not to love about that?
Remote Development is one of the most helpful plugins if you’re working remotely or with Windows Subsystem for Linux. This extension allows for remote work with:
GitLens Demo video
GitLens is an integrated visualization of git inside of VS Code. I believe this extension is native to VS Code but it is super helpful when working with teams. GitLens adds inline blames to quickly call out the person who last broke the build. It also gives some helpful commands for diffing between commits and current work. Overall this is a very important extension to have for anyone on a team or even working on their own.
Git Graph does exactly what it sounds like. This extension adds an interactive graph for your git repositories. You can even perform git actions right from the graph. It’s also highly configurable so you can make it look however you want it to.
Beautify Logo
Beautify is an extension that will quickly format javascript, JSON, CSS, Sass, and HTML files. It relies on js-beautify under the hood but also adds the ability to define a .jsbeautfyrc file which allows for custom code styling in your projects. It’s also incredibly helpful for reading messy returned API data.
Settings Sync setup
If you use multiple systems or platforms then Settings Sync is a crucial extension. Setting Sync allows you to sync extensions, themes, and settings with a GitHub gist and then back to all your VS Code’s on each system. It has auto pushing and pulling so it’s a snap to keep every system up to date with your current setup.
IntelliSense comes standard with VS Code, but extra extensions that add to its capabilities are always handy! All the names below are links so just click on them to be taken to the extension page. Each adds the same type of capability to IntelliSense except for their own language
While working on a back end, it’s important to be able to test your API’ss. That’s exactly what Rest Client does. This extension enables a simple rest client within VS Code so that you can test your API’s from the comfort of VS Code.
Code runner demo
The Code Runner extension is very helpful for more than just server development as it allows you to run code within VS Code itself through quick keyboard shortcuts. You can even run snippets of code in case you aren’t entirely sure about that recursive function you just wrote. I use this a lot to confirm that small snippets are running the way I think and to check quickly.
node.js logo
The Node.js Extension Pack is a collection of helpful node.js extensions including:
package.json
.The PHP Debug extension adds an adapter between VS Code and XDebug. XDebug is a PHP extension that needs to be installed on your server. This allows for remote debugging of you PHP files. See this post about setting up XDebug for local debugging
PHP DocBlocker is a simple, dependency free PHP specific DocBlocking package. It features:
/**
above a class, function, class property@param
, @return
, @throws
php cs fixer is a PHP standards fixer extension. It provides simple commands that allow for quick standards fixes.
The phpcs extension is a linter extension that provides an interface with phpcs.net. To use it, make sure you have phpcs installed on your system to properly use this extension
The Python extension is a go to for any python developer as it adds linting, debugging, intelllisense, formatting, and more to your VS Code setup. It is usually the first thing recommended by VS Code when you open a python file.
If you’re using anaconda as your environment manager of choice then the Anaconda Extension Pack is what you want. This pack includes:
The Django extension adds syntax and snippets that should be helpful for anyone using it as their framework. Just make sure to file associations correct. It even provides an emmet configuration as well.
kite is an AI-powered autocomplete that’s a bit better than microsoft’s intellisense (in my opinion at least). It provides for AI-powered autocomplete, function signatures, and documentation. It does, however, require the Kite Engine to be installed.
Better Jinja is an extension that adds syntax highlighting for jinja2 including HTML, Markdown, YAML, Ruby, and LaTeX.
autoDocstring is another one of those extensions that does exactly what it sounds like. This extension provides the ability to automatically generate the bones of a proper docstring.
Pyright is a type checker for your python sources. It performs fast checking of your files while it runs in a “watch” mode. It doesn’t even require a python environment or third part package so it’s at least worth a try!
Maven for Java provides maven integration into VS Code. This extension provides:
VS Code is definitely not known for being that great with Java, but that’s because there’s no built in language support. The Language Support for Java extension provides just that!
In Java, and any other language, we always need to make sure we pass our tests. To do this, you need to be able to run your tests! Java Test Runner allows you to do just that.
You can’t just use a text editor without being able to debug the code your writing, now can you? For Java developers, Debugger for Java is the extension for you. It provides features such as:
When working with any Java project, it’s extremely helpful (almost necessary) to be able to view your dependencies as quick as possible. The Java Dependency Viewer adds a window so that you can see every dependency in seconds.
Spring is a super hot technology to use with Java. The Spring Initializr Java Support extension adds the ability to quickly start Spring Boot projects. This extension is based on Spring Initializr.
The Spring Boot Extension Pack adds a few different extensions for use including Spring Initializr. This pack includes:
.properties
and .yml
)* The Cloud Foundry Manifest YML Support extension provides support for editing Cloud Foundry deployment manifest .yml
files for Spring Boot application deploymentTSLint adds support for Typescript linting in VS Code. This extension uses the TypeScript TSLint language service plugin.
React.js logo
ES7 snippets adds a quick way of typing in those repetitive snippets within a react project such as creating a component. With ES7 snippets, creating a component is as easy as making the file, then typing rcc
and hitting enter. The extension will then create the basic react component, imports and all! There are many more snippets in there too, all just as helpful.
This extension is great for refactoring React projects. React Pure To Class replaces pure functional react components with class components.
The Angular 8 Snippets extension adds 242 snippets for Angular developers to use. These snippets include HTML, Typescript, and Angular 2,4,5,6, 7 & 8 Beta. Every snippet also follows the Angular style guide.
The Angular Language Service provides inline and external templates including:
The Angular Console extension integrates a UI for the Angular CLI within VS Code. Angular CLI is a command-line tool, which works great when you want to serve an application or generate a simple component. But it falls short once you start doing advanced things.
The Angular Files extension adds a quick scaffold template for fast creation of new angular files. It will even automatically scan your angular.json to determine which default options you have already set.
Vetur adds exceptional Vue tooling to VS Code by utilizing the vue-language-server. This extension includes features such as:
Vue 2 Snippets is another snippets extension that adds quick snippets for Vue developers to use to get their work done quick.
The Vue Peek extension extends Vue code editing with Go To Definition
and Peek Definition
support for components and filenames in single-file components with a <em>.vue</em>
extension.
Debugger for Chrome adds a debugger for Google Chrome (or any other target that supports the Chrome Debugger protocol) right into VS Code. It supports:
Live Server is exactly what it sounds like — a live server. This extension allows you to quickly fire up a local live server with hot reload for quick development of web pages. You can even add an extension to run server capabilities such as a local node.js server.
Color Picker demo
Color Picker enables a visual color picker in your files. No more googling “what is the hex code for Drunk-Tank Pink” and instead you can pick it visually… OK, so maybe you will have to google Drunk-Tank Pink’s hex code but I think there’s a larger problem there than forgetting the code for that.
Readability is making the reading of code easier. Obvious, I know, but this is a very important aspect to development as this is where it must be perfectly setup to read quickly and efficiently. We should be able to quickly point out and decipher class, function, and variable names just by their color.
Better Solarized Dark Screenshot (from extension page)
Better Solarized Dark is a fantastic clone theme of the original Solarized Dark for differentiating everything on the fly as each keyword has a distinct color, leaving variables to have a distinguishable color their own. The blue background is very easy on the eye, especially with a blue light filter applied (though it’s great without one as well). The contrast between foreground and background colors is easy on the eyes and allows for quick scanning to find exactly where that misnamed variable is.
Bracket Pair Colorizer Screenshot
Bracket Pair Colorizer is an extension that holds a dear place in my heart. This extension makes it so that bracket pairs are colored the same, allowing for quick deciphering of whether I need another bracket or parenthesis to close. By default, (), [], and {} are all color matched but this extension allows you to define your own bracket characters to match. This means if you feel really fun, you could make it so that semicolons are color matched.
Indent Rainbow Screenshot
Indent Rainbow is another great extension to have to increase “Read Ease.” This extension adds a color for each indent in the file making it easy and quick to distinguish what’s on the same indent level as other items. This is especially helpful for languages like Python which rely on indenting for scope.
VSCode Icons Demo video
The stock icons in VS Code aren’t that great which is where VSCode Icons comes in. This extension replaces the stock icons with a new, better looking set that is much easier on the eyes and also makes it extremely easy to decipher between file types in a flash.

There's a wise old saying: "Working with a full stack developer can lead to better technology solutions." And in recent years, this saying has proven to be true for many startups.
In the last few years, we have heard a lot about full-stack developers.
We know that a full-stack developer is a person who has complete knowledge of the different layers involved in application development. Whether you are dealing with the front or back end or working in the business layer, they take care of everything with ease.
But did you wonder why a full-stack developer is so important for a startup?
This blog will answer all such queries. So let's get started.
As per a development report published recently, it was seen that there had been a 206% increase in demand for full-stack developers from 2018 to 2020. This is because more companies seek multifaceted skills.
Full-stack developers or a full-stack development company are able to take care of all the development needs of your project. So whether it's front-end or back-end development or enterprise layer development, they are competent to work on everything. You can always hire full-stack developers for your business needs.
In terms of software development, there are front-end developers and back-end developers. Front-end developers create the interface, while backend developers design the software.
A full-stack developer can do everything. They take care of application design, server-side scripting, client-side coding, coding, administration, database creation, and any other project development needs.
The following are the responsibilities of a full stack developer that you hire:
Manage web development
Code applications and programs
Solve problems
Coordinate with other team members and developers
Think about testing techniques for web applications
In short, a full-stack developer has a strong understanding of the technologies that determine how a website looks, functions, and functions. The said developer must have a working knowledge of HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, Angular, Ruby, MySQL, Node, MongoDB, Apache, etc. The knowledge to work with animations and design will add a bonus point to a candidate's portfolio.
Over time, the skills required for full-stack development have expanded and evolved. Long ago, the LAMP stack included Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It is more than MEAN and beyond today.
Currently, a typical mean stack development service provides developers who can perform front-end development using JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and other JS frameworks; for the backend, they use Express and Node, and for databases, they follow MySQL and MongoDB.
When hiring a full-stack developer, companies are always looking for candidates who are capable of solving a problem. Full-stack developers are competent to handle all aspects of the project. They prove to be a practical solution for startups that are not willing to spend more money on many developers.
The main reason companies choose full-stack developers for their projects is their potential rather than their knowledge. Over time, companies teach them the skills they want them to have. In this way, in a few years, they learn different technological skills as the company expands.
Companies like to have people with business experience on board. A full-stack developer has the knowledge and expertise to work on the front-end, backend, and media architecture layers. This means that they are capable of performing better than an individual front-end or backend developer.
As full-stack developers can develop all aspects of a project, it is not necessary to form a team of experts. They will easily handle the project without help from anyone. This will save the right amount of money for the recruiting team.
Full-stack developers know different technologies, tools, and techniques. This means that when they take the project, they will be able to complete it faster. They will spend less time discussing and collaborating with the team on the project.
Full-stack developers have enough experience to create outstanding features for the final product, which will be able to excite the market. They have the ability to build a complete product from scratch. If you want to gain some benefits from your product, you will have to collaborate with these experts. Remember that not all developers are capable of handling the project from a 360-degree perspective.
A full-stack developer is able to work equally well on the front-end and the backend of a website or application. Front-end developers write code using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, which are able to control the appearance of the solution and how it interacts with the browser and users. Backend developers write code that connects the website or application with other content management systems. A full-stack developer is capable of handling both tasks. They are focused on meeting customer expectations and finding solutions on their own.
Full-stack developers take on different web projects. This has helped them gain in-depth knowledge of various technologies and the experience to find quick solutions in web and application development. Such understanding and knowledge improve the performance of the project and its reception in the market.
The main advantage of choosing a full-stack developer for your project is that they will come up with the complete structure of the project and offer their valuable input to the project as needed. Their services go beyond project development to maintain and optimize existing solutions.
Web design plays a crucial role in whether most people love or reject a website. Full-stack developers will make sure that the website is pretty user-friendly. They keep up with trends and technological innovations. To make sure their clients get the best interactive and responsive website, the developers implement intelligent features in their projects.
Full-stack developers have complete knowledge and experience of the different stages and aspects of website development. They are skilled enough to identify problems that may arise during the development of the project. They will propose long-term solutions to ensure that the website or application works optimally based on their findings.
In addition to leading your web project and enabling enhancements to it, full-stack developers move to the level of representing your product to stakeholders or your company at conferences. They can move quickly from one operation to another with ease, streamlining the development process.
If you are on a tight budget but want to create a fantastic website, then you should consider hiring full developers for the job. You can even think about having a remote full-stack developer for the project. As such, a developer is capable of handling all aspects of project development; you won't have to hire different people for the job. This will save you a lot of money.
It will be easy for developers to share responsibilities among the team and coordinate with each other for better project progress. This will result in faster delivery of the project.
When you hire full-stack developers for your project, you can be sure that they will take care of everything. Such a developer will be able to develop MVP from start to finish. If you hire a full-stack developer in the middle of the project, even then, you'll find a way to join the flow seamlessly. Such a developer will work towards quality control of the design project.
So these were the advantages of hiring a full-stack developer. I hope you have noted the changes that a full-stack developer can bring to the table and in your company. However, working with a full-stack developer is the best way to work with a top full-stack development company in India.
It is a good idea that full-stack development companies bring to your projects are phenomenal and groundbreaking due to the expertise and experience that full-stack development companies bring to your projects.

Last decade has seen introduction of lot of new software development framework and technologies. The purpose behind creating these frameworks is to serve the need of growing demand for web and mobile applications around the world.MEAN stack is one of these latest tools for web based software development.
What is Mean stack?
MEAN Stack development is basically a composition for MongoDB, Express js, angular.js and node.js. MEAN stack some time uses react.js and to form MERN stack.Let’s look at each component in more details.
Mongo DB: MongoDB is an open-source NoSQL database that will hold all of the application’s data. It allows developers to quickly change the structure of the data is persisted. Here it relies on an architecture that comprises of collection & documents and not table & rows.
Express JS: It is used to create web application easily. Also provides a slight simplification for creating a request to developer procedure. This way it gets easier to write modules, secure & fast applications.
Angular.Js: A Client-side framework, often referred to as simply Angular, it has, in fact, become a ‘default’ web front-end JavaScript formwork. Angular Js allows the client to seamlessly send and receive JSON documents.
Node.js: This java Script-based runtime is built on the version 8 engine by chrome. With a compilation of JavaScript source code to the machine code prior to execution, high-performing and scalable web applications are built by the developers.Experss is used to create a Restful API server. To connect mango dB and app server, the node.js driver is been used.
Benefits of MEAN Stack Development
Server and Client switch was never this easy
JavaScript is very popular and powerfuland it allows you to switch seamlessly between client-side and server-side. There will be no need for a third-party standalone server like Apache for deploying the app. The Node.js technology allows the developer to open the application on the server.
Multipurpose and Flexible
MEAN stack is truly wonderful and offers greater flexibility with development to developers. The framework allows for easy testing of the app on the cloud platform upon completing the development process. The development, testing and introduction into the cloud processes are done seamlessly. Any additional information can also be incorporated into the app by simply adding an extra filed on to the form. The technology responsible for this feature is MongoDB which, because it is specifically tailored for the cloud, offers automatic replication and full cluster support.
Build MVP quickly
MVP stands for a minimum viable product. It comprises to the app developed with the most basic and essential features. This set of features are the bare minimum of what users are searching for in a product. Being able to develop an MVP in the shortest time possible is critical for cutting costs as well as testing the product in the market. The MEAN stack makes it possible to create an MVP quickly because the framework offers fast development.
MEAN / MERN allows Isomorphic coding possible
There are two major OS platforms on which mobile operators, namely: iOS and Android. Anyone interested in creating an app for both platforms needs to do a separate project for each. But with the MEAN / MERN stack, this is not necessary. Apps developed using MEAN /MERN are isomorphic, meaning that they can work on multiple platforms without having to change the base code. Thus, the developer’s work is cut in half and more time is spent on enhancing the app already created. Businesses aiming to reach a wider market segment will therefore benefit from using the stack.
Ease in Development with Single Programming Language
MEAN the technologies based on JavaScript. The working environment for developers is thus enhanced, ensuring that they come up with products that will draw the attention of the users by everything that happens in one language. Single programming language also means that the backend response unit will be in a position to handle client requests quickly and efficiently as the program grows with time.
Responsive and Time-saving
If you need to develop an application with limited timelines, use MEAN stack to achieve that. It has infinite module libraries for node Js, which are ready for use. As a result this aspect saves your time and initially used to create modules from scratch. It also has an automated testing feature that instantly notifies you when a particular feature is broken. It gives you more time to polish your project to perfection.
Some of the benefits outlined above are just a little of what the company stands to gain in incorporating the MEAN stack in their app development projects. Enhanced app quality, reduced costs, and time for app development and also which to save time and money, or are just interested in managing a business.
DasinfomdiaPvt.Ltd. offer MEAN stack development services to produce adaptable, versatile web and mobile applications, which utilize JavaScript, on both client and server-side. We provide customer-centric Hire MEAN Stack Development Services.Our MEAN stack export is exceptional when it comes to MEAN stack technology and possess years of experience.
