Text Editor - pmvdbijl7/cinemeet GitHub Wiki

I chose to use Visual Studio Code as a text editor. This is because I always worked with PhpStorm before and wanted to get to know a new text editor. VS Code seems like a very nice editor to work with because it allows you to install extensions easily and quickly, use Git, debug and much more. To fully customize VS Code to my own preferences, I have selected a theme that I like to work with. I also installed a linter and a formatter to 'clean up' my code. ESLint helps me find wrong code and Prettier ensures that my code is correctly formatted. Finally I have a preprocessor called Sass installed in my devDependencies. This makes typing CSS files easier and faster.

There are many different themes you can use on VS Code. VS Code itself already has a number of standard themes that you can use. But you can also install new themes via the extensions. I chose to use "Material Theme Darker High Contrast" as the theme. I chose this one because I like to work with a dark background as I am most often coding in the evening.

In addition to choosing a theme, I also adjusted a number of settings of my text editor. For example, I have adjusted the "tab-size". This way you can adjust the editor even more to your own preferences.

The extensions I have installed in my text editor are:

• ESLint (as linter)
• GitLens (to see where and when I committed code)
• Material Icon Theme (to show material icons as files)
• npm (to use npm inside of the VS Code terminal)
• Prettier (as formatter)
