what are the best VScode extentions that could be useful for coldfusion development?

I like GitLens and "SQL Database Projects". "Patrial DIff" is handy as well.

Check out the ColdFusion extension by Ilya Verbitskiy or CF Builder.

Here are the ones I usually install: CFML: KamasamaK.vscode-cfml (I use this one for CFML, but I haven't compared the Ilya Verbitskiy one or the cfbuilder extension) Auto close Tag (I like this because it saves me keystrokes): formulahendry.auto-close-tag Highlight Matching Tag (helps to quickly see the start/end tag that corresponds with the tag your cursor is on): vincaslt.highlight-matching-tag change-case (comes in handy from time to time when my OCD compels me to fix other peoples variables that I think should be camelCase): wmaurer.change-case If I am on a machine where I will be workign with git (which is most of the time) then I use GitLense as steve suggested above: eamodio.gitlens

Regarding CML I also like "CFML Component Paths". Other usefull (to me) extensions are Better Align, Docker, Docker Explorer JSON Tools, XML Tools. If you do a lot of HTML/JS work, there are some good extensions for that, too.

CFML by KamasamaK for CFML ESLint and CodeMetrics for JavaScript GitLens and GitGraph for Git BetterComments and ToDo Tree

@Scott Bennett I'm liking that change-case extension! Was happy to see it includes Pascal case too.

The change-case extension shouldn't be needed any more. Search for transform in keyboard shortcuts to see all the built-in case change functionality.

interesting... I don't see camel case though... and what are Kebab Case, Snake Case, and Title Case?

Odd. Camel case is there for me.

🤷🏻‍♂️

No Pascal case listed.

Ah, I just applied an update and camel case is there now

Title case is useful for titles and names of people.

so I guess it is super new

Hmm, yeah no Pascal case. Odd to leave that out.

definitely still a lot more options with change case

You say that like Pascal case isn't the most important case of all the cases. 🙂

Yeah, I used to use the change-case extension as well, but really no need for me any more. Although, if you're a dinosaur that still uses Pascal case... 😉

They are all equally important to those who use them (on an individual subjective basis)

Yeah, case preference is almost as bad as spaces versus tabs.

Tabs FTW

You know it, brother!

Blasphemy!

This is my new favorite youtube

if you work on multiple projects, or specific modules or some other "subdivision" of your code, the File Focus extension is great. It allows you to group your files under a particular name (or in my case, Jira story numbers), so if/when you have to return to that particular project or task, you don't have to find the relevant files, because you can add them under a named "focus group" .

I have always used vscode workspaces for each project.... then keep my various workspaces open in different vscode windows. Though I can see on a very large application with lots of files how I might be able to use this File Focus extension to group together code that is related

with different projects/workspaces Peacock is a good tool, too. Different colors for VSCode for each workspace. Makes it easy to see which window to switch to when multiple workspaces are open in multiple windows
