Tools you will probably be using in your JavaScript journey, I will keep this list updated as I go. Some obvious tools like NPM and Yarn will be added along with the other obvious stuff, but I will be adding them once I have something usefull to point out about them.
1- A web browser
Web browser: On the market today, relevant to JavaScript development, there are 3 browsers, 1.1- Firefox, 1.2- Safari (And browsers based on it’s WebKit such as some browsers based on it), and everything else that are really all based on 1.3- google chrome (Yes, including both brave and MS edge).
I personally use Firefox, and for development purposes, I use “Firefox Browser Developer Edition“, I would probably make sure i have chrome installed, at least for cross browser compatibility, WebKit/Safari, I have never found a need for it, but it is there is you want to grab it
VS Code
Microsoft s super popular IDE, a great tool, itself written in JavaScript (Electron), but not so useful for JavaScript without a few good extensions, so here are a few extensions that you might need for Javascript development
- VS Code JavaScript (ES6) snippets by charalampos karypidis
This extension provides shortcuts to insert code directly into your project - ESLint by MidcroSoft
Integrates ESLint JavaScript into VS Code. ESLint itself is a command line tool you run against your code to analyze it for potential problems, now, it is a VS Code plugin ! - DotENV by mikestead
Do you use a lot of .env variables ? I already use this for Laravel development, but it is also good for JS development, this tool adds highlighting and more to environment
