emmet VS ESLint

Emmet is a content/code assist tool to write code faster and more efficiently. It comes standard with VS Code so there is no need for any plugin. The concept is simple: you start typing an Emmet abbreviation, press TAB or 'ENTER', and a full Emmet snippet for that abbreviation will come out.

Not equivalent, but arguably more useful for manual authoring: Emmet [0] was all the range a while back, and I still use it to write HTML. It comes naturally if you're used to writing CSS-like selectors, and mostly gets out of the way.

DSL-wise, I've rather enjoyed Clojure's Hiccup [1].

LiveCodes provides many of the commonly used developer tools. These include Monaco editor (that powers VS Code), Prettier, Emmet, Vim/Emacs modes, Babel, TypeScript, SCSS, Less, PostCSS, Jest and Testing Library, among others. All these tools run seamlessly in the browser without any installations or configurations. It feels like a very light-weight version of your own local development environment including the keyboard shortcuts, IntelliSense and code navigation features.

local lspconfig = require('lspconfig') local configs = require('lspconfig/configs') local capabilities = vim.lsp.protocol.make_client_capabilities() capabilities.textDocument.completion.completionItem.snippetSupport = true lspconfig.emmet_ls.setup({ -- on_attach = on_attach, capabilities = capabilities, filetypes = { 'html', 'typescriptreact', 'javascriptreact', 'css', 'sass', 'scss', 'less', 'javascript' }, init_options = { html = { options = { -- For possible options, see: https://github.com/emmetio/emmet/blob/master/src/config.ts#L79-L267 ["bem.enabled"] = true, }, }, } })

Emmet is a tool that allows you to quickly generate HTML and CSS code by using abbreviations and expanding them into full code.

One interesting plugin from that list is an amazing tool called Emmet, which helps you write HTML and CSS faster by using simple abbreviations that are then converted into code blocks. However, there is one minor drawback; by default, Emmet is not enabled for React in VS Code.

As you can see, emmet can help you avoid doing repetitive tasks. Please click here to find out more about emmet acronyms.

You might also consider adding snippets or Emmet support to your IDE. This will let you reuse existing templates that you use frequently so you don't have to waste time with the initial development.

ESLint: A pluggable and configurable linter tool for identifying and reporting on patterns in JavaScript.

Automating code checks with static code analysis allows us to enforce code styling effectively. By integrating tools into our workflow, we can identify errors at an early stage, while coding instead of blocking us at the end. For instance, flake8 checks Python code for style and errors, eslint performs similar checks for JavaScript, and prettier automatically formats code to maintain consistency.

If you're a developer, you're surely familiar with Prettier and ESLint. With over 8 years of existence, they have established themselves as references in the JavaScript ecosystem.

eslint is used to avoid code errors

No lint errors: The committed code does not contain any lint errors (eslint).

Let’s walk through the steps for a one-time setup to configure husky pre-commit and pre-push hooks, ESLint with code styles conventions, prettier code formatter, and lint-staged. Husky automatically runs a script on each commit or push. This is useful for linting files to enforce code styles that keeps the entire code base following conventions.

ESLint

1. Lack of Static Code Analysis Static code analysis tools like TypeScript and ESLint play a crucial role in identifying and preventing bugs. TypeScript provides static typing, enhancing the robustness of the code. ESLint detects issues and enforces coding standards. The absence of these tools can significantly elevate the likelihood of bugs due to the lack of early detection and guidance provided during development.
