  • csharpier

    CSharpier is an opinionated code formatter for c#.

    I agree 100%. So much so, that I think every professional language should have it. Every tab and space one has to do manually is lost effort.

    It still amazes me that C# doesn't have good opinionated formatter. It has lot of non-opinionated formatters, but I found one: Csharpier [1], check it out. It's slow, but at least the author is trying.

  • environment

    My bash scripts and such. (by jwalton)

    This is the set of VSCode plugins I install:

    If you're after some snippets, this is my modest collection:

    https://github.com/jwalton/environment/tree/master/vscode/pr...

    Mostly I add snippets like `rrrfn` to create a new react function component (it starts with `rrr` so it won't show up in suggestions unless I explicitly want it), or "jestfile" to scaffold out a test case.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • prettier

    Prettier is an opinionated code formatter.

    I couldn't disagree more. The whole debacle around break before else caused me to avoid using them for any projects going forward: https://github.com/prettier/prettier/issues/840

    For JS formatting, I either use Rome or ESLint.
