Code Quality

TODO Highlighter

It highlights your comments that start with \\ TODO: or \\ FIXME:. Additionally it adds a command to list all Todos in your source code so you can identify and complete / fix the code.

If you use a different convention in your codebase you can configure the plugin to fit your use case.

Spell Checker

This complains when you start creating variable names that have no meaning. While ensuring that your documentation does not contain any spelling mistakes.

You can add words to a project dictionary and multiple additional languages are available.

Spell Checker

TSLint

It uses the local tslint.json and integrates the information into VSCode. You can enable ‘tslint.autoFixOnSave’ that applies the defined rules (that can be autofixed).

Theme

Cobalt2

This is a great dark theme with high contrast color choices. Personally I do not follow the official documentation on how to set up the theme. (Too many steps and it requires the font Operator Mono that costs 200USD )
