Tips To Increase Productivity In A React Application

Introduction

 
In this blog, you will learn about productivity tools and code formatting extensions in a React App using Visual Studio Code. This will help you to achieve faster development.
 
Step 1
 
Install Visual Studio Code. If you already have it installed, install a prettier code formatter. It is an opinionated code formatter that enforces a consistent style by parsing your code and re-printing it with its own rules. It takes the maximum line length into account, wrapping code when necessary.

Step 2
 
Now Go to File > Preferences > Settings
 
 
 
 
 
Step 3
 
Install simple react snippets, an essential collection of React Snippets and commands.
 
These snippets were selected carefully from my own day-to-day React use. Not everything in React is included here. This is a hand-selected set of snippets that work the way that you would expect, not just a copy of the documentation.

To import a react module type imr and tab. It will import your react module.

To create a class, type cc and tab. It will create a class component. 
cc - Class Component
  1. class | extends Component {

  3.   render() {  
  4.     return ( | );  
  5.   }  
  6. }  
To create a class with a constructor, type ccc and tab. It will create a class component with a constructor.

ccc - Class Component With Constructor

  1. class | extends Component {  
  2.   constructor(props) {  
  3.     super(props);  
  4.     this.state = { | };  
  5.   }  
  6.   render() {  
  7.     return ( | );  
  8.   }  
  9. }
