Code and documentation helpers
- Path Intellisense
- Prettier - Code formatter
  - In order to avoid TS lint errors, you must set the prettier.singleQuote and prettier.semi variables to true in the VS Code User Settings (Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+, in Windows and Linux or Cmd+, in macOS or press F1 and start writing User settings).
  - Another useful feature to avoid TS lint errors is to set the prettier.trailingComma variable to all to trail commas wherever possible.
  - Besides this, a .prettierrc JSON file can be included in the root folder of any Angular project with the following configuration:
```
{
  "singleQuote": true,
  "trailingComma": "all",
  "arrowParens": "always",
  "semi": true
}
```
  - Last but not least, the prettier configuration can be also included in every JavaScript/TypeScript project inside the package.json file adding its own key:
```
"prettier": {
  "singleQuote": true,
  "trailingComma": "all",
  "arrowParens": "always",
  "semi": true
}
```

Requirements

Microsoft Visual Studio Code

In order to install this package Microsoft Visual Studio Code 1.51.0 at least must be installed. It is recommended to upgrade VS Code in any case.

Python support

The new Python extensions enable VS Code as a 1st class citizen Python IDE. We recommend to use tools like pyenv (here for Linux/macOS or here for Windows) to install multiple Python versions and make it local to every project.

C/C++ support

See C/C++ for Visual Studio Code for a Guide on how to configure and use the extension enabling C/C++ support for Visual Studio Code. This provides support for cross-platform C and C++ development using VS Code on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

AsciiDoc support

AsciiDoc extension comes with Asciidoctor.js library for preview bundled. If you want to use the Ruby version of Asciidoctor you need to change the AsciiDoc.use_asciidoctor_js setting to false.

In order to be able to use the AsciiDoc Ruby version you have to install Ruby on your system and the Asciidoctor tool running the following command in the terminal:

gem install asciidoctor
