There's one for Visual Studio that I use often - ignore the name, it works fine with VSCode too, and includes matches for F# things like Ionide's local database cache file. The gitignore extension provides you with an easy way to create "default" gitignore files that support the most common setups. Especially for beginners to F# who are not used to whitespace-sensitivity, this extension is invaluable to help you track such errors. If you put one space too many or too few, it'll highlight that line in red.
Indent RainbowĪnother visual aid, this extension will overlay indents of e.g 4 spaces with a lightly coloured background. It highlights corresponding start and end brackets with different colours (for nesting), and highlights brackets that don't have an associated open or close. If you use SAFE Stack and the Elmish model, this extension is invaluable. This is also useful for finding relative paths to scripts and DLLs, although F#5's built-in script NuGet support has somewhat lessened the need for this. "/foo/" will provide a listing of all files in the "foo" folder.
This clever extension will automatically show you files and directories as soon as you open a quote (") with what looks like a valid path e.g. Useful if you want a project to confirm to certain guidelines across a team - so useful not just in commercial projects but also if you have an OSS project and want contributors to follow a consistent style. This plugin attempts to override user/workspace settings with settings found in standard. Better Commentsīetter Comments highlights your code comments, such as //TODO in a different colour, and also includes a nice navigation panel to allow you to quickly locate such comments quickly and easily. Completely free to use (although you should consider contributing to the project if you use it commercially), it contains not only support for F# the language, but also full integration with code navigation and shortcuts as well as a selection of refactorings.
Ionide is the defacto F# extension for VS Code. Here's a list of some of the extensions that I use on a regular basis when working with F# and Azure which I find improve my productivity as well as make coding that bit more enjoyable (or less painful, depending on your perspective!). One of VS Code's best features is its extensibility model - there are thousands of them, from language plugins to data visualisation to source control managers. When I have time to actually code these days, I tend to jump between the "big three" F# code editors each have their own strengths.
