It's difficult enough to learn how to program or code, solve problems, come up with brilliant ideas to change the world, fix bugs, and do all of the other things that come with being a programmer or developer.
Looking for methods to make work easier is always appropriate, and many development tools have features to help with this. The Emmet toolkit, which we'll be looking at, is well-known in the developer community. This toolkit is associated with numerous text editors, and we'll discuss it in combination with one of the most popular integrated development environments (IDEs) available, Visual Studio Code.
Because of its ease of use, Visual Studio Code is already the go-to solution for both beginners and experts in the sector. The software program includes all of the necessary tools, such as source control integration, an integrated terminal, a beautifier, and debugger. With VS Code, you can instantly purchase a plug-in from the market if something is lacking.
Emmet is a term you should be aware of if you're new to using text editors. If you're familiar with VS Code, you've probably heard of it before. In this article, we explore how to use Emmet in Visual Studio Code to improve our workflow.
What is Emmet?
Emmet is a plugin or developer tool kit that helps make your work faster and substantially enhances HTML and CSS workflows.
It comes pre-installed in VS Code and allows you to write your code quickly. If you’re working in your VS Code editor for the first time and you want to begin writing code, you need to start with HTML, where the building blocks of code are formed.
To get started, you need the boilerplate statement, which contains the meta element, doctype, title element, body element, etc. The Emmet abbreviation saves us the time and effort of writing all of these statements one at a time by generating the boilerplate automatically. All we have to do is use shift +, and voila, we have everything set up for us in seconds.
