If you’re looking at ways to clean up our code, reduce complexity and improve functionality - these refactoring extensions will help you move faster.
1. JavaScript Booster
JavaScript Booster is a code refactoring tool that features several coding actions such as converting var to const or let, removing redundant else statements, and merging declaration and initialization. Just note the light bulb at the left and press it to learn how you can transform the code under the cursor.
2. Stepsize
Stepsize allows you to bookmark and report technical debt and code to refactor. If you come across code that requires refactoring but you don’t have time to do it right away you can make it visible and raise an issue directly in VS Code.
- Bookmark code while you work & create issues
- Label your issues
- Take them to sprint planning meetings & share knowledge with your teammates

It allows extracting JSX into new component, converting Class Components to Functional Components and vice-verse, wrapping JSX with conditional, renaming state variables and their setters simultaneously, and more.
5. SonarLint
SonarLint lets you fix coding issues before they exist: like a spell checker, SonarLint highlights Bugs and Security Vulnerabilities as you write code, with clear remediation guidance so you can fix them before the code is even committed. SonarLint in VS Code supports analysis of JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, HTML & PHP code.
