Oops, didn't realise that square brackets are service tags.

One thing that might be worth considering adding to the repo (and would thus require an additional negated pattern in the .gitignore) would be recommended VS Code extensions for working on the Shields code base (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/extension-gallery#_workspace-recommended-extensions) For example:

• prettier - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode
• editorconfig - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=EditorConfig.EditorConfig
• eslint - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dbaeumer.vscode-eslint
• etc.

That way if a user decides to use VS Code to work on the Shields code then they can see/install/enable those project recommended extensions easily

Maybe also add https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=tombonnike.vscode-status-bar-format-toggle too?

Description:
A VS Code extension that allows you to toggle the formatter (Prettier, Beautify, …) ON and OFF with a simple click.

Thanks so much for putting this together!

I'd propose the below list of extensions for consideration, imagine others will have some thoughts as well. I think I'd advise against the format toggle extension. The Shields codebase uses prettier extensively, and PRs/changes that don't conform to that standard will fail/be rejected. As such I think for the Shields codebase in particular we'd want to recommend prettier and not recommend something to disable prettier since these are workspace/project specific recommendations.

• prettier - esbenp.prettier-vscode
• editorconfig - EditorConfig.EditorConfig
• eslint - dbaeumer.vscode-eslint
• npm intellisense - christian-kohler.npm-intellisense
• path intellisense - christian-kohler.path-intellisense
• mocha test explorer - hbenl.vscode-mocha-test-adapter
• test explorer (pre-req of mocha test explorer) - hbenl.vscode-test-explorer

Maybe gitlens or some of the snippet extensions, or ones for React, html/css, etc.

Approving this as-is with the current 3 recommended extensions (prettier, editorconfig, and eslint). We can add other extensions at a later date if and when we decide we want them.

Thanks @Prouser123!
