If you'd care to list some of your most used - or most useful tools - I'd love to read it. I suspect that I don't even know about most tools available to web devs.
For what it's worth, I stick to server-side for most of my work. But occasionally I have to fix something on the front end - whether it be a UI issue in CSS/HTML or a real problem in Javascript. So a quick mention of those front-end tools available and what they do would be great. Thank you!
Not him but I use typescript with webpack. Webpack has webpack serve, which runs a simple HTTP server that shows an index.html for testing your script. It adds some file watchers on your source so if you make any changes it automatically compiles. Webpack will build the .map files so you can run breakpoints in your browser on the original source, but if you develop with vscode, you can create a launch profile which allows you to attach your vscode debugger to the browser and put your breakpoints in VSCode instead of the browser (which I prefer the UI for). This works with react as well
Thank you. I have been learning React lately (as a backend developer, I love it) and this will be helpful. I've considered using webpack or one of the competitors - there are so many that I've simply just avoided them until now.
