[Tools] VS Code Tips

Inside one file, you can freely mark the number 1-9:

shift + cmd + [1-9]

And jump to Number of bookmark:

cmd + [1-9]

It helps to generate type safe interface based the json file you provided.

For example you can create a json file called pokemon.json:

{
    "id": 1,
    "name": "Bulbasaur",
    "img": "http://www.serebii.net/pokemongo/pokemon/001.png",
    "type": [ "Grass", "Poison" ],
    "weaknesses": [ "Fire", "Ice", "Flying", "Psychic" ]
}

Then in the file you want to generate the code, open vs cammand panel, enter "Paste Json...", enter "Pokemon"...

It will genearte type safe code and lots of utitlties code.
