Personally, I use the following extensions for vscode: Salesforce Extensions for VS Code - A package of Salesforce made extensions for editing code. Provides syntax highlighting & will recognize salesforce files based on their extension. Pretty much a must have for working with sfdx. Apex PMD - provides a tool to analyze code based on a ruleset. Comes with its own ruleset based on java best practices. Useful tool for new developers or old developers working with a codebase which could use a tuneup. It can be modified further to fit your needs. I asked about supporting an official formatter & was told that it was supported, via a version of prettier. Installation To install the Prettier Apex plugin: Navigate to the top-level of your project Check if your project contains the package.json file. If not, run: npm init and accept all the default options. m install --save-dev --save-exact prettier prettier-plugin-apex. You must create a configuration file .prettier in the root of your project. If you’d like to know more about formatting options of Prettier, read other config options.
