Question 196 - Certified User Experience Designer discussion

The best option to simplify working with SLDS in Lightning Components is to install SLDS Validator extension for VS Code.This extension (salesforcedx-vscode-slds) scans the markup of the components, validates it against the SLDS documentation, and provides suggestions on how to improve the code1.It also offers syntax highlighting, code completion, and context awareness for SLDS tokens and utility classes1.By using this extension, the development team can avoid CSS conflicts, follow SLDS best practices, and create consistent and accessible components2.

Installing SLDS creator from AppExchange is not a valid option, as there is no such app available on the AppExchange.The AppExchange is a marketplace for Salesforce apps, components, and consulting services, not for VS Code extensions3.

Installing Lightning Design System Plugin for Sketch is also not a valid option, as it is not related to VS Code or Lightning Components.Sketch is a design tool that allows users to create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes4. The Lightning Design System Plugin for Sketch is a plugin that provides SLDS components, icons, and styles for Sketch users. It can help designers to create consistent and compatible designs, but it cannot help developers to work with SLDS in VS Code.
