Save some time with code snippets

[kadensharpin]

snippet extensions are nice as well.

i like to disable them globally then enable them per workspace. vscode went from 10 GB -> 3 GB of memory

Thank you. Vscode is very helpful in so much ways

Here's a literal pro tip:
Use "Easy Snippet"

I know VSCode let's you add usersnippets — but you don't create them cause it bothers your workflow. Easy Snippet; you select existing code

→ Create Snippet from selection (automatically detects langauge)
→ Looks like a regular code block (no JSON involved)
→ Add VSCode snippet syntax e.g. `public class ${1:ClassName} { ${0:}` etc.

Thank me later.

Lol, I did this so I wouldn’t have to write console.log, I set it so I just type clog and it adds it and puts the cursor in the (), and if I want to write a message and not pass in a variable I set clogm to generate console.log(“”) and put the cursor between the quotes.

One of my best choices every.

I also noticed if you highlight something then just start typing and then select the snippet it will be put in the code that you just overwrote but inside the snippet

I wish there was a better way to add and edit snippets in vscode this is barely useable even for short snippets let alone longer boilerplate code. I miss live templates from phpstorm it has a full editor you can edit the body with smart features really useful. Love vscode though this is one of few features I really miss from jetbrains.

Where was this last week when I needed it? lol

Eventually VSC will support custom code snippets as macros with an associated build step, and we’ll have gone full circle on meta programming

I usually just use global snippets and just specify the scope

That's nice and all, but you can't include a snippet into your snippet, yet. That would be really helpful.
