Type the snippet prefix (abbreviation) by which you would like the snippet to appear as suggestion when you type it (like posa in the above example).Give a name to the snippet (like "Position Absolute" in the example above).Open the command palette ( ⇧ + ⌘ + P for mac, ctrl + ⇧ + P for PC).Select some code that you would like to add as a custom snippet and use it later.Type and install the “ Easy Snippet Maker” extension from within VS Code.I have found out that to add multi-line snippets can be a pain in the neck sometimes so I am using this simple extension that divides the lines of the code and adds it to the appropriate JSON file. " description" : an optional description of what the snippet does ( if not present, the snippet name will be shown in the suggestions)." prefix" : the abbreviation you type in order to receive the snippet as a suggestion."Position Absolute": the snippet name that you can give it any name you want."description": "Add a position CSS property to absolute" To add a new snippet with your own abbreviation just use the following syntax:.You should get an empty JSON file with comments briefly explaining the syntax.Choose the snippets language of your choice i.e.Type/select “Preferences: Configure User Snippets”.Open the command palette in VS Code: ⇧ + ⌘ + P for mac, ctrl + ⇧ + P for PC.Let’s get cracking! The snippets JSON file # Because we do code wizardry isn’t that right? You should then see an option “ Emmet: Extensions Path” where you should type the directory path that the snippets.json file is inside (ex: /Users/username/dev/).Įmmet has a big HTML/CSS cheatsheet of snippets that you could use right now, however in this article I will be showing you a way to add custom multi-line snippets with a few commands, while each of the snippets for a specific language are stored in a different file. Just type/choose “ Preferences: Open Settings (UI)” and then in the search bar type “ snippets”. In order to add your own snippets using Emmet you can create a snippets.json file that you later point to its directory in VS Code settings. However you may want to add support for languages that Emmet has not enabled by default. VS Code has built-in support for Emmet and does not require any external extension. Well, in this article I will be showing you one way of how to configure VS Code and summon your custom snippets by the press of 3 buttons so you can have 5x productivity and happiness.
While writing code you will soon notice that you write the same code over and over again, either some short one-line piece of code or a longer(!) 5-line snippet of code that always looks the same.
