By typing the snippet prefix (which is “ag-”) in a TypeScript or HTML file you can quickly add the associated code into your file. It is written in JSON format and each file can contain an unlimited number of snippets.I use VS Code a lot in my development projects and recently put together a set of Angular (v2 or higher) TypeScript and HTML snippets that can be used to enhance productivity when building Single Page Applications. The Syntax for code snippet is quite easy actually. But if you chose Global snippet, you'll be prompted to type in the name of the snippet file before it opens.įor this one, I'll be using a Global Snippet. If you selected a particular language, HTML for example, the file will automatically open.

Scroll to the language you want to write your snippet for and click on it (or select New Global Snippet File if you want to use your snippets in multiple languages). So from the drop-down, you can see New Global Snippet File and then a bunch of languages in alphabetical order. You can either create a global snippet that you can use across all languages or create a local snippet scoped to a particular language. This will give you a drop-down with different language selections to choose from.

You can check the docs on your code editor to find out if the feature is available and how to access it. Step 1: Check if your editor lets you create custom snippets

And with the help of another tool called Snippet Generator (which I will show you how to use shortly), it becomes even easier. How to Create Custom Code SnippetsĬreating your own custom snippet is quite easy. Well, wish no more for I'm about to show you how to easily create your own. You've likely often wished that you had a custom snippet of a particular piece of code you use all the time but didn't know how to create or find it. You can check out my personalized HTML and CSS templates here. It was a lifesaver, and every once in a while I add new custom snippets to my collection. Until I randomly stumbled on Brad Travesty's video on one of my daily evening wanderings on the streets of YouTube without actively searching for it. I didn't know it was called code snippets at that time, so I spent over 2 weeks trying to find a tool that could help me do this and I almost gave up. And that was when I learned about VsCode Code Snippets. But that also was getting stressful, and I wanted to just type in a few letters, press enter, and boom have my templates showing on my screen. That got me thinking about having my personalized HTML and CSS templates which would have all the base code I always used in my projects.Īt first, I just created the templates and saved them on my system so I could copy the code any time I started a new project.

Plus I was always forgetting to link my stylesheets to my HTML pages, making me spend an unreasonable amount of time trying to figure out why my pages were not being styled correctly. This involved me trying to remember how to link my documents to their packages and also use personalized CSS resets and variables. (PS: if you don't want to read the back story and just wanna dive right into the tutorial, then jump right into it.)Īs I started exploring more into coding, I learned about VSCode extensions that made coding faster – code snippets in particular – and I then went on a downloading spree.Īll was going fine and well until I started frequently using frameworks and libraries in my projects. (I doubt anyone knows how to write that by heart.) It was cool and I felt like a code ninja. When I first started learning how to code, the first code snippet I ever used was Ctrl + ! and enter to get an HTML5 document template. Prerequisitesįor this tutorial, I'll assume that you can write a decent amount of code in the language you want to create a code snippet for. In this tutorial, we're going to learn how to write our own custom snippets. Code Snippets are a feature on most text editors, code editors, and IDEs. Snippets help programmers reduce the time it takes to type in repetitive information while coding. A code Snippet is a programming term that refers to a small portion of re-usable source code, machine code, or text.
