Manage VS Code snippets from the command line
npm install @ncko/snippetFirst install the package globally
``
> npm install -g @ncko/snippet
Then run the config command.
`
> snippet config
Now you're ready to use it!
After installing and running the config command. Create a new snippet stub:
`
> snippet stub MySnippet mysnip
A new file appears in your current directory called ./snippet.snippet:
`
Title: MySnippet
Prefix: mysnip
-------------------------------------------
snippet body here
-------------------------------------------
Edit the body of this file like so:
`
Title: MySnippet
Prefix: mysnip
-------------------------------------------
console.log("My first snippet!");
console.log("I can set tabstops with defaults like this:", ${1:thing});
-------------------------------------------
Now that your stub is complete, you can write the snippet to VS Code's snippets directory.
`
> snippet write snippet.snippet javascript
Now, open a javascript file in VS Code, type mysnip and hit tab.
