Snippet Builder
A snippet has the following format:
"{name}": {
"prefix": "",
"body": "",
"description": ""
},Wherename- helps you identify quickly what the snippet isprefix- what you type to trigger the snippetbody- the actual snippetdescription- describes the snippet (you will likely never see this)
Code snippets are templates that make it easier to enter repeating code patterns, such as loops or conditional-statements.
In Visual Studio Code, snippets appear in IntelliSense (
⌃Space) mixed with other suggestions, as well as in a dedicated snippet picker (Insert Snippet in the Command Palette). There is also support for tab-completion: Enable it with "editor.tabCompletion": "on", type a snippet prefix (trigger text), and press Tab to insert a snippet.
