add default values for snippet just like on intellij

[tbm98]

In IntelliJ I can choose the default value for my snippet. but on vscode I'm not sure if it's doable.

I know some value provided by vscode. but I want to use the custom value from dart/flutter plugin like dartClassName

I'm not very familiar with this behaviour in IntelliJ - can you confirm exactly what the flow is? I can see $ClassName$ used in the template, but it's not clear to me when you invoke that snippet what dartClassName() would be replaced with? Where does the class name come from?

$ClassName$ it's just the name I give it. the magic is dartClassName() it is a function provided by dart/flutter plugin, it returns the current dart class name which contains this snippet.

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I think to support this with user-create snippets, it would require some additional support from VS Code to allow substituting these variables. Right now when you insert a snippet, VS Code handles everything so there is no opportunity for us to provide the values that would be inserted.

I've filed an issue with VS Code with a possible way this could be implemented, which you can 👍 or subscribe to here:

Thank you!

My issue was a dupe, so the one to actually follow/ 👍 is microsoft/vscode#10561 (comment) :-)
