Move snippets to separate repo?

[cesarandreu]

Not a fan of having snippets automatically included :(. Could we move em to a separate repo?

I have my own set of personal JS snippets, and since you can't disable package-specific snippets my only choice would be to fork 6to5-sublime and keep it up-to-date manually everywhere I have a sublime text installation.

@sebmck Thoughts? Makes sense to me. I actually want to get rid of the snippets all together. The only snippet I use is for for-loops lol - I don't know if people actually use them. A wiki section (or a README-snippets.md on "Roll your own snippets" with samples could a good compromise.

I'm going to vote in favour of moving snippets out.

I have preference on something like snippets.md, which explains how to copy-paste snippets, and also where folks can PR against to add snippets for various 6to5 features (not just JSX). Something like what gulp does.

Oh yeah, that is what Gulp does. Although it sounds like a cop out, showing users how to get down-and-dirty with snippets means that they can tweak them to their own style. I'd like another 👍 from another collaborator 😄

@zertosh I don't use snippets at all so I don't really have an opinion. Happy to create a new repo if necessary 😜

Noooo I was just getting used to the snippets! :) Creating them manually with the given instructions is a pain, so I placed them in a repo again.

[zertosh]

@0x80 What I really wanted to do was have Sublime ignore the snippets, but AFIK there is no way for a package to selectively self-ignore a directory. But, there are two alternatives: I could ZIP up the snippets, or change their extension to something like whatever.sublime-snippet.disabled. Both would require some work on part of the user - but less so than copy/pasting. Do you think any of those options works for you?

IMHO is a good idea to keep them in a separate repo, maybe available on package control :-)

A zip would work for me, but maybe a repository makes sense. I would choose a zip over file renaming.

What would a dedicated babel snippets package look like? Just React stuff seems a little odd.

[zertosh]

@sebmck can I haz a babel-snippets (or babel-sublime-snippets) repo?

[sebmck]

Tah dah https://github.com/babel/babel-sublime-snippets

[zertosh]

@sebmck thanks!

FWIW, sublime-react already provides the original snippets in a separate repo and works in combination with Babel.
