🎨 Customization & Adding More Snippets

You can easily add more code snippets and customize existing ones to fit your workflow! All snippets are stored in snippets/backend-snippets.json in JSON format.

How to Add Custom Snippets:

1. Open the snippets file:

   • Navigate to snippets/backend-snippets.json in your project
   • Or find it in your VS Code extension folder

2. Add a new snippet entry:

   "Your Custom Snippet Name (shortcut)": {
     "prefix": "your-shortcut",
     "body": [
       "export const yourFunction = async (req, res, next) => {",
       "  // Your code here",
       "  return res?.status(200).json({ success: true });",
       "};"
     ],
     "description": "Description of what this snippet does"
   }

3. Customize existing snippets:

   • Edit any snippet in backend-snippets.json
   • Change the prefix to modify the shortcut
   • Modify the body array to change the generated code
   • Use ${1:placeholder} for tab stops (user can fill these in)

4. Reload your editor to apply changes

Example: Adding a Custom Middleware

"Custom Validation Middleware (ndval)": {
  "prefix": "ndval",
  "body": [
    "export const validateData = async (req, res, next) => {",
    "  const { ${1:field} } = req?.body ?? {};",
    "  if (!${1:field}) {",
    "    return res?.status(400).json({",
    "      success: false,",
    "      message: '${1:field} is required'",
    "    });",
    "  }",
    "  next();",
    "};"
  ],
  "description": "Custom validation middleware"
}

💡 Tip: Follow the existing snippet patterns in backend-snippets.json for consistency. You can modify field names, add validation logic, change response formats, or create entirely new controller patterns!
