snippets-cli

You can use the latest VSCode project-level-snippets

中文文档

In the project, some repeated code snippets are often initialized (for example: Controller/Model/Component/...), we may create new files, copy, paste, and modify names.

The thing to do with Snippets-cli is to configure this part of the repeated initialization work and generate it with commands. It will help improve efficiency, reduce the repeated work.

Quick start

Installation

$ npm i snippets-cli -D

Configuration

1. Create a new .snippetrc file, for example

{
  "snippets": {
    "controller": {
      // prompt message
      "name": "Create a new controller",
      // The relative path where the template is located
      "template": "./snippets/controller.js.snippet",
      // target generation path
      "target": "./controller"
    },
    "model": {
      "name": "新建模型",
      "template": "./snippets/model.js.snippet",
      "target": "./model"
    },
    "component": {
      "name": "新建组件",
      "template": "./snippets/component.js.snippet",
      "target": "./component"
    },
    ...
  }
}

the following properties:

• name: prompt message
• template: Note: The file name format is {custom name}.{filename suffix}.snippet
• target: target generation directory

2. In the .snippet template file, write your template code, and replace the file name variable with {{}}

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

export default class {{ }} extends Component {
  static propTypes = {

  }
  render() {
    return (
      <div>

      </div>
    );
  }
}

3. Configure scripts: { 'tpl': 'snippets' } in package.json`

Usage

After configuration, execute npm run tpl in the project root directory, select the corresponding template, and enter the file name to generate the template.

TODO

• add test cases
• plugin to extend the fragment (eg React / Vue / Koa / Express / Eggjs snippets, or use others' great code snippets)
• not only in FE, it can be used in any programming language

Changelog

snippets-cli is still just a prototype, hope the community will build together.
