Friendly Snippets

Snippets collection for a set of different programming languages.

The only goal is to have one community driven repository for all kinds of snippets in all programming languages, this way you can have it all in one place.

Install

Use your plugin manager of choice, e.g.

With Lazy.nvim

{ "rafamadriz/friendly-snippets" }

Warning

: If you're using LuaSnip make sure to use require("luasnip.loaders.from_vscode").load() to load snippets. If you want to use lazy_load(), friendly-snippets will need to be added as a dependencie for LuaSnip like so:

{
  "L3MON4D3/LuaSnip",
  dependencies = { "rafamadriz/friendly-snippets" },
}

For more info see #262 and folke/lazy.nvim#266

With Packer

use "rafamadriz/friendly-snippets"

With vim-plug

Plug "rafamadriz/friendly-snippets"

With coc.nvim

:CocInstall https://github.com/rafamadriz/friendly-snippets@main

Usage

This collection of snippets should work with any snippet engine that supports loading vscode snippets. Like for example:

• vim-vsnip
• LuaSnip
• coc-snippets

Add snippets from a framework to a filetype.

There's extra snippets included in this repo but they are not added by default, since it would be irrelevant for people not using those frameworks. See snippets/frameworks

For example: if you want to add rails snippets to ruby.

With LuaSnip:

require'luasnip'.filetype_extend("ruby", {"rails"})

With vim-vsnip:

let g:vsnip_filetypes.ruby = ['rails']

Excluding snippets

Note

: This is handled by your snippet engine and has nothing to do with this snippets collection

With LuaSnip, see help luasnip-loaders

-- will exclude all javascript snippets
require("luasnip.loaders.from_vscode").load {
    exclude = { "javascript" },
}
