6. Snippet

January 7, 2022

Decision

We draft an entire collection of smart snippets leveraging semantic placeholders with full tab-support, leveraging VS Code built-in facility.

${1:identifier} = container "${2:name}" 
                            "${3:description}" 
                            "${4:technology}" 
                            "${5:tags}" 
                            {\n\t${0}\n}

Context

Ready to use snippets ease newcomers integration and speed up veteran contribution.
Entry point is vscode.languages.registerCompletionItemProvider.
