Re: VS Code snippets

[Harbs <ha...@gmail.com>]

I was exploring snippets as a way to create classes. I created a snippet which get most of the way there, but packages and classes need to be created separately. I was hoping to use something similar to TextMate’s bash execution, but that’s not supported: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10561 <https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/10561>

Having an extension create snippets on the fly using the file name and file path to automatically generate package and class name would be a nice way to go. That can be done using this: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/3210 <https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/3210> but it’s beyond my skill level in writing VS Code extensions.
