# Snippetizer
A Visual Studio Code extension that streamlines code snippet creation by allowing developers to generate reusable snippets directly from selected code without manual JSON editing or file navigation.
## Overview
Traditional snippet creation in VS Code involves navigating to snippet files, manually writing JSON configurations, and managing complex file structures. Snippetizer eliminates this workflow complexity by providing a direct path from code selection to snippet creation.
## Solution
Snippetizer addresses these challenges through a streamlined workflow:
1. Select code in the active editor
2. Invoke the snippet creation command
3. Provide snippet metadata through guided prompts
4. Automatic snippet file management and JSON generation
## Features
- **Direct Integration**: Create snippets without leaving the current editor context
- **Automated File Management**: Handles VS Code snippet directory structure across platforms
- **Cross-Platform Compatibility**: Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux environments
- **Input Validation**: Ensures snippet names and prefixes follow VS Code conventions
- **Flexible Organization**: Supports both existing snippet files and new file creation
- **Context Menu Integration**: Available through right-click menu when text is selected
## Demonstration
### Adding Snippets
### Viewing Snippets
Using the "View Snippets" command to browse available snippets
## Usage
### Command Palette Access
1. Select the target code in the editor
2. Open Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P` on Windows/Linux, `⌘+Shift+P` on macOS)
3. Execute "Snippetizer: Create Snippet"
4. Complete the prompted fields for snippet configuration
### Context Menu Access
1. Select code in the active editor
2. Access the context menu via right-click
3. Select "Snippetizer: Create Snippet"
4. Provide required snippet metadata
### Keyboard Shortcut Configuration
Configure a custom keybinding in `keybindings.json`:
```json
{
"key": "ctrl+shift+s",
"command": "snippetizer.createSnippet",
"when": "editorHasSelection",
"key": "ctrl+shift+v",
"command": "snippetizer.veiwSnippets"
}
```
## Configuration Guidelines
- **Snippet Names**: Use descriptive, meaningful identifiers
- **Prefixes**: Choose unique, memorable trigger sequences
- **Descriptions**: Optional field for snippet documentation
- **File Organization**: Organize snippets by language or functional domain
- **Naming Conventions**: Follow consistent patterns for maintainability
