# VS for Mac Code Snippets

Is a collection of useful code snippets (shortcuts) to reduce the amount of boilerplate code typing.

## What is a code snippet?

> Code snippets are ready-made snippets of code you can quickly insert into your code.

There are a couple of code snippets that are shipped with Visual Studio:

```

ctor - Creates a constructor for the containing class.	

prop - Creates an auto-implemented property declaration.

forr - Creates a for loop that decrements the loop variable after each iteration.

```

More information and the full list of built-in code snippets can be found in the [official docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/mac/snippets).

## How to add a code snippet

> Visual Studio > Preferences > Text Editor > Code Snippets

![Demo](https://github.com/yuv4ik/vsmac_code_snippets/raw/master/screenshots/vs_mac_add_code_snippet.png)

Alternatively you can copy all `*.xml` files from `/snippets/$lang$` to `~/Library/VisualStudio⁩/{version}/Snippets`.

## How to use a code snippet?

Simply type the `shortcut` for example `ctor` and double press the `Tab` key.

## The snippets

### C#

| Shortcut        | Description

| ------------- |:-------------:

| dw            | Template for `Debug.WriteLine($)`

| classnpc      | Template for a class implementing `INotifyPropertyChanged`.

| measure       | Template for measuring execution time using Stopwatch

| propb         | Template for a `BindableProperty`

| propnpc         | Template for a Property with `INotifyPropertyChanged`

*Please note that you can set your own shortcut and customize the snippet according to your needs.*
