Snippets

This extension provides a large list of generic snippets that can be used in any project, regardless of the language used.

How does it work?

Each snippet is implemented separately in each language. This means that if you are working in a TypeScript file, you will get TypeScript-specific snippets. If you are working in a Rust file, you will get Rust-specific snippets. This allows you to use the same snippet prefix in different languages and get the correct snippet for the language you are working in.

Check out the official docs for more information.

Snippets

Each snippet has multiple aliases but you can see them all by typing the "fools" prefix. Aliases are written in plain english and are easy to remember. For example, the foolsPrint snippet can be accessed by typing "foolsPrint", "print", "log", "out", and "write".
