Usage
Using Magento 2 Snippets is straightforward. Follow these steps to start using the snippets in your code:

- Create or open a PHP, XML, or PHTML file.
- Type the prefix of a snippet and press
Tab to trigger the code snippet.
For example, to pick up a product by ID in Magento 2, type m2.get_product_by_id and press Tab. The extension will automatically generate the code structure for you.
Trigger: m2.get_product_by_id
Output:

$productId = 1; // Replace with the desired product ID
$product = $objectManager->create('\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load($productId);
echo $product->getName();
