Important

This extension is optimized for developers that use Angular and are no longer using AngularJS (Angular 1). If you type in AngularJS keywords, it will suggest an Angular solutions. This is by design and meant to help developers learn how AngularJS concepts and techniques map to Angular.

See example below for ng-repeat and ng-click:

ngRepeatSnippet

Usage

All Angular snippets starts with "ng-". Multiple snippets come in multiple variations. For instance when you want to create a new component you can choose between having the template and css inline or not:

ng-component
ng-component-inline

ng-component

ngComponentSnippet

ng-for

ng-for currently has even more variations, so make sure you pick the one you want before you press enter:

ng-for
ng-for-index
ng-for-li
ng-for-trackBy

ngForSnippet

Angular Material

All Material snippets starts with "m-" and there are now over 50 Material snippets in this package.

Pro Tip

You don't need to type any dashes: "ngrxr" -> "ng-rx-reducer" snippet
