🚀 Usage

  1. Open a Dart file (or a Flutter project) in VS Code.
  2. Type the prefix (for example, "fstateless" or "ftextfield") and press Tab (or Enter) to insert the snippet.
  3. Use Tab to navigate through the placeholders (for example, to change the widget's name, label, or callback).
  4. Press Esc to exit the snippet mode.
