Dynamic Snippets Manager for VS Code

A VS Code extension to manage custom, language-specific snippets with support for placeholders.

Features

• Language-Specific Snippets: Attach snippets to a specific language (e.g., javascript, python, markdown).
• Placeholder Support: Use ${1:label}, ${2}, etc., to define tab stops and default values.
• Filtering: Only shows snippets relevant to the current file's language.
• Uniqueness: Ensures only one snippet with the same name exists per language.
• CRUD Operations: Easily add, edit, or delete snippets through the command palette.

How to Use

1. Add a Snippet:

   • Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P).
   • Run Snippets: Add New Snippet.
   • Provide a Name, Language ID, and Content (e.g., console.log(${1:item});).

2. Use a Snippet:

   • Open a file of the target language.
   • Start typing the snippet name.
   • Select it from the completion list.
   • Press Tab to jump between placeholders.

3. Edit/Delete Snippets:

   • Use Snippets: Edit Snippet or Snippets: Delete Snippet from the Command Palette.
