Easy Snippets Maker

This extension allows you to create snippets easily. You can create a new snippet or extend an existing snippet.

The extension will create a folder named .vscode in the workspace folder. This folder will contain all the snippets you created/extended.

The create/extend snippet command will be available in the command palette or the context menu when you right-click on the editor after you select the code you want to create/extend the snippet.

You can find more information about the vscode custom snippets here.
