✂️ vscode-javascript-snippets

Visual Studio Code snippets for JavaScript, TypeScript, and React

Code snippets are templates that make it easier to autocomplete repeating code patterns. They're like shortcuts for writing code.

Setup

Just install this package from the Extension Marketplace, then add "editor.snippetSuggestions": "top" to your user settings to see these snippets on top in the suggestion popover. Make sure you've also set "editor.tabCompletion": "on" for tab completion.

Snippets

These snippets are optimized to be short and easy to remember. They follow JavaScript Standard Style. They also support tab autocompletion to accelerate your workflow!

Below is a list of all available snippets and the shortcuts for each one. The ⇥ means the tab key.
