bla_de (Blade/Laravel)

Laravel (Blade & Route) extension for VS code (Visual Studio Code)

The most important thing I have in mind is not adding extra string/characters to the trigger string. The snippets should pop up when you are typing the code, but not some custome trigger.

no: b:bla-bla

no: blade:bla-bla

yes: @bla-bla

The snippets suppose to be triggered while you are typing.

So, just start type the actual code (@section, Route::get, ...) the snippets show up. Easy, right?

Blade snippets

Probably you noticed a space after the @. This make the snippet work if the developer types just bla-bla witought the @. So, that means the snippet will show up if you just type: exten... secti... section sh...

Route snippets

The title of routes are too long to see it completely in the list of snippeted suggested when coding, so I had to add a short abbreviation of them! I know, that sucks but I couldn't find a better way that makes more sense :-(

Rt:Ctrl@actn
Rt:Rsrc

But the good thing is it still works if you type the start part of the route, just like the blade snippets.

Route::g...
Route::po...
Route::reso...
Route::apiRes...

Use with caution:

the trigger strings (prefixes) may change at any time until I found the best option!

Known Issues

The highlight/jump works for most of blocks in Blade (e.g: @if @endif) but it doesnt highlight/jump-to the middle directives (@else, @else-if, etc.). The reason is in VSCode it is not allowed to pare an block-open (e.g.: @if) to more than one block-close (e.g.: either @endif or @else).

In other word, in these (chained!) blocks, only the block-open and block-close can be highlighted and jump to.

• @if @else-if @else @endif
• @forelse(...) @empty @endforelse
• @env @elseenv @else @endenv

Snippets

Originaly the Blade snippets initialized with the "Laravel Blade Snippets" and then I am modifing them.

• The list of trigger-snippet code will be added soon
