Code snippets are an essential tool I use daily that vastly speeds up my development process. When I watched a tutorial from Brad Traversy entitled Code Faster With Custom VS Code Snippets, I instantly started customizing my snippets instead of depe...

Thanks Mike! That’s great to hear!

I didn't know this till now. All I ever used was ! for the HTML boilerplate code. Thanks for sharing this Alyssa Holland.

I’m more than happy to share! I hope this new information proves to be helpful for you!

Nice article Alyssa! 🤟

Thanks Chris Bongers😃

How do you do, to remember all those codes snippets? Does it take time to make it a habit?

For me, I prefer to use VIM, which removes the needs to remember snippets.

I don't know that's my feeling. What's your opinion?

It has just become second nature to me. I try to structure the snippet abbreviations in a way that is easy for me to remember. For example, “ush” stands for “Use State Hook” and “arrow” represents an arrow function. Idk it’s just how my brain works 🙃 The great part about snippets is that you can customize them how you like so if an abbreviation I have doesn’t make sense to you, it’s very simple to change.

I’ve been wanting to get better at Vim but I don’t have the time to dedicate to it right now. I used Vim a lot in college. It’s very cool so definitely stick with that if that’s what you like.

Once again a such a useful article! Thanks for sharing this :-) I thought Emmet had all the shortcuts covered. Anyways, I ain't complaining. I have bookmarked this and will slowly build it into my muscle memory :-)

Thanks for the kind words! I hope they prove to be useful and save you time down the road. I promise the snippets become easy to remember once you start using them over and over again. 🙂

Yep customising the code snippets in VScode sounds cool and hacky. The only one that I use at the moment is the Emmet plugin. I feel remembering the different snippets become problematic when you need to switch between different languages because you are working on some other projects.

I always said that, but I ensure you that learning Vim will be your best bet.
