Is it possible to run a function during expansion of snippet?
javascript.json - vscode snippet file:
function add() {
return 2+2;
}
"Print to console": {
"prefix": "log",
"body": [
"console.log("Addition", add());"
],
"description": "Log output to console"
}
index.js - project file:
// I wrote "log" and intellisense currently provides
console.log("Addition", add());
// But I need
console.log("Addition", 4);
The obvious reason might be snippet is a json file, it's not a javascript file so it can't run code, just show syntax as it with cursor positions $1, $2 etc.
Or is it possible through a vscode plugin?
Using Hypersnips vscode extension as suggested by rioV8, I've a working hsnips which might help you.
all.hsnips OR javascript.hsnips:
global
function add() {
return 2+2;
}
endglobal
snippet log "Log output to console"
``
rv = `console.log("Addition", ${add()})`
``
endsnippet
