LuaSnip VS friendly-snippets

If you're using Neovim, check out LuaSnip: https://github.com/L3MON4D3/LuaSnip

I’ve been using LuaSnip and never put much thought into it. And this was mainly because of because it seemed like the default and had good LSP integration. The one downside is that creating custom snippets is not that ergonomic, but I don’t mind it if it’s the price to pay for speed.

You can use LuaSnip and load snippets from VSCode. The documentation is pretty complete, but here is my config in case you want another reference.

I am trying to add snippets for python, i have LuaSnip and friendly-snippets installed, but for some reason it does not load the snippets. This is how i load the plugins:

There was a similar issue in LuaSnip repo. The culprit was a keymap in the config. Do you happen to have a similar keymap somewhere in your config?

I have decided to extract my Haskell snippets for LuaSnip into a plugin: haskell-snippets.nvim.

Not exactly what you're talking about but you could look into LuaSnip?

There are a few more resources for new users as well on the official repo, and you can find the implementation in Examples/snippets.lua

You mean snippets? If yes, you can try Luasnip and friendly-snippets with nvim-cmp and here's the setup guide. Hope it helps

I had the same issue recently. It was the case when I inserted a snippet but didn't fill out all the placeholders right away. This helped me. This is an autocommand that unlinks the unfinished snippet when you change the mode.

Those definitely seem to be coming from friendly-snippets, so it seems like it's not being disabled. You can verify this with the :Lazy command to bring up the lazy.nvim menu then checking log or debug to see what is loaded, when, and why.

Here you go :), tested with friendly-snippets lazy loaded (Non lazy-loaded is 500ms)

Snippets for code comments.

I just sent [this PR](https://github.com/rafamadriz/friendly-snippets/pull/301) that implements the [full TSdoc specification](https://typedoc.org/guides/overview/) in [friently-snippets](https://github.com/rafamadriz/friendly-snippets). In practice what you get is autocompletion in your typescript comments, which should be a nice of life improvement for most typescript developers.

For example Luasnip with (I guess) friendly-snippets has multi line snippets defined by default. And you can use luasnip with nvim-cmp (read the docs or I guess there’s a YouTube tutorial)

If you copied the config in the readme, then the snippet come from friendly-snippets.

I would recommend lsp-zero, the tsserver lsp provides code actions for auto import. There is auto import when confirming completion as well, I've seen it working with cmp, however I can't remember If that is out of the box behaviour. For snippets, I would go with LuaSnip - It's very versatile snippet engine and it integrates well with many snippet formats. There are specifically react es7 snippet definitions in the friendly-snippets repo which can be used by LuaSnip - https://github.com/rafamadriz/friendly-snippets/blob/main/snippets/javascript/react-es7.json
