ultisnips-vscode's Introduction

About

I don't always use VSCode. But when I do, I use Ultisnips.

This script allows you to write all of your snippets in vims Ultisnips format, and convert the whole batch to json format for use in vscode.

Installation

Clone this repository
cd ultisnips-vscode
pip install .

Usage

Create a config file at ~/.vscode/ultisnips-vscode.json
Add the paths to your snippets folders.
On a mac this file might contain:

{
    "ultisnips-snippets":  "~/.vim/UltiSnips/",
    "vscode-snippets": "~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/snippets/"
}

On linux this file might contain:

{
    "ultisnips-snippets":  "~/.config/nvim/UltiSnips",
    "vscode-snippets": "~/.config/Code/User/snippets/"
}

Source your shell, or log out and log back in so the script is in your $PATH
Run the command ultisnips_to_vscode to synchronize your snippets. This will output something like:
