What is a VS Code Snippet?

VS Code snippets are reusable templates that expand when you type a trigger prefix. They support ${1:placeholder} tab stops so you jump between editable positions. This generator builds valid JSON for any language with a live preview — just copy and paste into your language snippet file.

How to use

1Enter a name, prefix trigger, and description for your snippet.
2Write your snippet body in the Editor tab using ${1:label} tab stops.
3Use the Placeholders tab to manage tab stops and insert them.
4Copy the generated JSON and paste into your VS Code snippet file.
