# Yasnippet official snippet collections
|
|
|
|
[](https://gitter.im/AndreaCrotti/yasnippet-snippets?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
|
|
This repository contains the official snippets for [yasnippet](http://github.com/capitaomorte/yasnippet), as you can see from the git submodules link.
|
|
|
|
# How to install
|
|
|
|
There are two options, if you have checked out *yasnippet* already, the only thing you need to do is to run `git submodule update --init`
|
|
and it will checkout automatically this repository, at the last version it was synchronized too.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise if you want the latest and greatest snippets collection proceed as follows:
|
|
|
|
1. clone this repository
|
|
2. add to your .emacs the following
|
|
- `(add-to-list 'yas-snippet-dirs "$$DIRECTORY_WHERE_YOU_CLONED")`
|
|
- and in case you want to enable yasnippet globally: `(yas-global-mode t)`
|
|
|
|
3. `M-x yas-reload-all` to activate them
|
|
|

# Contributing
|
|
|
|
This repository has now become the default snippets repository (as a submodule) in yasnippet.
|
|
So if you have any useful snippets for any language or framework please feel free to contribute.
|
|
|
|
To study the current snippets I suggest to use `M-x yas-describe-tables`
|
|
which will gave a table representation of all the snippets available in the current mode.
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Guidelines
|
|
|
|
Snippets need to be generic enough to be useful for everyone, and not contain anything specific to your own system.
|
|
|
|
# Various notes
|
|
|
|
## HTML snippets
|
|
|
|
Until September 1st 2014 there were a lot of HTML snippets in the repository, which were sometimes useful but I came to the conclusion that yasnippet was not the right fool for them, so they were removed in this pull request:
|
|
https://github.com/AndreaCrotti/yasnippet-snippets/pull/49
|
|
|
|
To everyone writing a lot of HTML I suggest using [emmet mode](https://github.com/smihica/emmet-mode) instead, which is a much more powerful mode for writing HTML tags.
