Write your snippets with ultisnips and convert to json

Publish Date: Sep 8 '21
1 2

Introduction

Almost everyone who uses vim became curious about neovim, and among all of these geek guys the great majority has used ultisnips at least for a while. This little article aims to help you to convert ultisnips to vscode format, not because vscode but because the json format is becomming very common. I have found a site that teaches us how perform this task:

npm i -g convert-snippets
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Usage

convert-snippets source_file target_file
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Automatically detects source_file format and generates target_file

      I have used it just once, to convert some snippets to json format as the way I have described in the article.
