This repository contains the official collection of snippets for [yasnippet](http://github.com/capitaomorte/yasnippet).
You can see [here](http://andreacrotti.github.io/yasnippet-snippets/snippets.html) a big HTML page with all the available snippets grouped by mode.
# How to install
## From melpa
You can install this package from melpa, by first ensuring that you have the melpa source in your package-archives.
```lisp
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
```
Once that is done, then just refresh the packages and install it with.
* M-x package-refresh-contents
* M-x package-install yasnippet-snippets
Now all the snippets will load automatically, as soon as yasnippet loads.
## On Debian ≥10 and derivatives such as Ubuntu ≥ 18.10
`sudo apt install elpa-yasnippet-snippets`
# Contributing
If you have any useful snippets for any language or framework, then please feel free to contribute, by opening a PR or an issue if you have any suggestions.
To study the current snippets, I suggest that you use `M-x yas-describe-tables`,
which will show a table representation of all the snippets that are 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 sometimes were useful, but I came to the conclusion that yasnippet was not the right tool 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.
