I wonder if Visual Studio makes it possible to manage code snippets for easy insertion into files during an edit. Or if there is some add-on it does.
Example:
I have this piece of code I always use:
<script src="jquery.js" ></script>
The idea would be to write this snippet of code and insert it easily whenever necessary with few clicks.
Yes, it is possible!
Visual Studio allows you to create custom code snippets. For this it is necessary to create an XML file using the pre-defined structure of Visual Studio.
Here's a quick step-by-step look at how to create a custom code snippet .
Open the Tools menu and enter Code Snippet Manager or go directly to the manager Shortcut Ctrl B p>
Create an XML file with this structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CodeSnippets
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">
<CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">
<Header>
<Title></Title>
</Header>
<Snippet>
<Code Language="">
<![CDATA[]]>
</Code>
</Snippet>
</CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>
In attribute Language of tag Code put language
Save the file with the extension CDATA
Open the manager (from step 1) and click Import
Yes, it is possible. This is called Code Snippet and has extensive documentation .
If this is not enough there are plugins in VS marketplace .
