Snippets en Atom

This is a tip for people who need to have snippets of code at their fingertips to program faster. Now that I’m revisiting all my Ansible infrastructure as code (IaC), I realize the mess I had lying around, so I discovered Snippets!

Atom Snippets allow you to fill in and create code by just typing a few letters that you define and pressing TAB. Right now, I’m putting this comment in all my Jinja2 templates:

1
2
3
4
################################################
# {{ ansible_managed }}
# LAST MODIFIED ON: {{ ansible_date_time.date }}
################################################

So every time I see a file managed by Ansible, I’ll/we’ll know it.

Snippets are configured under File > Snippets. Here are the ones I have for Jinja2:

  'If':
    'prefix': 'if'
    'body': '{% if ${1:expr} %}\n\t$2\n{% endif %}'
  'Macro':
    'prefix': 'macro'
    'body': '{% macro ${1:name}(${2:args}) %}\n\t$3\n{% endmacro %}'

Quick and efficient, just the way I like it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
