Emacs Rocks! Episode 06: Yeah! Snippets!

0:00 - 0:03

welcome back to emacs rocks
0:03 - 0:05

it's episode six
0:05 - 0:07

and today we're gonna look at yasnippets
0:07 - 0:11

it's pretty much a port from TextMate, except ...
0:11 - 0:15

*even more rocking!*
0:15 - 0:20

like TextMate snippets you can expand a mnemonic shortcut
0:20 - 0:22

you also get placeholders
0:28 - 0:31

and like TextMate you can mirror fields
0:31 - 0:33

and even transform them
0:33 - 0:35

check this out
0:35 - 0:37

it strips off the directory
0:37 - 0:41

and even camelCases the var for me
0:46 - 0:48

so, TextMate can do all this
0:48 - 0:50

it even looks a lot like TextMate,
0:50 - 0:53

you've got placeholders and stops
0:53 - 0:56

but check out this mirror field
0:56 - 1:00

I've embedded lisp directly into the snippet
1:00 - 1:03

it strips off the directory
1:03 - 1:05

it camel cases
1:05 - 1:09

here, TextMate uses *regular expressions*
1:09 - 1:12

with yasnippets, you get the power
1:12 - 1:17

and the functional fingerlickingly good lispness with your snippets
1:17 - 1:20

nice!
1:20 - 1:24

so let's see that again
1:26 - 1:30

hah, sweet
1:30 - 1:32

that was episode six
1:32 - 1:35

you can check out my snippets on the github repo
1:35 - 1:37

there's a link on my site
