go-snip

Lightweight Neosnippet parser and processor. Just an experiment how to get snippets in vim w/o dealing with many various plugins.

The current implementation reads all the *.snip files in ~/.vim dir recursively each time the command is invoked.

Install

go get github.com/nchern/go-snip/...

Usage

Command line

$ go-snip -g=go -cmd=show fori 'foo()' index MAX 
for index := 0; index < MAX; index++ {
foo()
}

Plug it into vim

Let's say we want to have snippets for golang in vim. Install the command and then just add the following lines into your .vimrc:

"" Map GoSnip command to call the util
command! -range -nargs=* -complete=custom,ListSnippets GoSnip :<line1>,<line2>!go-snip -g=go -cmd=show <args>
"" Enable autocomplete for GoSnip command
:fun ListSnippets(A,L,P)
:    return system("go-snip -g=go -cmd=ls")
:endfun

Then in the command mode you can run a command like this: :GoSnip fori 'foo()' index MAX. It will insert the for i .. snippet at the cursor position. .

TODO

• read snippets from cache file at least for name listing
• configurable snippets search root
• multi search roots
