🎯 Smart Placeholders

Snippets use numbered placeholders ($1, $2, etc.) that you can tab through:

// Typing 'func' + Tab
function functionName(params)
{
    // Tab to function name, type it, Tab to params, type them, Tab to body
}

The $0 placeholder indicates the final cursor position.

🛠️ Customization

You can modify snippets by editing the snippets/php.json file. Each snippet follows this structure:

{
  "Snippet Name": {
    "prefix": "trigger-text",
    "body": [
      "line1",
      "line2"
    ]
  }
}

💡 Examples

Creating a Class

Type classp + Tab:

class ClassName
{
    private type $property;

    public function __construct(type $property)
    {
        $this->property = $property;
    }

    // cursor ends here
}

Database Query

Type pdop + Tab:

$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = :id');
$stmt->execute(['id' => $id]);
$result = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

Try-Catch Block

Type try + Tab:

try {
    // code
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // handle exception
}
