Znippets

This extension contains code snippets for Ziglang for VSCode.

Snippets

Below is a list of all available snippets and the triggers of each one. Snippets are categorized into the following 📑:

• Standard Library
• Variables
• Pointers
• Types
• Loops

These snippets also contain a helpful description that can further provide you with more information to help you code better 😎

Some snippets have not been added since ZLS provides an ergonomic and always updated version of them 💪

NOTE: The ⇥ means the TAB key.
