A collection of snippets for VS Code to implement common patterns for snippets. Started with just the ansible.builtin namespace, but extending to other namespaces. Screenshots below
- Clone the repository.
- In VS Code, go to Terminal -> Run Task, and execute "Install Snippets Globally".
Note: For updates, just do a Git Pull, and re-run the Install Snippets Globally task. This is tested in Linux Mint and Windows 10, but if you have non-standard file locations, you're on your own. Note: This requires the Red Hat Ansible Extension for VS Code (redhat.ansible), and that the Language Mode be set to "ansible". You can set the language mode on a new file by pressing CTRL-K,M and typing "ansible", or going to the bottom right of the screen and switching from "Plain Text" to "Ansible".
This is a work in progress. Pull requests for common patterns are welcome. Items that I (IronTooch) eventually intend to implement myself are listed in To be Snippetized. Others either I don't use frequently enough to make worth my while, or don't actually know a common pattern, so that's where a pull request is definitely most welcome.
