+
+Code snippets and completion for the [AWS Amplify](https://aws.github.io/aws-amplify) API.
+
+
+## Installation
+
+Go to the Extension Marketplace in VS Code and search for AWS Amplify API. Click install on the extension with title "AWS Amplify API".
+
+## Usage
+
+In a JavaScript or JSX file*, start typing an AWS Amplify API command that has a corresponding snippet and choose the appropriate snippet by either clicking it or pressing "enter" or "tab" when the correct snippet is highlighted in the dropdown menu. You can scroll between snippets using the up and down arrow keys.
+
+The snippets options that pop up are based on the prefix that you type. For the complete set of prefix/snippet pairings for AWS Amplify, see the documentation:
+
+Full code blocks from the documentation guides: https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/wiki/VS-Code-Snippet-Extension#full-code-block-snippet-documentation
+
+Prefix naming convention for full code block snippets: "Amplify" + most recent heading in documentation.
+For code blocks that are not the first after a heading, prefixes are numbered in order (e.g. 3rd snippet in section with heading "Analytics Installation And Configuration" will have the prefix "Amplify Analytics Installation And Configuration 3".
+
+Selected code segments from the documentation guides, broken down by documentation page: 
+https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/wiki/VS-Code-Snippet-Extension#selected-code-block-snippet-documentation
+
+Single word snippets (snippets that complete single words when clicked): https://github.com/aws-amplify/amplify-js/wiki/VS-Code-Snippet-Extension#single-word-snippet-documentation
+
+*The snippets also have limited TypeScript functionality.
