The show command is for showing the contents of the snippet in your command line.
snippet show --name for_i
This will search the snippets for one named for_i. When multiple snippets are found, you’ll be presented with a list to choose from:
Multiple snippets found, which one would you like to view? (Press ↑/↓ arrow to move and Enter to select)
‣ for_i
break_for_i
for_i
Once a snippet is chosen it will be printed to the command line like this:
for 1 := 1; i < 10; i++ {
// do something
}
From there you can observe or select and copy the snippet and use.
If you do not provide a name option, then an interactive list of snippet names will be shown. For all intents and purposes the name is optional.
Copy directly to clipboard
The show command supports a --copy flag that will automatically copy the snippet to your clipboard. To use, add the copy flag to your command like this:
./bin/snippet show --name for_i --copy
# OR:
./bin/snippet show --name for_i --copy=true
The snippet will render into the terminal as normal, but you should see a copy success message like this in the output as well:
COPIED: /path/to/snippets/golang/for_i.go
To use, simply ctrl/⌘ + v as you usually would.
