One of the things I love about modern text editors is code snippets. Coding tends to involve repetition, code snippets can really help cut down on needless typing.
I group all my code snippets by prefixing them with “my”. That way to view all my snippets I just start typing “my” and Atom shows all my snippets for the specific file type I’m currently working on.
Some simple examples I use quite often are:
myHTML - My own HTML boilerplate
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge" />
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="assets/css/style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="assets/js/script.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</body>
</html>myjQuery - Inserts jQuery using their CDN
<script

/>myLog - inserts a console.log() to help debug my JavaScript
console.log();Getting all this working in Atom is a fairly easy affair. I found the below video by Hitesh Choudhary super useful.
