This is an offshoot of the question found here.
I want to create a new (python) file, and everytime I do so, I want vscode to write to the file the def main if name main idiom:
def main():
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
pass
Is there a json file I can write to? More broadly, can I do this for any file I create like having
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
}
for c++ be written for me when I create a new c++ file?
You can read docs about snippets.
python.json:"Print to console": {
"prefix": "main",
"body": [
"def main():",
" pass",
"if __name__ == \"__main__\":",
" pass"
],
"description": "Log output to console"
}
Then when you type main you can get the intellisense.
.
Another way is to use extension, you can create a template file for example:
main.py
def main():
pass
if __name__ == "__main__":
pass
Then use shortcuts "Ctrl+Shift+P" and type "Files: New Template From File".
When you want to use this template, you can use "File: New File From Template" and choose this main.py
