Contains the code snippets for Reactjs development in VS Code editor
vscode-react
This extension contains code snippets for Reactjs and is based on the awesome babel-sublime-snippets package.
Installation
In order to install an extension you need to launch the Command Pallete (Ctrl + Shift + P or Cmd + Shift + P) and type Extensions.
There you have either the option to show the already installed snippets or install new ones.
Supported languages (file extensions)
- JavaScript (.js)
- TypeScript (.ts)
- JavaScript React (.jsx)
- TypeScript React (.tsx)
Breaking change in version 2.0.0
Removed support for jsx language as it was giving errors in developer tools #39
Breaking change in version 1.0.0
Up until verion 1.0.0 all the JavaScript snippets where part of the extension. In order to avoid duplication
the snippets are now included only to this extension and if you want to use them you have to install it explicitly.
Usage
When installing the extension React development could be really fun
As VS Code from version 0.10.10 supports React components syntax inside js files the snippets are available for JavaScript language as well.
In the following example you can see the usage of a React stateless component with prop types snippets inside a js and not jsx file.

The following table lists all the snippets that can be used for prop types.
Every snippet regarding prop types begins with pt so it's easy to group it all together and explore all the available options.
On top of that each prop type snippets has one equivalent when we need to declare that this property is also required.
For example pta creates the PropTypes.array and ptar creates the PropTypes.array.isRequired
