Generating Snippets with LuaSnip in Neovim

TL;DR When you have many variations of the same snippet, one option is to generate those with Lua code. The complete example is at the end. I’ve recently moved to LuaSnip as my snippets plugin for Neovim. When I first started, I sticked to the simplest features of LuaSnip, in particular the SnipMate-like syntax for snippets.

How I Got Started with NeoVim’s Lua Configuration

Four months ago I was still using SpaceVim when I stumbled upon a blog post on how to configure NeoVim with Lua. I then started to create my own configuration. In this post I’ll share the learnings acquired in the process. I hope you will find this useful to create your own configuration! Why create your own Vim config from scratch? Vim has been my daily driver for about ten years. Almost from the beginning, I used Vim distributions for ease of configuration. Spf13 vim first and then SpaceVim. With a distribution, one gets a lot of bells and whistle without spending too much time configuring things. So why spend hours setting up NeoVim from scratch? ...
