YASnippet is a template system for Emacs that expands abbreviations into code snippets with placeholder fields. It supports a TextMate-like snippet definition syntax and conditional, mode-specific expansion.
Use cases
- expand code snippets in emacs
- create reusable text templates for programming
- convert textmate snippets to emacs
- speed up boilerplate typing in emacs
- define mode-specific snippet expansions
When to choose
- you use Emacs and want fast insertion of repeated code or text patterns
- you need customizable, conditional snippet expansion with placeholders
- you want to reuse existing TextMate snippets
When to avoid
- you use an editor other than Emacs
- you need full IDE-style refactoring or code generation rather than text templates
