Clojure LSP Snippets

Tab on the name of the snippet to expand. Tab to jump to additional tab stops.

Clojure LSP snippets appear in the completion popup, in the same way as Clojure functions and other symbols.

Clojure LSP snippets are editor agnostic, usable in any editor that supports clojure-lsp, making them more useful that editor specific snippets.

Clojure LSP snippets are defined using the EDN syntax and supports tab stops, placeholders with default values and can pull in a following form ($current-form).

Built-in snippets are defined in the clojure-lsp.feature.completion-snippet namespace.
