Cloud9 Snippets plugin work

c9-snippets

This is "snippets" for the Cloud 9 IDE.

Add this plugin to the editor and you'll be able to add code completion snippets the editor.

Currently the plugin creates a snippets folder with a sample snippet in it that you can activate by typing html5 and then Command-Shift-U (Ctrl-Shift-U on PC).

The "html5" text will be replaced with the contents of the html5 file in the snippets folder.

To add a snippet, just create a new file in the snippets folder named with something that is easy for you to remember. Type that name in the editor, press Command-Shift-U and the contents of the file will replace what you just typed.

TODO: add some additional snippets, and a nice UX for creating snippets. Might be nice to make the snippets a web service so that they can be shared and don't rely on local files to work.

c9-snippets's Issues

Having trouble installing and getting started.

I would love to use this plugin to create custom snippets in Cloud9, but I'm having trouble installing it and getting started.

When I run
c9 install snippets

I get the following error

c9 install snippets --force
module.js:327
    throw err;
    ^

Error: Cannot find module 'npmlog'

Do you have any idea what could be going wrong? Are you able to use this plugin yourself? Please let me know anything I can do to help get it working. I would absolutely love to be able to use custom snippets on cloud9
