Code Snippets iWonder

Code Snippets iWonder is a productivity extension for the Zed editor, aimed at speeding up your development workflow by providing a comprehensive collection of code snippets.

Currently, this extension provides robust support for Python, covering everything from basic control flow to type hinting and asynchronous programming.

Features

Instant Boilerplate: Quickly insert common patterns like main blocks, class definitions, and loops.
Modern Python Support: Includes snippets for async/await, type hinting, and f-strings.
Debugging Helpers: Fast insertion of logging statements and debug prints.
Type Safety: Pre-filled snippets with type annotations for variables and functions.
Context Aware: Snippets designed for specific contexts (e.g., class methods vs. standalone functions).

🤝 Call for Contributions

We currently support Python, but we want to build a universal library of snippets!

We invite the community to help add support for other languages (JavaScript, Rust, Go, C++, etc.). If you have a favorite set of snippets or want to improve the existing ones, please submit a Pull Request.

Installation

Method 1: Zed Extension Store (Recommended)

Open Zed.
Press Cmd+Shift+X (or click the Extensions icon in the sidebar).
Search for Code Snippets iWonder.
Click Install.

Method 2: Manual / Git Installation (For Development)

If you want to modify the snippets or contribute to the project:

Clone this repository to a local directory:

git clone https://github.com/ityme/snippet-iwonder.git

Open Zed.
Go to Extensions view.
Click the Install Dev Extension button (or "Load Extension from Folder").
Select the snippet-iwonder folder you just cloned.

Usage

Simply type the prefix of a snippet in your editor, and Zed will show the autocomplete suggestion. Press Tab or Enter to insert the snippet. You can then tab through the placeholders (e.g., variable names, arguments) to customize the code.

Python Snippets Guide

The Python module (python.json) is designed to cover the full spectrum of Python development. Here is a guide to the included snippets:

1. Entry Points & Imports

Start your files quickly.

Prefix	Description
`main`	Generates the standard `if __name__ == "__main__":` block.
`import`	Basic `import module`.
`from`	`from module import item`.

2. Function & Class Definitions

Includes aliases for speed (e.g., func vs def).

Prefix	Description
`def` / `func`	Standard function definition.
`class`	Class definition with `__init__`.
`def-self` / `func-self`	Instance method (automatically adds `self` as the first argument).
`property`	Full property definition with `@property`, `@x.setter`, and `@x.deleter`.
`decorator`	Template for creating a standard decorator.
`decorator-with-arg`	Template for a decorator that accepts arguments.
`lambda`	Inline lambda function.

3. Control Flow

Prefix	Description
`if`, `ifelse`, `elif`	Conditional blocks.
`for-i-in`	Standard for-loop iteration.
`while`	While loop.
`try`, `try-finally`	Exception handling with `try/except` and optional `finally`.
`with`	Context manager usage (specifically tailored for file opening).
`context-manager`	Template for creating your own Context Manager class (`__enter__`, `__exit__`).

4. Asynchronous Programming

Prefix	Description
`def-async`	Define an `async def` coroutine.
`def-self-async`	Define an `async` method inside a class.

5. Type Hinting (Modern Python)

These snippets help you write type-safe code faster by pre-filling annotation syntax.

Prefix	Description
`def-hint`	Function definition with arguments and return type hints (`-> None`).
`def-self-hint`	Class method definition with type hints.
`var-hint-int`	Variable declaration: `x: int = 0`.
`var-hint-str`	Variable declaration: `s: str = ""`.
`var-hint-list`	Variable declaration: `l: list[...] = [...]`.
`var-hint-dict`	Variable declaration: `d: dict[..., ...] = {...}`.

6. Debugging & Logging

Don't waste time typing out print statements.

Prefix	Description
`print`	Simple `print()`.
`print-with-type`	Prints a value alongside its type for debugging: `print(val, type(val))`.
`f-string`	Self-documenting f-string for debugging variables: `f"{var=}"`.
`log-info`	`logging.info(...)`
`log-debug`	`logging.debug(...)`
`log-warn`	`logging.warn(...)`
`log-error`	`logging.error(...)`

7. Utilities

Prefix	Description
`doc`	Generates a Google-style docstring template.
`list-comprehension`	Snippet for `[x for x in ...]`.
`dict-comprehension`	Snippet for `{k:v for k,v in ...}`.
`sort-list`	Sorts a list in-place with a lambda key.
`sorted-list`	Creates a new sorted list using `sorted()`.

Happy Coding!
