How It Works

Automatic Detection

The package automatically detects your IDE(s) by:

1. Environment variables (high confidence)

   • VSCODE_CWD, TERM_PROGRAM, ATOM_HOME

2. Filesystem checks (lower confidence)

   • VS Code config directories
   • Atom config directories

3. Fallback behavior

   • If no IDE detected → installs to ALL supported IDEs
   • Ensures snippets are available even if detection fails

Installation Paths

VS Code (Windows):

%APPDATA%\Code\User\snippets\javascript.json
%APPDATA%\Code\User\snippets\typescript.json

VS Code (macOS):

~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/snippets/javascript.json
~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/snippets/typescript.json

VS Code (Linux):

~/.config/Code/User/snippets/javascript.json
~/.config/Code/User/snippets/typescript.json

Atom (All platforms):

~/.atom/snippets.cson

Update Behavior

When you update @trivajs/shortcuts:

• New snippets are added
• Changed snippets are updated
• Existing snippets are preserved (no duplicates)
• Removed snippets stay until package is uninstalled

Uninstallation

npm uninstall @trivajs/shortcuts

Automatically removes all Triva snippets from your IDE(s) on uninstall.

Manual Installation

If automatic installation doesn't work, you can manually add snippets:

VS Code

1. Open Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P / Cmd+Shift+P)
2. Select "Preferences: Configure User Snippets"
3. Choose "javascript.json" or "typescript.json"
4. Copy snippets from triva/snippets/triva.json

Atom

1. Open ~/.atom/snippets.cson
2. Add Triva snippets under .source.js: or .source.ts:
3. Save and reload Atom

Snippet Format

Snippets use standard VS Code format with:

• Placeholders - ${1:default} - Tab to navigate
• Choices - ${1|option1,option2|} - Select from list
• Variables - $0 - Final cursor position

Troubleshooting

Snippets Not Appearing

VS Code:

1. Restart VS Code
2. Check: File > Preferences > User Snippets
3. Verify snippets in javascript.json or typescript.json

Atom:

1. Reload Atom (Ctrl+Shift+F5 / Cmd+Shift+F5)
2. Check ~/.atom/snippets.cson
3. Verify correct CSON syntax

Permission Errors

Run npm with appropriate permissions:

# Linux/macOS
sudo npm install @trivajs/shortcuts
# Windows (as Administrator)
npm install @trivajs/shortcuts

Multiple IDEs

If you have multiple IDEs, snippets install to all detected IDEs. This is intentional to ensure availability.

Development

Add New Snippets

Edit triva/snippets/triva.json:

{
"Snippet Name": {
"prefix": "trigger-text",
"body": [
"line 1",
"line 2 with ${1:placeholder}",
"$0"
],
"description": "What this snippet does"
}
}

Test Locally

cd extensions/shortcuts
npm install
# Snippets auto-install to your IDE

Contributing
