They are no longer highlighted with a background color.

When the cursor falls outside the snippet, the placeholders will be deactivated and any text which has not been replaced will remain in the snippet.

Make sure to replace the placeholders and click OK to save the source code changes. Additionally, such group of placeholders might have identical texts beneath. The presence of one or more cursors indicate that those placeholders will be filled in simultaneously with the same text.

Replace all placeholders, otherwise, errors might occur as the code snippet syntax might be broken or the syntax remains unbroken but it is logically incorrect. When the cursor is over a placeholder, starting to type will remove the placeholder text. There might be placeholders without underlying text, visible due to a narrow gray line on that position. Pressing TAB when the cursor is over the last placeholder will move the cursor at the end of the snippet. To navigate from one placeholder to another, press the TAB key or SHIFT+ TAB. If no placeholder is available, the cursor will go to the end of the snippet. Upon snippet insertion, the cursor will be placed on the first placeholder (if any). In the example provided above, the ebs.callAction function snippet, “actionId” and “function body“, although not visible in the text above, might be placeholders. The placeholders are highlighted with a background color. The code snippets might contain hint words, known as placeholders which can be easily selected and changed. In the example provided above, “ebs.“ is inserted in front of the function to reduce further typing. If you do not place the cursor at end of the snippet path / name (full name) before pressing the TAB key, the snippet name will be breaking syntax. Placing the cursor right at the end of the snippet path/name (full name) and pressing the TAB key, the system will replace the string with: ebs.callAction( actionId, ) The snippets can be organized in menus or drop-downs on multiple levels in structures like hierarchies.Ī snippet name together with its selection path may look like: $s. There might be one or more entries in the list which are not snippets but group names in which case typing a dot after them will open new drop-down menu. opens a drop-down list which offers the possibility to choose a snippet name or another.

The sections below describe how to use the two mechanisms. displays code snippets for entities and attributes. Using Monaco Intellisense available via the Monaco Editor, the platform provides two mechanisms for using code snippets in Java Script text boxes, as follows: Code Snippets Support for JavaScript Text Boxes Introduction
