Add a Code Snippet

Overview

Use code snippets to extend functionality in Forms. Cora SeQuence provides pre-configured snippets.

When you create a snippet file, you can create one file for each snippet, or a file that contains multiple snippets.

Cora SeQuence snippets support the following languages:

• HTML
• JavaScript
• CSS

Note: Cora SeQuence supports Visual Studio snippets.

Snippet Tokens

Cora SeQuence provides two built-in tokens.

• $selected$: represents text selected in the document that is inserted into the snippet when invoked.
• $end$: the cursor's location after you insert the code snippet.

Procedure

1. Create a snippet file with a .sqsnippet extension.
   Example: alert.sqsnippet
2. Copy the snippet file to ~/Shared Resources/Components/Forms/Snippets/SnippetLanguage.
   You can create an additional directory. This directory appears as a node in the tree in the snippets wizard.
3. Recycle the Administration site Application Pool for the changes to be implemented.
