Dynamic search filter for Smart Code Snippets

With an increasing number of Smart Code Snippets, it was challenging to search for and differentiate between them from the old search bar. With different privacy modes for Smart Code Snippets, we need something that can help you determine between all kinds of smart code snippets.

With the new update, you can differentiate among different code snippets from this panel using the dynamic search filter.

The search filter has the following options:

All Snippets - All global code snippets (Including public & private code snippets)
Public Code Snippets - All public code snippets
Private Code Snippets - All private code snippets in your account
Favourite Code Snippets - All code snippets you have added as a favourite

We have made it easier for you to add code snippets with our contextual Smart Code Snippets with the latest update. If you don’t know what a smart code snippet is, don’t worry; we have covered you.

Smart Code Snippets are the enhanced version of regular code snippets. Codiga’s Coding Assistant tool houses a growing library of Smart Code Snippets added and vetted by thousands of other developers who use our platform. Smart Code Snippets can be populated directly in VS Code and other IDEs using one of the Codiga plugins.

A Smart Code Snippet is an enhanced version of a code snippet with some additional advantages such as:

Name: Words/sentence that explains what the snippets do.
Language: The programming language of the code snippet.
Dependencies: what libraries of framework the snippet depends on (e.g. React, NextJS, etc.).
Placeholders: part of the snippet that the user can customise.
Description: multiple sentences that explain what the snippet does.
Keywords: helps to find the snippets for search engine.
Tags: list of tags to organise the snippet.

A quick recap on Smart Code Snippets

If you want to know more about smart code snippets, you can check out this detailed blog, but in a nutshell, Smart Code Snippets serve the purpose of speeding up the basis for any project or task. Code snippets are among the most valuable and essential hacks developers rely on to frame their work. We’ve taken these building blocks of code up a notch by integrating their functionalities within your chosen IDE.

Our network of users adds Smart Code Snippets, and these patterns of code are available for anyone using the Codiga platform. It’s important to note that when adding your code snippets, you can decide if you want to add them to our public library, known as Codiga Hub, or you also have the option to add private Smart Code Snippets that can only be found and used by you and your specified team.

Smart Code Snippets can be searched for on the Codiga Hub; you can filter by name, tags or keywords associated with the code snippet you are looking for. Once you have found a Smart Code Snippet, you can favor it, meaning it will populate within your IDE with just a few short commands, meaning you don’t need to stop what you’re doing to find the perfect code pattern. To speed up your work! Adding your Smart Code Snippets with our Jetbrains plugin can also be done directly in your IDE. Our aim is always to make our products easy to incorporate into your existing routine. Our most recent Jetbrains Codiga plugin update makes using Smart Code Snippets a more seamless experience!
