Load workspace setting snippets from .vscode dir

[changangus]

Hi,

First off thanks for the awesome project, it's much appreciated! I was wondering if there's a way to load snippets from a VScode workspace directory. Here's a screenshot of where the snippets are located:

I saw that it's possible to add a path to custom snippets from my lua config, but I was hoping to not have to manage workspace specific snippets in there.

We are having a "discussion" about it right now, check here and (as ex-vscode user) help us to define what you need there.

Hey @leiserfg, the need for me is to somehow load project specific .code-snippets files automatically. That way I can work across different repos without having to add all of those project specific snippets to my lua config. Let me know if there's anything else I can clear up, I did take a quick look at the comments in that PR and I think this comment makes sense to me as a solution that would be able to accommodate my use case. Thanks again for all of y'alls hard work!

As a workaround you can pass absolute path to the .code-snippets to the package.json (which is specified by the require("LuaSnip").load() function. But be aware that LuaSnip may support a different mechanism to load these snippets in the future.

Adding on to this but not from a vscode perspective, is it possible to have something which loads a relative path (e.g. a .luasnippets directory for specific projects)?

Oh, that's possible already, call

require("luasnip.loaders.from_lua").load({paths = {vim.fn.getcwd() .. "/.luasnippets/"}})

(getcwd because . is interpreted as relative to config-directory)

@changangus you can follow #894, it'll implement/enable this :)
Could you share a few of those .code-snippet-files you have? Just to make sure I'm not misunderstanding anything about the format

This has worked for some time now, since #1033 we can also detect .code-snippets-files created while the session is running.
require("luasnip.loaders.from_vscode").load_standalone({path = vim.fn.getcwd() .. "/.vscode/snippets.code-snippets", lazy = true})
(but you'll have to always use the same name for the file, is that a big limitation?)
