The [Creating snippets](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_creating-your-own-snippets) topic contains all information for creating snippets. This guide / sample just shows how you can turn your own snippets into an extension for sharing. The suggested workflow is:

- Create and test your snippets using `Preferences: Configure User Snippets` command
- Create and test your snippets using `Snippets: Configure User Snippets` command
- Once you are happy with the snippets, copy the whole JSON file into an extension folder, such as `snippets.json`
- Add the following snippet contribution to your `package.json`

Single-language user-defined snippets are defined in a specific language's snippet file (for example `javascript.json`), which you can access by language identifier through **Preferences: Configure User Snippets**. A snippet is only accessible when editing the language for which it is defined.
Single-language user-defined snippets are defined in a specific language's snippet file (for example `javascript.json`), which you can access by language identifier through **Snippets: Configure User Snippets**. A snippet is only accessible when editing the language for which it is defined.

Multi-language and global user-defined snippets are all defined in "global" snippet files (JSON with the file suffix `.code-snippets`), which is also accessible through **Preferences: Configure User Snippets**. In a global snippets file, a snippet definition may have an additional `scope` property that takes one or more [language identifiers](/docs/languages/identifiers.md), which makes the snippet available only for those specified languages. If no `scope` property is given, then the global snippet is available in **all** languages.

Most user-defined snippets are scoped to a single language, and so are defined in a language-specific snippet file.

### Project snippet scope

You can also have a global snippets file (JSON with file suffix `.code-snippets`) scoped to your project. Project-folder snippets are created with the **New Snippets file for '<folder-name>'...** option in the **Preferences: Configure User Snippets** dropdown menu and are located at the root of the project in a `.vscode` folder. Project snippet files are useful for sharing snippets with all users working in that project. Project-folder snippets are similar to global snippets and can be scoped to specific languages through the `scope` property.
