How to auto capitalize in custom snippet for user input - visual-studio-code

In my framework we are having a code structure like:
varname => ${VARNAME}
I am trying to use VSCode user snippet to make it working but unable to capitalize given varname!
https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_25#_snippet-placeholder-transformations
Tried this exact code but not working!!
Also tried already solved solutions also. But none of them working.
VS Code: How to convert snippet placeholder to uppercase or lowercase?
When using variable transformations like TM_FILENAME, capitalize working.
(https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_variables)
"Insert_const_variable": {
"prefix": "const",
"body": "${1:varname} -> ${1/(.*)/${1:/upcase}/}",
"description": "Declare const"
}
expected : const -> CONST
actual : const -> const
Thanks in advance.

VSCode - Make custom user snippets overwriting default suggestion

To match my company's coding standards, I'm making custom snippets like so:
// php.json
{
"If block": {
"prefix": ["if"],
"body": ["if ( ${1:condition} )", "{", "\t$0", "}"],
"description": "if block",
},
// ...
}
Then, when I type if + Tab, I have two suggestions:
I'm forced to press enter to actually select the first one, which is my custom made snippet ; the second being PHP's default snippet.
Is there a way to actually ignore PHP's default snippets in case I have the exact same prefix?

Variable does not expand in transformation

I am working on a VS code extension for a custom language. This contains a snippet that allows the user to create a function with parameters and start to set up some documentation inside the function. The way I am achieving this is to use variable transforms on the parameter variable (${2}) using some matching tricks to extract each individual parameter and data type. In this simpler example, each parameter name will be on its own line inside a block comment.
"function": {
"prefix": "func",
"body": [
"function ${1:functionName}(${2:params})",
"${2/([^,]+), *|([^,]+$)/\t${BLOCK_COMMENT_START} ${1}${2} ${BLOCK_COMMENT_END}\n/g}",
"end"
]
}, ...
The expected output is this:
function functionName(hello,world)
{ hello }
{ world }
end
The actual output is this:
function functionName(hello,world)
${BLOCK_COMMENT_START} hello ${BLOCK_COMMENT_END}
${BLOCK_COMMENT_START} world ${BLOCK_COMMENT_END}
end
The issue is that ${BLOCK_COMMENT_START} and _END do not expand inside the transform. I can easily get around this issue by hardcoding the curly braces in the snippet, but I would prefer to find a way where I do not have to do that.
"body": [
"function ${1:functionName}(${2:params})",
"${2/([^,]+), *|([^,]+$)/\t{ ${1}${2} }\n/g}",
"end"
]
Is there a way that I can have a variable expand in the transform?

vscode shows error in JSX attribute name that has colon

In my JSX code I have attribute name that has colon in its name but vscode shows error. Even after formatting my code, vscode automatically create a space after colon. How to solve these two problems?
By not having colon in your attribute name. While technically possible, attribute names should be camelCase.
If you can't get around this, you could create and object and destructure it onto props.
const A = () => {
const fooProps = {
'on:resize': onResize
}
return <Foo {...fooProps} />
}

How can I select a part of TM_DIRECTORY variable?

I want to select a part of the TM_DIRECTORY variable on VScode snippet. I mean I want to select Tests\Setup of the d:\Projects\Hakhsin\hakhsin\tests\Setup in code-snippet file. Look at this:
// On snippet file
"PHP Class": {
"scope": "",
"prefix": ["phpClass"],
"body": [
"<?php\n\nnamespace ${TM_DIRECTORY/(?<=(?:[\w:\\]hakhsin\\)).+(?=\\)//};\n\nclass ${TM_FILENAME_BASE} {\n\t$2\n}"
],
"description": "New PHP Class"
},
And I want to get this result:
namespace Tests\Setup;
class StorageFactory {
}
But I get this result:
<?php
namespace d:\Projects\Hakhsin\hakhsin\tests\Setup;
class StorageFactory {
}
It doesn't appear you can use variables inside of other variables in a snippet transform.
You can try this code which is more "dynamic" than yours but not perfect:
"${TM_DIRECTORY/([^\\\\]*\\\\){4}(.*)/${2:/capitalize}/}",
The {4} in that is if you have 4 segments in the directory structure before the part you want, like d:\Projects\Hakhsin\hakhsin\tests\Setup The segments are d:\, Projects\, Hakhsin\ and hakhsin\. If that number of segments is known and stable than the snippet I showed works well.
I doubt the number of those segments would vary within a project but might very well between projects - you would just have to change the {x} item for each project if so.
I solved it but it is not dynamic.
namespace ${TM_DIRECTORY/(.*hakhsin\\\\)(.*)/${2:/capitalize}/};
Is there a better way? anything like this:
namespace ${TM_DIRECTORY/(.*${WORKSPACE_NAME}\\\\)(.*)/${2:/capitalize}/};
This is the result:
<?php
namespace Tests\Setup;
class StorageFactory {
}

Haxe: Creating a code completion macro for JSON files

I am trying to implement a code completion macro for JSON files by generating field definitions
var classOfChild = Type.getClass(child); // `child` may look like this array: [[1,2,3],[0.1,0.2,0.3]]
fields.push({
"name": childName,
"pos" : _pos,
"kind": childType,
});
I already watched some videos and read some tutorials on this, but there is no information how to get ComplexType from a Type.typeof(object) result.
I have tried code that doesn't work like:
//"kind": childType,
//"kind": childType.toString(),
//"kind": FVar(macro {childType.toString(); }),
//"kind": FVar(macro Array<$v{arrType}>)
but none of them worked (all of them raise some Error or )
Edit 1: here is my json data:
{"floatVar1":0.1, "str":"some string", "nullValueObject":null, "arrayOfInts":[11,20,9], "matrixLikeArray":[[14, 12, 13, 11, 18]], "floatMatrix":[[14.4, 12.3, 13.7, 11.9, 18.0]], "symbolPayouts":[0.05], "objectInObject":{"prop1":"some str", "prop2": "some str2", "prop3":10.17, "prop4":[[1,2,3],[19.3,20.4]]}}
I would like to create Definitions for prop4, ("prop4":[[1,2,3],[19.3,20.4]])
Edit 2: I have already figured out how to create the "kind" for the simple types ("kind": FVar(macro:Dynamic)) and the object (kind : FVar(TAnonymous( jsonFields ))). But how to do that for arrays, arrays of arrays, etc.
Edit 3: code in gist.github.com
When generating code with macros it is easy to attempt to generate something which isn't efficient and you did get side tracked by trying to define explicit types.
Based on your gist, you just need to define a json field and give it the content of your JSON file as the field's value as if you were defining the value as a Haxe literal object.
Your goal is then to generate something you could have written as:
private var json = { prop1:'hello', prop2:42, prop3:[1,2,3] };
The haxe compiler will strongly type this json field.
To achieve that, your macro just need to add one field with an initial value obtained from the JSON file; and likewise, the Haxe compiler will strictly type it.
Creating a variable with a type to be inferred by the compiler is simply FVar(null, valueExpr), which means your entire macro can be reduced to:
var fields = Context.getBuildFields();
var json = Json.parse(src);
fields.push({
name : "json",
pos : Context.currentPos(),
kind : FVar(null, macro $v{json}),
access: [APrivate],
});
return fields;
For a more elaborated version I can point you on the following gist: ResourceGenerator.hx which will generate recursively "inlinable" and dce-friendly objects.
PS: sadly your "prop4":[[1,2,3],[19.3,20.4]] is impossible because it will be seen by the compiler as an Array of incompatible types ([Array<Int>, Array<Float>]).
