📌 Extension (VSCode)

Plum simplifies its utilization through a dedicated VSCode extension, encompassing a variety of code snippets. These snippets facilitate swift code generation for invoking mixins, functions, modules, frameworks, and more ...

Usage: You can install it by typing "plum" in the extension tab of your IDE

Prefix: The extension of Plum includes a particular "prefix" to better organize and classify its snippets:

plum-[category]-[name...] // e.g: plum-modules-oc-grape

[category]: These keywords serve as quick references for identifying the appropriate snippets to utilize. Here are the examples of categories (you can see the full list in the extension):

• import
• modules
• specs
• animation
• box
• effect
• input
• image
• position ...

[name]: This designation denotes a mixin, function, module, or framework name. It acts as a quick identifier for the specific code snippet you wish to employ. For example, if you're opting for the "blue" color scheme, simply typing "plum-blue" will prompt the extension to suggest "plum-modules-oc-blue" for your selection.
