Migrating from UltiSnips
This page collects various tips for UltiSnips who want to quickly migrate to LuaSnip. The aim is to have all the relevant information in the same place, so that UltiSnips users can quickly get started with LuaSnip. More advanced features of LuaSnip, such as Lua snippets, are not covered.
- Evaluation using backticks (``) (DOC/LOADERS)
(Note that this list may not be complete.)
Install the plugin following the README.
To load snippets in a format similar to UltiSnips' snippets, you want to use the SnipMate-like loader:
require("luasnip.loaders.from_snipmate").lazy_load()
By default, the snippets should be placed in a directory named snippets
in your runtimepath
(see :help runtimepath
).
You can also specify a custom path:
require("luasnip.loaders.from_snipmate").lazy_load( paths = { "./my-snippets" } })
Here ./
specifies a path relative to $MYVIMRC
.
See DOC/LOADERS for more information.
Again, refer to the README.
The last two keymaps in the example (for <C-E>
) are not necessary for a basic UltiSnips-like setup.
For a "supertab"-like setup with nvim-cmp
, see nvim-cmp
's wiki (click on "Show config" under luasnip).
