Ultyas is a command-line tool designed to simplify the process of converting code snippets from UltiSnips (Vim) to YASnippet format (Emacs).
With Ultyas, you can effortlessly migrate your code snippets to the YASnippet format, saving you valuable time and effort.
Here is how to install Ultyas locally to ~/.local/bin/ultyas
using pip:
pip install --user ultyas
To use Ultyas, simply run the command with the appropriate input and output files. Here is a basic example:
~/.local/bin/ultyas ~/.vim/UltiSnips/python.snippets -o ~/.emacs.d/snippets/python-mode/
This command takes an UltiSnips file python.snippets
and converts it to a directory that contains YASnippet snippets at ~/.emacs.d/snippets/python-mode/
.
usage: ultyas <file.snippets> -o <yasnippet-major-mode-dir>
A command-line tool for converting code snippets from UltiSnips to YASnippet format.
positional arguments:
ultisnips_file The UltiSnips .snippets file (e.g. '~/.vim/UltiSnips/python.snippets')
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-o YASNIPPET_DIR, --yasnippet-dir YASNIPPET_DIR
The YASnippet snippets major mode directory (e.g. '~/.emacs.d/snippets/python-mode/')
-i {auto,fixed,nothing}, --yas-indent-line {auto,fixed,nothing}
Add one of the following comments to the YASnippet snippets that will be generated: "# expand-env: ((yas-indent-line 'fixed))" or "# expand-env: ((yas-indent-line
'auto))". For more information on 'yas-indent-line', visit: https://joaotavora.github.io/yasnippet/snippet-reference.html#yas-indent-line

for ${1:_} in ${2:[]}:
${3:pass}
endsnippet
snippet while
