Excluding specific snippets from specific filetype

[fmorroni]

Hi, I see there's a way to exclude all snippets of a specific language, but I'd like to exclude specific snippets. For example I have a custom for snippet for javascript and I would like to disable the friendly-snippets' one, while still leaving the rest active.
Is this currently possible?

Hi @fmorroni, I don't currently have a lua snippet to share. However, I can recommend this alternative (assuming you're using LuaSnip as the snippet engine):

{
  "custom-for-loop": {
    "prefix": "for",
    "body": "for { $0 }",
    "luasnip": {
      "priority": 2000
    }
  }
}

where the important part is this:

"luasnip": {
  "priority": 2000
}

This will place the custom for loop snippet above the one loaded from friendly-snippets. Pretty sure the number just needs to be >= 100, but test around and see for yourself. I tested with 2000 and it worked ... so let me know if this helps (at least in the short term)! 🙂
