How can I open a new Visual Studio Code file with pre-set template code inside it?

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to open a new file in Visual Studio Code with code already written inside it, like a template code.

This is to save time instead of writing the same line of code on every new file I create for a project.

Answer 1

I found that what I was asking for was essentially how to create a code snippet that holds a template code. In Visual Studio Code:

1. Use Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) and search preferences:Configure User Snippits
2. Then search javascript.json
3. Then write in your code (if you don't know the format use: https://snippet-generator.app/ or search how to write it)
4. Then add that code and use your assigned prefix keyword to generate the template on your file.
