How to get a file name into a code snippet in Visual Studio 2019

Question

I am preparing a code snippet in Visual Studio 2019 Community.

I want one of parameters for my snippet was a file name, where I want the snippet to be inserted (let's call it a "target file name").

If that is possible to get the file name as a replaceable parameter in the snippet, how do I do that?

By replaceable parameters I mean the ones with $some-parameter$ in the snippet.

Any ordinary parameter normally would be acquired from an <Declaration> section of the snippet. I am looking for a way to somehow fetch the "target file file" name from the view where I intend to put the snippet.

P.S. I did study the intro provided by the Microsoft Walkthrough: Create a code snippet and hadn't find anything that could help here. I checked all the code snippets provided in Visual Studio too.

Answer 1

i find this solution and works, for me, i hope works for you: You can add ${1:${TM_FILENAME_BASE}} tag in json snippet file to get file name and add it to output of snippet.
