About project-scoped snippets

[madjxatw]

#197 has been there for long time without progress, but that feature is really useful because every project may have its unique snippets.

In a multi-root workspace in VSCode, you can define project-scoped snippets that are only available when the project is active. The project-scoped snippet files are stored in the .vscode subdirectory in the project root.

For blink.cmp, I can have a function that modifies search_paths dynamically to add the project's .vscode whenever a project's root is detected, and use an auto command to triggers the function upon DirChanged and BufReadPost events. But this only works with the first open project. Making changes to search_paths later doesn't make blink to refresh the snippets (clearing the old ones and loading the new ones from the new search paths). For example, when switching from project A into project B, the snippets for project A are still there, while the snippets for project B are not loading. I gave a try to require("blink.cmp").reload("snippets") after changing the search_paths, but reload() seems to do nothing more than emptying the internal cache.

With the limited knowledge of blink.cmp, I have no idea how to implement the fully functional project-scoped snippets feature as in VSCode.

you might be able to do something with luasnip, but that might be unappealing for you

[DrTeagle]

IIRC you can force unload luasnip??

[DrTeagle]

that said, I believe I remeber seeing a plugin that loads .vscode for neovim, lemme search around rq

found it I believe?:
vscode

ahh, LuaSnip:
load_standalone

I've said there is no problem to load snippets from a project, the exact problem is how to clear the snippets when I switch to another project. I don't expect to see the snippets specific to project A popping up when I am working on project B. Even without LuaSnip, I can also configure blink itself to load snippets when Noevim enters a project root, the key point is how to clear snippets rather than how to load them.
