Adding Content inside tags

Attributes can be added using []

a[href=https://?google.com data-toggle=something target=_blank] 

<a href="https://?google.com" data-toggle="something" target="_blank"></a>

Numbering

Numbering can be done using $
You can use this inside tag or contents.

h${This is so awesome $}*6 

<h1>This is so awesome 1</h1>
<h2>This is so awesome 2</h2>
<h3>This is so awesome 3</h3>
<h4>This is so awesome 4</h4>
<h5>This is so awesome 5</h5>
<h6>This is so awesome 6</h6>

Use @- to reverse the Numbering

img[src=image$$@-.jpg]*5 

<img src="image05.jpg" alt="">
<img src="image04.jpg" alt="">
<img src="image03.jpg" alt="">
<img src="image02.jpg" alt="">
<img src="image01.jpg" alt="">

To start the numbering from specific number, use this way

img[src=emmet$@100.jpg]*5 

<img src="emmet100.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet101.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet102.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet103.jpg" alt="">
<img src="emmet104.jpg" alt="">

Tips

  • Use : to expand known abbreviations

input:date 

<input type="date" name="" id="">

form:post 

<form action="" method="post"></form>

link:css 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  • Building Navbar

.navbar>ul>li*3>a[href=#]{Item $@-} 

<div class="navbar">
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Item 1</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

CSS

Emmet works surprisingly well with css as well.

  • f:l 
float: left;

You can also use any options n/r/l

  • pos:a­ 
position: absolute;

Also use any options, pos:a/r/f

  • d:n/b­/f/­i/ib

d:ib 

display: inline-block;
  • You can use m for margin and p for padding followed by direction

mr -> margin-right

pr -> padding-right

  • @f will result in 
@font-face {
  font-family:;
  src:url();
}

You can also use these shorthands

React Tricks

REACT-TIPS React Tips Replace Redux with React Query As our application gets larger it becomes harder to manage state across our components, we may reach for a state management library like Redux. If our application relies on data that we get from an API, we often use Redux to fetch that server state and then update our application state. This can be a challenging process; not only do you have to fetch data, but you also need to handle the different states, depending on whether you have the data or are in a loading or error state. Instead of using Redux to manage data you get from a server, use a library like React Query. React Query not only gives you greater control over making HTTP requests in your React apps through helpful hooks and the ability to easily refetch data, but it also enables us to seamlessly manage state across our app components, of...
