A snippet template is a component in Web Commander to display static content. It refers to a reusable piece of code or functionality that can be added to a web page. A snippet template can be used to add various elements to a website, such as forms, images, buttons, and more.
Snippets template can be a great way to add common elements to a website quickly and easily, without the need for extensive coding knowledge. Additionally, using snippets template can help ensure consistency and standardisation across a website, as they provide a standardised way to add certain elements and features.
Why Snippet Templates Are Essential?
- Snippet templates provide a structured and consistent way of creating and reusing code snippets across your website.
- By defining a template, you can ensure that all code snippets follow the same structure and conventions, making them easier to read and maintain.
- The use of snippets can help streamline the web development process and make it easier for non-technical users to add new features to their websites without coding. Users can change the text, layout, page Left, etc. of a snippet from the editor.
When should you avoid creating Snippet Templates?
may not be appropriate to use them. Here are some situations in which you should avoid creating a snippet template:
- If the block you’re working on is one-time or unlikely to be reused, creating a snippet template may not be worth the effort. In this case, it is more efficient to write the code as needed rather than creating a template that will not be used again.
- If the code you’re working on is very specific to a specific project or use case, creating a general-purpose snippet template may be impractical. In this case, it is preferable to write the code within the context of the project rather than attempting to create a template that may or may not be applicable to other projects.
In this documentation, we will cover how to install, use, and customise snippets for use in your Web Commander projects.
