Description:

This key defines configuration options for key-value list parser configurations.

The value is an object that can contain models, format, and style properties. These options control how multiple key-value pairs are parsed and validated.

formatObject#

This key defines formatting options for parsing snippet parameters.

The value is an object that can contain various options controlling how snippet parameters are parsed, including boundaries, delimiters, allowed value types, and string formatting options.

Appears in: Argument List Parser Configuration options, Argument Parser Configuration options, Key Value List Parser Configuration options, Snippet Definition Value.

A common option to configure for the argument parser is the string_boundary:

_snippets:
  video:
    snippet: <<video [[video_arg]]>>
    params:
      video_arg:
        parser: argument
        options:
          model:
            editor_key: video_id
          format:
            string_boundary:
              - '"'
              - '`'
{
  "_snippets": {
    "video": {
      "snippet": "<<video [[video_arg]]>>",
      "params": {
        "video_arg": {
          "parser": "argument",
          "options": {
            "model": {
              "editor_key": "video_id"
            },
            "format": {
              "string_boundary": [
                "\"",
                "`"
              ]
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

This would make our snippet match <<video "CZcNgDN81Sw">> or <<video `CZcNgDN81Sw`>> but not <<video 'CZcNgDN81Sw'>> or <<video CZcNgDN81Sw>>.

Another common requirement is specifying forbidden_tokens, especially when defining an argument with no string boundary.

modelsArray<Snippet Model> Required#

This key defines the models for each key in key-value list parser configurations.

The value is an object where each property key is a key name and each property value is a model configuration object. These models define how each key-value pair is parsed and validated.

Appears in: Key Value List Parser Configuration options.

styleObject#

This key defines styling options for snippet output formatting.

The value is an object that can contain output, inline, and block properties. These options control how snippet content is parsed and formatted to produce cleaner source code.

Appears in: Content Parser Configuration options, Key Value List Parser Configuration options, Repeating Parser Configuration options, Wrapper Parser Configuration options.
