Snippets: Your Code Library

Snippets are specialized for code, configuration files, and reusable commands. Unlike Notes, they focus on syntax, language detection, and execution context.

Intelligent Code Management

Automatic language detection, syntax highlighting for 50+ languages, and rich metadata.

Features

Monaco Editor

The same professional editor used in VS Code, with full support for:

  • Syntax Highlighting: Rust, TypeScript, Python, SQL, JSON, YAML, and more.
  • Auto-Detection: Paste code, and DevDesk guesses the language.
  • Manual Selection: Override language via the dropdown menu.

Organization

  • Tags: Organize by technology (`#Rust`, `#React`) or purpose (`#Config`, `#Script`).
  • Filtering: Filter by Language, Tag, or Search query.
  • Sorting: Sort by Name, Date, or Source App.

Metadata & Source Tracking

When you capture a snippet from an external app, DevDesk records:

  • Source App: Where the code came from (e.g., "VS Code", "StackOverflow").
  • Created Date: Precise timestamp.

Tools Synergy

snippets act as a bridge to DevDesk's integrated tools:

  • Send to Tool: Directly open your snippet in data tools.
    • Open JSON in Data Formatter
    • Open 2 versions in Diff Checker
