Indentation about snippets.nvim

[Shougo]

I think the example is needed.

Ah, I see. It doesn't actually require people to pass in the line number, as it is set to a v variable...

I was thinking that when expanding something and encountering \n character, you could insert the first line of the text, then call indentexpr to see what the indent of the next line would be.

I don't know if I have a good example, but basically I have an it expansion for lua to add it('$1', function()\n$0\nend) but the new lines don't indent to the right places (but they do when I hit enter)

[Shougo]

I get it.
I think tab character conversion is better like other snippet plugins.

it('$1', function()\n\t$0\nend)

Note: neosnippet implements the auto indentation feature by indent plugins.
But some indentation plugins are broken(PHP, python, etc...).

From Gitter (copying here so it's preserved and more visible/searchable): you can now do

local match_indentation = require'snippets.utils'.match_indentation

and then apply it to a snippet like so

["for"] = match_indentation "for ${1:i} = 0, $2 do\n  $0\nend",

What he said.

It's also available in require'snippets'.u as an alias for "snippets.utils"

It also includes a general utility in case you don't like the one I made for prefixing new lines.
