In 2018 learning to code should be easy, right? You would think as time has gone on learning to code would have become easier especially with all the advances we have made. I am sure most have heard the story of AI taking over everything that man can do and do so much better. You have also probably have heard of AI creating it’s own computer language which us humans couldn’t understand and which was much more performant than we have yet to accomplish. All this aside we have made some major strides that help us to code in this ever more complicated enviornment. With all the different languages, libraries and frameworks out there, not to mention all the different other things like Markdown and Apps we should be familar with it has gotten very difficult. One thing that has made life easier is Emmet.

Emmet is a plug-in available in most if not all Code Editors. It helps us in a regex sort of way to type in a few characters and out comes multiple lines of code. I have used Atom, Dreamweaver, Buffer, CodeAnywhere, Brakets, Sublime and my favorite Visual Studio code. All have Emmet support for free. One editor I like but charges for everything is Coda 2. You have to pay extra to use Emmet which is total bull as you have to actually buy Coda 2 and then pay more for Emmet. Why would I use Coda if I can get a much better experience for free witha number of other Editors?

What can you do with Emmet? This is from there site.

Abbreviations are the heart of the Emmet toolkit: these special expressions are parsed in runtime and transformed into structured code block, HTML for example. The abbreviation’s syntax looks like CSS selectors with a few extensions specific to code generation. So every web-developer already knows how to use it.

Here’s an example: this abbreviation

…can be transformed into

…with just a single key stroke. In many editors (such as Eclipse, Sublime Text 2, Espresso etc.) plugins will also generate proper tabstop marks so you can quickly traverse between important places of generated code with the Tab key.

Abbreviations- Emmet are optimised for, but not limited to, HTML and XML generation, and make writing tedious markup code a breeze. You can start learning syntax to unleash the full power of Emmet abbreviations.

It is an awesome tool and you should be using it. The code snippet above looks a little intimidating but you can use it for much soimpler expansions. Like just typing . logo it gives you a div with the class of whatever you wrote after the dot. In this case logo.

<divclass='logo'></div>

One of the most powerful Emmet commands is Expand Abbreviation. With Emmet you can use abbreviations that are parsed in runtime to generate structured blocks of code. These abbreviations are based on CSS selectors allowing you to get up and running on Emmet in no time. The generated code includes tabstops that allow you to quickly traverse the code using the Tab key. Emmet works in (X)HTML, CSS, XML, XSL and JSP files. It will even give you CSS specific expansions in the CSS sections in HTML files and HTML support at appropriate locations in JSP files.
