VS Code ES7+ React/Redux/React-Native/JS snippets

Customizable JavaScript and React/Redux snippets for VS Code, with first-class support for ES7+ syntax, React 17–19, React Router v6, Redux Toolkit, and TypeScript.

Maintained by r5n. Continues the work of the original vscode-es7-javascript-react-snippets extension. The legacy es7-react-js-snippets listing is deprecated; install r5n.es-js-snippets for new updates.

What's new in v5

• React 17–19 support — components no longer add import React by default (toggle via importReactOnTop).
• React Router v6 imports.
• Redux Toolkit (createSlice, createApi / RTK Query) snippets.
• Performance: snippet generation no longer mutates source on settings reload, fixing stale snippets after toggling options.
• languageScopes is validated; invalid scopes are dropped instead of silently breaking activation.

See CHANGELOG.md for the full list.

Configuration

Settings live under reactSnippets.settings.*. Restart VS Code after changes.

Releasing (maintainers)

Releases publish to VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX via GitHub Actions:

1. Trigger the Release workflow in the Actions tab and pick a version bump (prerelease, patch, minor, major) or pass an explicit semver (5.0.0-rc.2).
2. The workflow runs lint + tsc, packages with vsce package, publishes with vsce publish and ovsx publish (auto-detects --pre-release for -rc/-beta versions), pushes the tag, and creates a GitHub Release with the .vsix attached.
3. Required repo secrets: VSCE_PAT (Azure DevOps PAT scoped to the r5n Marketplace publisher), OVSX_PAT (Open VSX namespace token).
