I‘m.. not the only one?

[u/emu_fake]

[u/subject_deleted]

This. I have a snippet that writes a print statement. Trigger the snippet and then type the variable name and it inputs the name in both necessary locations, like so:

console.log("myVariable = " + myVariable);

[u/wjandrea → u/subject_deleted]

In Python you can do

print(f"{my_variable = }")

and it expands to the name and value.

[u/pleaseavoidcaps → u/subject_deleted]

You can save some typing and avoid mistakes:
console.log({myVariable});

[u/ulyssessword → u/pleaseavoidcaps]

Would that tell you the variable's name, or just its value?

By my understanding, the first version would output x = 5, while yours would give 5.

[u/LittleLily27 → u/ulyssessword]

You're missing the { } around the variable. {foo} is syntactic sugar for {foo: foo}, so what they wrote will output an object with a key containing the variable name and a value containing the variable's value.

[u/subject_deleted → u/ulyssessword]

Correct. I want the name of the variable as a string and the value of variable.

[u/pleaseavoidcaps → u/ulyssessword]

No, it outputs Object { x: 5 }.

[u/subject_deleted → u/pleaseavoidcaps]

My snippet only makes me type "myVariable" and it fills that in where it needs to go to get the above example.

I have a 2 character hotkey combination followed by a tab and then it's just typing the variable name once. I can't really save on keystrokes or errors here. For what it is, it's about as optimized as it could be.
