I already use a similar snippet for `const foo = require("bar")`,
since not all module names are valid identifiers (think: anything with
a hyphen), and sometimes I prefer to destructure. In Atom, I currently
have a snippet for `const ${2:$1} = require("$1")` and `import ${2:$1}
from "$1"` that I personally use\*, which are incredibly useful (I
don't have to specify whether I'm using named, default, or namespace
imports, and can just type them as I go, and I also get a helpful
default name in the process).\* Well...not currently, thanks to this ugly bug in a recent update: https://github.com/atom/snippets/issues/266 ----- Isiah Meadows [email protected] Looking for web consulting?
