how to use the $ char in sublimetext snippets?

Question

Does any of you know how to use $ char inside a sublimetext snippet? It conflicts with the placeholder syntax.

But what about all that js/jquery stuff like $(document).ready?

$(document).ready(function(){
  ${1}
});

You can clearly see the problem here.. I can't find a solution on docs

Answer 1

You can escape special characters like $ with the backslash key \.

Example:

\$(document).ready(function(){ 
  ${1} 
});

Result:

$(document).ready(function(){
  ${1}
});
