Sorry for the very newb question, but was just trying to configure a separate directory for yasnippets in spacemacs. I am not familar with emacs lisp at all. So it says that I can put the directory in
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(auto-completion :variables
auto-completion-return-key-behavior 'complete
auto-completion-tab-key-behavior 'cycle
auto-completion-complete-with-key-sequence nil
auto-completion-complete-with-key-sequence-delay 0.1
auto-completion-private-snippets-directory nil)
))
so I have to set the auto-completion-private-snippets-directory, but I was not sure how to configure a custom directory like "~/Dropbox/snippets". I tried the code below with the added directory, but it was not working.
dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
...
auto-completion-private-snippets-directory "~/Dropbox/snippets")
))
I was not sure if I need to try pushing the new directory to the variable, etc. Any suggestions.
I figured out how to do this. Basically just needed to append directories to the yas-snippet-dirs variable. These additional directories are then added to the list of directories from which yasnippet gathers snippets.
;; Snippet configuration
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
(auto-completion :variables
auto-completion-return-key-behavior 'complete
auto-completion-tab-key-behavior 'cycle
auto-completion-complete-with-key-sequence nil
auto-completion-complete-with-key-sequence-delay 0.1
auto-completion-enable-snippets-in-popup t
auto-completion-enable-sort-by-usage t
auto-completion-enable-help-tooltip t
auto-completion-private-snippets-directory nil)
))
;; add extra snippet directories
(setq yas-snippet-dirs (append yas-snippet-dirs
'("/home/<username>/Dropbox/.../snippets")))
(setq yas-snippet-dirs (append yas-snippet-dirs
'("/home/<username>/Dropbox/.../more_snippets")))
