For the past couple of days, I spent learning the environments, vagrant, npm and understanding my bug.
This was the bug I decided to work on.
https://github.com/mozilla/thimble.mozilla.org/issues/1630.
This issue addressing the ability to insert code snippets into files.
i.e.
For example, when editing HTML, it might be nice to have a dropdown that lets users add…
- A bulleted list with a few blank items
- A small form
- An empty HTML comment
- A definition list
- An empty table…
We could have different snippets depending on the type of file being edited.
For this issue I decided to split it into 2 parts:
- Bramble Side of things (Functionality)
- Thimble Side of things(UI)
So far I’ve gotten the Bramble Side of things working. In addition, I’ve submitted a pull request and gotten it successfully merged.

To get that part of the code working I got helpful advice from Luke Pacholski, David Humphrey, Gideon Thomas. However, it took me a while to fully understand the flow of the program and how to get things working.
After debugging the code I ended with a working solution:
After getting this far, I’m now about to undertake part 2 of this bug/issue.
Stay tuned for the next release!
