Createsnippet¶

The createsnippet command allows users to add new reusable content to the server's snippet library. You can create a direct snippet by providing a name and content, or you can create an alias by providing the name of an existing snippet as the content.

Syntax¶

The createsnippet command is available as a prefix command:

Prefix Command:

$createsnippet <name> <content>
$cs <name> <content>

Aliases:

You can also use these aliases instead of createsnippet:

• cs

Parameters¶

Usage Examples¶

Create a New Snippet¶

Save a text response for quick use.

$createsnippet hello Hello! Welcome to our server's community.

Create a Code Snippet¶

Save a block of code with Markdown formatting.

$createsnippet example ```python\nprint('Hello World')\n```

Create an Alias¶

Create a shortcut h for the hello snippet.

$createsnippet h hello

Constraints¶

• Names: Must be alphanumeric (can include dashes) and follow the server's length limits
• Uniqueness: Snippet names must be unique within the server
• Alias creation: If the content exactly matches an existing snippet's name, an alias pointing to that snippet is automatically created instead of a new snippet
• Permissions: Your ability to create snippets may be restricted based on server configuration (check with $snippetinfo or ask a moderator)

Error Handling¶

Name Already Exists¶

When it occurs: If you try to create a snippet with a name that is already in use.

What happens: The bot sends an error message indicating the name is taken.

Solutions:

• Choose a different name for your snippet
• Use $snippets to check existing snippet names
• If you own the existing snippet, use $editsnippet to modify it instead

• $editsnippet - Modify an existing snippet's content
• $snippets - Browse all snippets to check for name conflicts
