Hi Fullstack Friends!

This gist will walk you through installing snippets I have created to help you work faster and more efficiently in Express!

This gist is specifically for Visual Studio Code Users
--- Installation Instructions ---
1. Go to Code -> Preferences -> User Snippets
2. Select JavaScript
2. Copy all the code below the {COPY CODE BELOW HERE} line
3. Paste it below the final comment
4. Open a .js file and test the snippets using something like aget and then cycling through tab!


VSC uses cson json for writing snippets - you can read more about it here:
