Code Snippets

Snippets provide a way for you to quickly adopt Mince coding patterns and accelerate your development. They are templates for common code structures that help ensure your code is consistent and boilerplate-free.

Using Snippets

To use a snippet, simply type Chop. on a new line in the script editor. This will open a suggestion window with all the available Mince snippets.

A key feature of snippets is that if you select one that requires the Mince framework, Chop will automatically add the require statement for Mince at the top of your script if it doesn’t already exist.

Available Snippets

Chop.Setup

This snippet creates the basic structure for a standard Mince module, including the :Setup() lifecycle method.

Result:

-- Mince import...
 
local Module = {}
 
function Module:Setup()
 
end
 
return Module

Chop.Component

This snippet creates the boilerplate for a new Mince Component, including the :Construct() lifecycle method and a placeholder Tag.

Result:

-- Mince import...
 
local Component = Mince.Component {
	Tag = "TagName"
}
 
function Component:Construct()
	
end
 
return Component
