Customizable Templates for New Objects

[Frank-Geisler]

Hi!

I think it would be a good idea to have Customizable Templates for new objects

• Allow users to define reusable templates/snippets for database objects.

• The snippet functionality of VSCode/Azure Data Studio could be used

• Users would be prompted to fill in the placeholders when the template is loaded.

• Example use case:

  • A predefined table creation script where users only need to input column details.
  • this would speed up development of databases

To make things more clear I will describe this in further detail

When creating a new object in Database Projects (e.g. a table) it would be awesome if the text that is filled into the new object would be customizable and it would even be better if we could use a template/snippet here. To explain further: When you create an asset like this:

It should be possible to customize this

So that there would be a user defined snippet that only has to be filled out like this:

It would also be cool if this list

would be extensible.

Thank you and have a nice day
