Is it possible to use emmet's lorem in javascript's strings?

Question

I'd like emmet to help me with this:

const str = 'lorem5|TAB'; --> const str = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.';

| cursor position

TAB hitting tab

Is it possible in VSCode? It works for me only with jsx and html.

Answer 1

You can but there are probably better ways to do this (such as dedicated extensions)

---

To use emmet, just enable emmet in *.js files by setting:

"emmet.includeLanguages": {
    "javascript": "javascriptreact"
}

Now the lorem abbreivation will work:

And if you have "emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true set, then you can hit tab to expand the text.

However Emmet completions will not show up for the case you showed: the string "lorem5". The reason is that emmet sees the closing " immediately after the abbreviation so it decides not to return any completions. Instead, you have to use the Emmet: Expand Abbreviation command (which is bound to tab by default) to force emmet to expand lorem5:
