The non-bundle version of YASnippet, once unpacked, comes with a full directory of snippets, which you can copy somewhere and use. You can also create or download more directories.
-Once these directories are in place reference them in the variable -yas/root-directory and load them with yas/load-directory:
-;; Develop and keep personal snippets under ~/emacs.d/mysnippets
-(setq yas/root-directory "~/emacs.d/mysnippets")
-;; Load the snippets
-(yas/load-directory yas/root-directory)
-The point in using yas/root-directory (as opposed to calling -yas/load-directory directly) is considering "~/emacs.d/mysnippets" -for snippet development, so you can use commands like -yas/new-snippet and others described in section Writing -Snippets.
-You can make this variable a list and store more items into it:
-;; Develop in ~/emacs.d/mysnippets, but also
-;; try out snippets in ~/Downloads/interesting-snippets
-(setq yas/root-directory '("~/emacs.d/mysnippets"
- "~/Downloads/interesting-snippets"))
+
+ Once these directories are in place reference them in the variable
+
+ yas-snippet-dirs
+
+ and then load YASnippet as usual:
+
-;; Map `yas/load-directory' to every element
-(mapc 'yas/load-directory yas/root-directory)
+
+ ;; Develop and keep personal snippets under ~/emacs.d/mysnippets
+(setq yas-snippet-dirs '("~/emacs.d/mysnippets"))
+
+;; Load yasnippet
+(yas-global-mode 1)
-In this last example, the all the directories are loaded and their
-snippets considered for expansion. However development still happens
-in the first element, "~/emacs.d/mysnippets".
