Language-Agnostic Logger Snippet

[babucarr32]

A simple bash script that wraps selected text with the appropriate logging statement based on file extension.

Features

• Automatically detects file type and uses the correct logging syntax
• Supports: JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Java, C#, C/C++
• Works with Helix's :pipe command
• Easy to extend with additional languages

Usage

1. Select a variable name (e.g., username)
2. Press Ctrl+l
3. The selection is replaced with the appropriate log statement:
   • .js → console.log(username);
   • .py → print(username)
   • .go → fmt.Println(username)
   • .rs → println!("{:?}", username);
   • And more...

Extending

Simply add new cases to the case statement in the script for additional language support.
