Visual Studio Code User-Snippets Variables

With $name or ${name:default}, you can insert the value of a variable. 
When a variable isnt set, its default or the empty string is inserted. 
When a variable is unknown (that is, its name isnt defined) 
the name of the variable is inserted and it is transformed into a placeholder.

The following variables can be used:

    TM_SELECTED_TEXT The currently selected text or the empty string
    TM_CURRENT_LINE The contents of the current line
    TM_CURRENT_WORD The contents of the word under cursor or the empty string
    TM_LINE_INDEX The zero-index based line number
    TM_LINE_NUMBER The one-index based line number
    TM_FILENAME The filename of the current document
    TM_FILENAME_BASE The filename of the current document without its extensions
    TM_DIRECTORY The directory of the current document
    TM_FILEPATH The full file path of the current document
    RELATIVE_FILEPATH The relative (to the opened workspace or folder) file path of the current document
    CLIPBOARD The contents of your clipboard
    WORKSPACE_NAME The name of the opened workspace or folder
    WORKSPACE_FOLDER The path of the opened workspace or folder
    CURSOR_INDEX The zero-index based cursor number
    CURSOR_NUMBER The one-index based cursor number

For inserting the current date and time:

    CURRENT_YEAR The current year
    CURRENT_YEAR_SHORT The current year's last two digits
    CURRENT_MONTH The month as two digits (example '02')
    CURRENT_MONTH_NAME The full name of the month (example 'July')
    CURRENT_MONTH_NAME_SHORT The short name of the month (example 'Jul')
    CURRENT_DATE The day of the month as two digits (example '08')
    CURRENT_DAY_NAME The name of day (example 'Monday')
    CURRENT_DAY_NAME_SHORT The short name of the day (example 'Mon')
    CURRENT_HOUR The current hour in 24-hour clock format
    CURRENT_MINUTE The current minute as two digits
    CURRENT_SECOND The current second as two digits
    CURRENT_SECONDS_UNIX The number of seconds since the Unix epoch

For inserting random values:

    RANDOM 6 random Base-10 digits
    RANDOM_HEX 6 random Base-16 digits
    UUID A Version 4 UUID

For inserting line or block comments, honoring the current language:

    BLOCK_COMMENT_START Example output: in PHP /* or in HTML <!--
    BLOCK_COMMENT_END Example output: in PHP */ or in HTML -->
    LINE_COMMENT Example output: in PHP //

how to make snippets vscode

Comment

Hit > shift + command + p and type snippets
Select Preferences: Open User Snippets
Choose the language type for which you want to add the custom snippet
vscode has comments to explain on how to add a snippet, as described on :> vsdoc
Lets say, we want to open custom snippets for the language GO. Then we can do:

Hit > command + p
Type: go.json + enter And you land on the custom snippet page
Snippets are defined in a JSON format and stored in a per user (languageId).json file. For example, Markdown snippets go in a markdown.json file.

Update new tools:
Snippet generator site: https://snippet-generator.app/

{
  // Place your global snippets here. Each snippet is defined under a snippet name and has a scope, prefix, body and
  // description. Add comma separated ids of the languages where the snippet is applicable in the scope field. If scope
  // is left empty or omitted, the snippet gets applied to all languages. The prefix is what is
  // used to trigger the snippet and the body will be expanded and inserted. Possible variables are:
  // $1, $2 for tab stops, $0 for the final cursor position, and ${1:label}, ${2:another} for placeholders.
  // Placeholders with the same ids are connected.
  // Example:
  "Styles.ts Boiler": {
    "scope": "javascript,typescript",
    "prefix": "sty",
    "body": [
      "import { makeStyles } from 'tss-react/mui'",

      "const useStyles = makeStyles()(() => ({",
      "root: {}",
      "}))",

      "export default useStyles"
    ],
    "description": "styles.ts boilerplate code"
  }
}
