Managing Multiple Snippets File for Different Languages

You can use the command snipr config <path> to change the Snippets File on Runtime.

Note: This is quite useful when you want to manage different Snippets File for different languages.

Location of Config Path

The DEFAULT_CONFIG_PATH is ~/.config/nvim/snippets/rust/rust.json as set on src/constants.rs and is used during the build process,

but you can change it by setting the SNIP_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
