Code Snippet

Definitions

1. A small reusable fragment of code, often shared in documentation, templates, chat, or editor tooling to illustrate or insert a common pattern quickly. Snippets are useful for speed, but developers still need to understand and adapt them to the actual context rather than pasting blindly.

   In plain English: A small piece of code that can be reused or shown as an example.

   Example: "The editor shipped with a code snippet for the standard HTTP handler scaffold, which saved typing and kept the route wiring consistent."
