local {{_variable_}}

{{_cursor_}}

return {{_variable_}}

use Template test.lua var=template <TAB> then it will auto fill template name nvim_temp if there only has one lua template file.

local api,fn = vim.api,vim.fn
local template

| -- cursor here

return template

• Work with exist file and custom variable

use Template var=template <TAB>

template.nvim use telescope. so you need register template telescope extension to telescope

require("telescope").load_extension('find_template')
