Installing VSCode Snippets from Market

[bennypowers]

Hello!

So, let's say I:

require 'luasnip.loaders.from_vscode'.lazy_load { paths = {
  -- Path to the built project, perhaps in your `node_modules`
  "~/Developer/my-vscode-snippets-package/"
} }

Ok, fine, works locally, but requires me to manually download the snippets package, build it, and keep track of which dir it's in.

Is it possible to rather install vscode snippets by marketplace url, and have luasnip download and install it in ~/.local?

Well, doing that is potentially illegal (microsoft/vscode#31168) besides that it will be hard to do without adding several dependencies because nvim and lua don't have built-in HTTP client nor a zip file extractor.

Thanks for the answer!
