30-seconds-of-code: Snippets in UltiSnips format

[sQVe]

I found this awesome project today and instantly wanted to _"install"_ it to use as snippets in Vim. I couldn't find it anywhere so I wrote a parser and created a repository here: 30-seconds-of-code-ultisnips.

If it should live somewhere else, please do tell me. I initially planned to make a PR to the other texteditor repository, but I wanted to include a parser to try to keep the snippets as up-to-date as possible.

I like this idea. However, maintainance is usually an issue with companion repositories - hopefully you can set it up in such a way that the repository auto-updates.

I think it can reside where it is right now, if we somehow decide to integrate the format into our own release flow, I will inform you right away!

@Chalarangelo Yeah, I get that. I have no problem with it residing at its' current home, I just wanted to let you guys know about it and let you decide. I'd love to somehow setup some kind of CI build that would update the repository automatically but I currently do not have time for that.

I'll try to keep it as up-to-date as possible and might also expand into other snippet formats, if I see a need. Another little side note is that I'm working on a CLI app for the 30 seconds snippets too (I'm a Arch Linux terminal junkie).

@sQVe I'd love to see that in action, send us a message (or comment on this issue) when it's done!

@Chalarangelo Will do. I got pretty far today. Searching (generating index by id for sorting) and displaying works nicely. Just have to make it more customizable with options.

This is currently what it looks like:

@Chalarangelo Project is moving forward, but slowly. One issue I'm having is that I rely on adding this repository as a submodule to get the snippet_data. I would prefer to import this from the npm module. Would it be possible to remove the exclusion of snippet_data from .npmignore?

All MVP features are in place; fuzzy search, view, and view by tag.

@Chalarangelo First release is now out. I've made a little notice here: https://github.com/30-seconds/30-seconds-of-code/issues/837. You can find the repo at: 30s

@Chalarangelo I've now added CI to the UltiSnips repo which runs a cron to update daily. This should keep the repositories in sync good enough.

I will probably expand the UltiSnips repository to include parsers for VSCode, Atom and Sublime. Time is the only issue.
