How do I integrate custom snippets into my Laravel 11 project

1. Open VS Code and create a new extension:
- Press `Ctrl+Shift+P` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd+Shift+P` (Mac) to open the Command Palette.
- Type "Create New Extension" and select it from the list.
- Choose a name for your extension, for example, "Laravel 11 Snippets".

2. Define your snippets:
- In the generated extension folder, open the `package.json` file.
- Look for the `contributes.snippets` section and add your custom snippets. Here's an example of a snippet for a Laravel 11 controller:

json
     "contributes": {
         "snippets": [
             {
                 "language": "php",
                 "path": "./snippets/snippets.json"
             }
         ]
     }
     

- Create a new file called `snippets.json` in the `snippets` directory.
- Define your snippets in the `snippets.json` file. For example:

json
     {
         "Laravel 11 Controller": {
             "prefix": "laravel11-controller",
             "body": [
                 "<?php",
                 "",
                 "namespace App\\Http\\Controllers;",
                 "",
                 "use Illuminate\\Http\\Request;",
                 "",
                 "class ${1:ControllerName} extends Controller",
                 "{",
                 "    /**",
                 "     * Display a listing of the resource.",
                 "     *",
                 "     * @return \\Illuminate\\Http\\Response",
                 "     */",
                 "    public function index()",
                 "    {",
                 "        //",
                 "    }",
                 "",
                 "    // Add more methods as needed...",
                 "}"
             ],
             "description": "Create a new Laravel 11 controller class"
         }
     }
     

3. Package your extension:
- Open the Command Palette and type "Package Extension".
- VS Code will create a VSIX file containing your extension.

4. Install your extension in your Laravel 11 project:
- Open your Laravel 11 project in VS Code.
- Go to the Extensions view (`Ctrl+Shift+X` or `Cmd+Shift+X`).
- Click on the three-dot menu in the top right corner and select "Install from VSIX".
- Choose the VSIX file you created in the previous step.

Now, your custom Laravel 11 snippets will be available in your project. You can trigger them by typing the specified prefix (e.g., `laravel11-controller`) and pressing `Tab`.

By creating a custom snippets extension, you can easily share your snippets with other developers working on your Laravel 11 project or even publish it to the Visual Studio Code Marketplace for others to use.
