Global settings

Global blueprints live in the VS Code setting blueprintor.defaultConfig. They are available in every workspace and are marked with 🌐 in the blueprint list.

Setting	Type	Default
blueprintor.defaultConfig	object	{ "blueprints": [] }

The default is an empty list: the extension ships without blueprints. If neither the settings nor blueprintor.config.js define any, running the command shows the error “No blueprints found”.

Where to edit

Open Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON) from the Command Palette and add the setting to settings.json. The setting can also be placed in workspace settings. VS Code offers completion and validation for the fields.

Texts as arrays of lines

settings.json is JSON, which has no multi-line strings. Write the text of a snippet (or of a file’s inline content) as an array of strings: each element is one line, and the lines are joined with a line break.

settings.json

{
    "blueprintor.defaultConfig": {
        "blueprints": [
            {
                "title": "Markdown note",
                "variables": [{ "key": "name", "prompt": "Note title" }],
                "snippets": {
                    "note": ["# {name.pascal}", "", "Write here."],
                },
                "structure": {
                    "files": [
                        { "name": "{name.kebab}.md", "snippet": "note" },
                        { "name": "{name.kebab}.todo.md", "content": ["- [ ] {name.raw}"] },
                    ],
                },
            },
        ],
    },
}

Tip

Need multi-line template literals, shared constants or functions? Use a local config. Fields and placeholders are identical in both sources.

Priority

A local blueprint with the same title overrides the global one. See API reference.
