Snippet with function name

Question

I want to add user code snippet and I want to have the function name in it, something like this:

{
    "Print to console": {
        "prefix": "clog",
        "body": [
            "console.log('CONSOLE', '$FUNC_NAME$', $1);"
        ],
        "description": "Log to console"
     }
}

I can't find how to get the function name in VSCode snippets.

Any help?

Would this be printed anywhere n the function or predictably right after the function declaration? If the later there might be a way to do it. What language are you using? There is no built-in way to do this. Perhaps an extension could do the function lookup. — Mark

You'll need to write an extension to do this. VS Code's user snippets cannot access program structure information, such as class or function names.

Check out the completions extension sample to get started.
