AL snippets


Code snippets are pieces or small template of codes that can be recycled and reused through the intellisense feature for fast application coding. These are typically used to rapidly create

  • Object structure definition (for example, a table, field, page, report, xmlport, and so on)
  • Looping statements (for example, for, repeat until, while, and so on)

AL Snippets come with the prefix t, followed by a meaningful name. To show them up, go to the HelloWorld.al, hit return at the end of Message(…), and type t. Intellisense will show up a list for the current standard code snippets dispatched with AL Extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.

You can practice yourself by choosing some of them and populating the relevant placeholders to create a meaningful script. 

You can see from this table a list of the standard snippets. This standard list can be extended in future updates and enhanced for AL Extension:
