[Feature] Snipppets for MVVM toolkit

[erikthysell]

Describe the problem

In order to minimize repetitivity, snippets similar to propfull

Describe the solution

I would love snippets similar to Prism Template Pack

Alternatives

using Prism Template Pack (just for propp which I guess would work, cmd would not since PRISM has the DelegateCommand instead of RelayCommand.)

Wouldn't want to hold back a feature due to future work, but I noticed there are efforts to modernize Snippet related. Might review this first.

With source generators, this now seems unnecessary. Close?

@MisinformedDNA I do not know much about source generators but from what I read here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/roslyn-sdk/source-generators-overview I cannot see how that would make it as nice/easy as a snippet...

@erikthysell Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what I meant either. lol Maybe it was in reference to the reduction of the amount of code needed due to the source generators included in the toolkit such as [ObservableProperty] and [RelayCommand] which reduce the amount of code to a standard field or method with an attribute. So, a snippet could still be useful, but not as useful as before (pre 8.0).

Closing this, as we don't plan on adding snippets for the MVVM Toolkit. As has been mentioned already, we provide source generators to help removing boilerplate and verbosity 🙂
