Managing code resources

With the introduction of the Code Block feature I have began to realise the accumulation of multiple code snippets. I'm wondering whether there are any good tools / methods for managing these resources? In particular, the ability to tag these snippets to indicate where they have been used.

  • I don't have a suggestion, but I think this is a great question. I'd be interested in seeing how others organize this type of information.

    Try out Notion. You can create a free account. Inside you create pages (like folders) and on the page you can create tables/databases to hold your information. It's quick and allows you to categorize you snips. It also has a simple copy from each block that you can use to grab the code when you need it. I'm not paid to refer Notion, it's just a handy tool for me.

  • In my Rise Code Block examples, I'm actually using Rise to not only organize and test the code blocks, but also to store the code in code snippets. I have also created templates for each code block to easily drop into new courses. 

  • Care to share any examples on how to replace the images using RISE libary?

      When searching in the content library, hovering over the bottom of the image produces two links; one to the author of the image and one to the hosting platform. You can locate the image this way. If you Preview it, right-click and choose 'copy image address' this provides the direct URL for the free image. You can use that url in your code.
