    How VSCODE snipets are formated:

    {
        "For_Loop": {
            "prefix": "for",
            "body": [
            "for (const ${2:element} of ${1:array}) {",
            "\t$0",
            "}"
            ],
            "description": "For Loop"
        },
    }

    For Loop 
        is the snippet name.
    prefix 
        defines how this snippet is selected from 
        IntelliSense and tab completion. In this case for.
    body 
        is the content and either a single string or 
        an array of strings of which each element will be 
        inserted as separate line.
    description 
        is the description used in the IntelliSense drop down.
