The nexter/toggle-snippet ability enables or disables a Nexter Extension code snippet by its ID. Pass the snippet ID and an optional status value (1 for active, 0 for inactive). If you omit status, the ability flips the current state. Use nexter/list-snippets to find the snippet ID first.

Key Takeaways

The id parameter is required and is a string.

The status parameter uses integers: 1 for active, 0 for inactive.

When status is omitted, the ability flips the snippet’s current active state.

Disabling a snippet stops it from running without deleting its code or settings.

This ability ships with Nexter Extension (Free). If you do not have it installed, follow the guide on how to install and activate Nexter Extension first.

Parameters

**id** (string, required) is the unique identifier of the snippet to toggle.

**status** (integer, optional) sets the target state. Use 1 for active and 0 for inactive. Omit to flip the current state.
