FileMaker Alfred Snippets

Alfred snippets for common Claris FileMaker functions and syntax patterns.

What is this?

This repository provides a collection of Alfred snippets designed specifically for Claris FileMaker developers. It allows you to quickly insert common FileMaker calculation functions, SQL syntax, JSON patterns, and more, directly into the FileMaker calculation dialog or any code editor.

Who is it for?

Claris FileMaker developers using macOS and the Alfred productivity app (with the Powerpack enabled) who want to speed up their workflow by typing short triggers instead of writing out full function names or syntax.

Installation

1. Download the FileMaker_Functions.alfredsnippets file from this repository.
2. Double-click the file to import it into Alfred.
3. Ensure the Snippets feature is enabled in Alfred's preferences.

For more detailed instructions, see INSTALL.md.

• ;fmlet → Inserts a Let ( [] ; ) statement.

• ;fmjsonset → Inserts JSONSetElement ( json ; keyOrIndexOrPath ; value ; type ).
• ;fmsql → Inserts ExecuteSQL ( sqlQuery ; fieldSeparator ; rowSeparator {; arguments...} ).
