Most of my personal projects are deployed via kubernetes. I write a lot of
*deployment.yaml* files. In order to keep them clean and checked in to version control
I keep sensitive env variables in a config maps. Problem is adding values env values to 
*deployment.yaml* files is pretty painful. This makes it a little less. 

placed in *yaml.json* 😀 what a file name!

```json
{
	"env var from configmap": {
		"prefix": "env",
		"body": [
			"- name: $1",
			"  valueFrom:",
			"    configMapKeyRef:",
			"      key: $1",
			"      name: configmapname"
		],
		"description": "env varable from config map, remember to replace configmapname with your configmap name"
	}
}
```
