I’m not sure if this is possible in ST4, I want it to be auto-complete as '' => '' after typing the ' when it’s inside an associative array like the below:
$name = array (
'' => ''
);
Does anyone know how to achieve this?

In theory a thing like this can be done with a key binding that has a very specific context that makes the key only apply in a specific situation. I don’t see any good way to do that in this code snippet though, since the syntax (I am assuming PHP) does not have a specific scope you could target there. In addition even if it did, it would have to be extremely narrowly focused or you would lose the ability to type a single quote at all inside.
A plugin could perhaps be employed to detect such a situation and provide the context needed, but that would be rather heavyweight for a one off.
You could however bind a specific key to insert that text whenever you press it while inside of a PHP file; for example:
{
"keys": ["ctrl+'"], "command": "insert_snippet",
"args": {
"contents": "'$0' -> ''"
},
"context": [
{ "key": "selector", "operator": "equal", "operand": "embedding.php" },
],
},
