Members Declaration
- 2 minutes to read
Templates library includes multiple templates for quick member declaration. These templates are available when the caret is inside a class body, but outside methods and properties. Most member declaration templates are complex and consist of two parts — the kind of member and its type. The table below shows examples of member declaration templates.
| Member Kind | void | Boolean | Integer | Double | String | Object |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Method | m | mb | mi | md | ms | mo |
| Property | — | pb | pi | pd | ps | po |
| Auto-implemented Property | — | ab | ai | ad | as | ao |
| Field | — | fb | fi | fd | fs | fo |
The full list of member declaration templates is available in the code templates configuration options.
NOTE
If you need to force the creation of a static member, Uppercase the first letter of the required template. For example, the "Ms" template creates the static method that returns a string.
