GoLand 2018.1 Help

Save File as Template Dialog

GoLand helps you create the file templates from the existing files.

ItemDescription
NameSpecify here the name under which the new template will appear in the Files tab of the File and Code Templates settings. By default, the name of the current file is used.
ExtensionSpecify here the extension of the file to be created by this new template. By default, the extension of the current file is used.
Template textEdit the template contents. You can use:
  • Plain text.
  • #parse directives to work with template includes.
  • Custom variables. Variables' names can be defined either directly in the template through the #set directive or during the file creation.

    Note that GoLand doesn't prompt for the values of Velocity variables defined with #set.

  • Variables to be expanded into corresponding values in the ${<variable_name>} format.

    Treating dollar sign

    • You can prevent treating dollar characters ($) in template variables as prefixes. If you need a dollar character ($ inserted as is, use the ${DS} file template variable instead. When the template is applied, this variable evaluates to a plain dollar character ($).

      Examples:

      • To use some version control keywords (such as $Revision$, $Date$, etc.) in your default class template, write ${DS} instead of the dollar prefix ($).
      • The template code ${DS}this will be rendered as $this.
Reformat according to styleSelect this checkbox, to have GoLand reformat generated stub files according to the style defined on the Code Style page.

This option is only available in the Files tab.

Enable Live TemplatesSelect this checkbox to use a live template inside a file template. So doing, one has to put the live template fragments into Velocity escape syntax.

For example:

#[[ $MY_VARIABLE$ $END$ ]]#

Thus, one can specify the cursor position. Note that it is required to use the live template variables here!

DescriptionThis read-only field provides information about the template, its predefined variables, and the way they work.
