for macOS
Ctrl+Alt+S
Use this dialog to create and edit expressions for variables in the selected live template.
Controls
Item | Description |
---|---|
Name | In this field, view or edit the variable name in the format |
Expression | In this field, specify the expression to have the value of the corresponding template input field calculated automatically. This expression may contain constructs of the following basic types:
Type an expression manually or select a predefined function from the list. The list shows also the number and type of parameters, if any, for the selected function. The available functions are listed alphabetically in the Functions table. |
Default value | In this field, specify the default string to be entered in the corresponding input field of the expanded template, if the expression does not give any result after calculation. Note that a default value of a variable is an expression that can refer to other live template variables. To define the default value as a literal, enclose it in quotation marks. |
Skip if defined | Select this checkbox to have GoLand proceed with the next input field, if the value of the current input field is defined. |
Move Up / Move Down | Use these buttons to change the order of variables in the list. The order of variables in the table determines the order in which GoLand will switch between the corresponding input fields when the template is expanded. |
Predefined Functions to Use in Live Template Variables
Item | Description |
---|---|
blockCommentEnd | Returns the characters that indicate the end of a block comment in the current language context. |

capitalize(String) | Capitalizes the first letter of the parameter. |
capitalizeAndUnderscore(sCamelCaseName) | Capitalizes all the letters of a CamelCase name passed as the parameter, and inserts an underscore between the parts. For example, |
classNameComplete() | This expression substitutes for the type name completion at the variable position. |
clipboard() | Returns the contents of the system clipboard. |
commentEnd() | Returns the characters that indicate the end of a comment in the current language context. The return value is empty if line comments are defined in the current language. |
commentStart() | Returns the characters that indicate the start of a comment in the current language context. If line comments are defined in the current language, their start indicator is preferable. |
complete() | Invokes code completion at the position of the variable. |
completeSmart() | Invokes smart type completion at the position of the variable. |
concat(expressions...) | Returns a concatenation of all the strings passed to the function as parameters. |

decapitalize(sName) | Replaces the first letter of the parameter with the corresponding lowercase letter. |
defaultReturnValues | Returns the default value if the expression is used in the return statement. Uses the |
enum(sCompletionString1,sCompletionString2,...) | Returns a list of comma-separated strings suggested for completion when the template is expanded. |
errorVariable() | Returns the first error variable in the current context. Autocompletes all error variables in the current context. |

escapeString(sEscapeString) | Escapes the string specified as the parameter. |
fieldName() | Returns the first field name in the current context. Autocompletes all field names in the current context. |

jsMethodName() | Returns the name of the current JavaScript method. |
jsQualifiedClassName() | Returns the complete name of the current JavaScript class. |
jsSuggestIndexName() | Returns a suggested name for an index variable from most commonly used ones: |
jsSuggestVariableName() | Returns the suggested name for a variable based on its variable type and initializer expression, according to your code style settings that refer to the variable naming rules. |
jsSuggestDefaultVariableKind(Boolean) | The Boolean parameter determines whether constants are allowed or not in the current context. If no parameter is specified, constants are allowed. When the templates expands, a list is shown with |
jsSuggestImportedEntityName() | Suggests the name for import statements of the type |
lineCommentStart | Returns the characters that indicate the start of a line comment in the current language context. |
lineNumber() | Returns the current line number. |
lowercaseAndDash(String) | Converts a camelCase string into lower case and inserts n-dashes as separators. For example, |
nonBlankVariable | Receives a list of expressions as input and returns the first expression that is not empty |
regularExpression(String, Pattern, Replacement) | Find all occurrences of |
snakeCase(String) | Converts a string into snake_case. For example, |
spaceSeparated(String) | Converts a string into lowercase and inserts spaces as separators. For example, |
substringBefore(String,Delimiter) | Removes the extension after the specified delimiter and returns only the filename. This is helpful for test file names (for example, |
time(sSystemTime) | Returns the current system time in the specified format. Without a parameter, the current time is returned in the default system format. To use a different format, provide a parameter according to the SimpleDateFormat specification. For example, the function |
underscoresToCamelCase(String) | Replaces underscores with camelCase letters in the string passed as the parameter. For example, |
