Extracting Parameter in Groovy
This section discusses the Extract parameter refactoring for Groovy. This refactoring lets you perform the following actions:
Creating a new method parameter from the selected expression within a method. All the usages of the method will be auto-updated.
Adding a parameter to a closure. If there is a variable, associated with the closure, the calls to this variable are replaced with the corresponding expressions.

Examples
Before | After |
---|---|
class Cat {
Cat cat = new Cat()
def makePestOfItself(){
print ("miaou!!!!!!!!")
}
def makeTroubles(){
if (makePest){
makePestOfItself()
}
}
} |
class Cat {
Cat cat = new Cat()
def makePestOfItself(String warning){
print (warning)
}
def makeTroubles(){
if (makePest){
makePestOfItself("miaou!!!!!!!!")
}
}
} |
class Bar {
def foo = {
print 'H<caret here>ello, world!'
}
}
new Bar().foo()
new Bar().foo.call() |
class Bar {
def foo = { String s ->
print s
}
}
new Bar().foo('Hello, world!')
new Bar().foo.call('Hello, world!') |
