Postfix Completion

Overview

Postfix code completion lets you transform an already typed expression to another one based on the postfix you type after a dot, the type of the expression, and its context. This transformation is performed by expanding the postfix-specific predefined template.

For example, the .if postfix applied to an expression wraps it with an if statement.

Before	After
function m(arg) { arg.if }	function m(arg) { if (arg) { } }
