Inline
PhpStorm provides the following inline refactorings:
The Inline Variable refactoring replaces redundant variable usage with its initializer. This refactoring is opposite to Extract variable.
- The Inline Method refactoring results in placing the method's or function's body into the body of its caller(s). This refactoring is opposite to Extract method. You can opt to:
inline all occurrences of the method, and delete the method,
inline all occurrences of the method, and retain the method,
inline a single occurrence, and retain the method.
Inline Variable
PHP Example
Before | After |
|---|---|
function sum($a, $b)
{
$c = $a + $b;
return $c;
} |
function sum($a, $b)
{
return $a + $b;
} |
JavaScript Example
Before | After |
|---|---|
Parenizor.method('toString', function ()
{
var string = '(' + this.getValue() + ')';
return string;
} |
Parenizor.method('toString', function ()
{
return '(' + this.getValue() + ')';
} |
Inline Method or Function
PHP Example
Before | After |
|---|---|
function log($message)
{
echo $message;
}
log('Message'); |
echo 'Message'; |
JavaScript Example
Before | After |
|---|---|
function sum(a, b){
return a + b;
}
function multiplication(a, b){
c = sum(a, b);
d = c * c;
return d;
}
function division(a, b){
result = sum(a, b) / multiplication(a, b);
return result;
} |
function multiplication(a, b){
c = a + b;
d = c * c;
return d;
}
function division(a, b){
result = a + b / multiplication(a, b);
return result;
} |
Perform inline refactoring
Place the caret in the editor at the desired symbol to be inlined.
- Do one of the following:
On the main menu or on the context menu, choose .
Press Ctrl+Alt+N.
When inlining a variable, confirm the refactoring in the Inline dialog. When inlining a method, specify the inlining options in the Inline Method dialog.
