Inline

WebStorm 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 Function/Method refactoring results in placing the method's or function's body into the body of its caller(s); the method or function is deleted. This refactoring is opposite Extract Method.

Inline Variable

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

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; }`

To perform the 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 Refactor | Inline.
