IntelliJ Live Template: modified setters template

code-templates, intellij-idea, java

Solution

Something like this

private $TYPE$ $NAME$;
public $THIS$ set$BNAME$($TYPE$ $NAME$) {
    this.$NAME$ = $NAME$;
    return this;
}

where

Type = complete()
NAME = suggestVariableName()
BNAME = capitalize(NAME)
THIS = className()

The only Problem ist that className will not work in nested classes as it will return "Outer$Inner" but it should work good enough.

Problem

Is anyone know how to set up a live template in intellij for doing specialized setters - i'm using v5, but I accept with pleasure knowledge for a more recent release) - My first need is a firePropertyChange setter: ``` public final static String $PROPERTY$ = "$property$" public void set$Property$($TYPE$ $property$) { Object oldValue = this.$property$; this.$property$ = $property$; firePropertyChange($PROPERTY$, oldValue, $property$); } ``` I have a semi-working version that generate the implementation with variables defined like this: $property$ --> completeSmart() $PROPERTY$ --> completeSmart() My second need is a builder style setter that call the regular setter and then return this after the set: ``` public $THIS_TYPE$ with$Property$($TYPE$ $property$) { set$Property$($property$); return this; } ``` For this one I have nothing really good: I still have to type a lot ! Any suggestion ?
