This plugin expands shorthand for setter method calls or assignment statements, so you don't have to write them manually.
Within an IntelliJ IDEA editor, just press Ctrl + Alt + ; or ⌘ + ⌥ + ; on the line with the expression.
It also adds a Gensett: Setters/assignments to the Generate menu when the plugin is installed.
See it in action below
Install the plugin from the Plugin Marketplace; search for Gensett.
Alternatively, you can download the JAR here.
Install it by going to the Settings > Plugins > Install Plugin from Disk...
The shorthand is written as a comment with the object instance name and the fields you want the setter/assignment statements generated for.
// <obj>:<fields>- Expands to Setter method calls// set:<obj>:<fields>- Expands to Setter method calls// setf:<obj>:<fields>- Expands to assignment statements on an object
public class Main {
public static void main(String... args) {
Person person = new Person();
// person:firstName,lastName
// ^ press `Ctrl + Alt + ;` on the line above to get the output below _
person.setFirstName(/* TODO: set it! */);
person.setLastName(/* TODO: set it! */);
// setf:person:age,otherThing
person.age = /* TODO: set it! */;
person.otherThing = /* TODO: set it! */;
// set:person:firstName
person.setFirstName(/* TODO: set it! */);
// person:lastName,middleName
person.setLastName(/* TODO: set it! */);
person.setMiddleName(/* TODO: set it! */);
// Assignment statements on fields
// setf:person:firstName,lastName,middleName
person.firstName = /* TODO: set it! */;
person.lastName = /* TODO: set it! */;
person.middleName = /* TODO: set it! */;
// Set directly on fields with require non null
// setf:person:firstName!, lastName!
person.firstName = Objects.requireNonNull(/* TODO: set it! */, "firstName");
person.lastName = Objects.requireNonNull(/* TODO: set it! */, "lastName");
// Set directly on fields with custom method
// setf:person:middleName*checkNotEmpty
person.middleName = checkNotEmpty(/* TODO: set it! */);
}
}This stuff will be possible in the near future.
public class Person {
private String firstName;
private String maidenName;
private String lastName;
public static void main(String... args) {
Person person = new Person();
// ** Field Inspection **
// When it's smarter, it will know the fields of the class and be
// able to set them all using `*`,
// person:*
person.setFirstName(/* TODO: set it! */);
person.setLastName(/* TODO: set it! */);
person.setMaidenName(/* TODO: set it! */);
// setf:person:*
person.firstName = /* TODO: set it! */;
person.lastName = /* TODO: set it! */;
person.maidenName = /* TODO: set it! */;
// ** Field Inspection with Exclusions **
// also enable exclusions using !<field>
// setf:person:*,!lastName
person.firstName = /* TODO: set it! */;
person.maidenName = /* TODO: set it! */;
}
}- See #1 The plugin currently doesn't read/parse your Java classes, as a result:
- the generated code is based on whatever you type. Watch out for typos :)
- It does not actually know about your object instance or it's type.
- Does not support multi-caret selections
