Extract to Method

You can easily move a code fragment to a separate new method. This is called extract method refactoring. It helps keeping methods shorter and easier to understand.

Select a block of actions and press Ctrl+1, select Extract to method or Extract to TCM from the list of quick assist proposals and press Enter.

A new method is created containing the selected code fragment, and the selection is replaced with a method call.

Note

Any local variables declared prior to the code fragment you extracted become arguments of the newly created method.

Tip

You may change the extracted method name in the edit box, right after the extract action is completed.

Tip

You can also right-click in the editor and go to Refactor > Extract to method or Extract to TCM.
