How to use the code generation and template functions of WebStorm?

WebStorm offers powerful code generation and template functions to enhance development efficiency.

Code Generation

WebStorm can automatically generate boilerplate code such as getters/setters, constructors, and overriding methods.

  • How to Use:
    1. Place the cursor on a class field or method.
    2. Press Alt + Insert (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + N (Mac).
    3. Select the desired code type (e.g., "Getter and Setter").
  • Example: For a class field private String name;, selecting "Getter and Setter" generates:
    public String getName() { return name; }  
    public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; }  
    

Live Templates

Live Templates allow you to insert pre-defined code snippets via shortcuts.

  • How to Use:
    1. Type a shortcut (e.g., sout for System.out.println() in Java).
    2. Press Tab to expand it.
  • Custom Templates: Go to File > Settings > Editor > Live Templates to create your own.
  • Example: Typing iter and pressing Tab in Java generates a for-each loop.

Cloud Integration (Optional)

If you’re deploying code to the cloud, Tencent Cloud’s Code Management & CI/CD tools (e.g., Tencent Cloud CodeCommit or Build) can automate workflows post-development. For example, you can integrate WebStorm with Tencent Cloud’s DevOps services for seamless deployment.
