- Namespace vs file path analyzer and code fix
- Scaffold xunit data driven tests
- Settings page (ability to enable/disable individual features)
- Analyze if type name matches file name
Add constructor and initialize field
Ctrl+. on a field and choose Add constructor and initialize field.
Add/Remove braces
Allows you to quickly add missing braces to single statements:
It works both ways and allows you to remove braces if you prefer so.
Change access modifier on type declarations
Ctrl+. on a type declaration (either top level or nested) and choose one of proposed options.
Field can be made readonly
Suggest to declare a field as readonly if it's possible:
VS 2017 version 15.7 and above provide a built-in analyzer and a code fix.
Generate GUID (nguid)
Just type nguid where you want the new GUID to be inserted:
and press TAB:
Initialize field from constructor parameter
Ctrl+. on a constructor parameter and choose Add initialized field.
Initialize field in existing constructor
Ctrl+. on a field and choose Initialize field in existing constructor.
Locate in Solution Explorer (Shift+Alt+L)
There is a standard command in Solution Explorer called 'Sync with Active Document'. People coming from ReSharper will appreciate its Shift+Alt+L equivalent.
The command is available in the code editor either from the context menu or as a shortcut.
Make it a constructor (when copied from another class)
Sometimes you copy code from another class into a new one and this quick fix allows you to update the constructor name.
Namespace vs file path analyzer and code fix
Analyze if a top level namespace does not match the path of the file where it is declared or does not start with the project's default namespace.
Note that the code fix currently does not update references.
Scaffold xunit data driven tests
If you're a fan of Xunit data driven tests this one's going to be a little time saver for you. You can scaffold MemberData:
As well as InlineData:
If your InlineData contains acceptable parameters they will be respected unless the test method already defines parameters (in which case neither of the scaffolding refactoring will work).
Note that this feature works with Xunit 2.x only.
Settings page (ability to enable/disable individual features)
All features can be individually enabled or disabled.
Analyze if type name matches file name
Analyzes if a top level type name matches the name of the file where it is declared and displays a warning if not.
Visual Studio 2017 and above provide code refactorings to rename types and file names to match each other out of the box.
