Please add feature for generate stuff like in java.

[Chris2011]

In Java you have the feature what you can see it here:

where you can generate a ctor, getter and setter from private fields and much more. This would be very handy, maybe in the same context as you can see it in the image or with the hint functionality of netbeans.

+1 it will be a very good feature and Webstorm can already do that.

[Chris2011]

Please vote for it here. In the upper corner there is the smiley and give them a thumb up. +1 is not really noticeable. thx :)

[idarous]

That's done.

"Quick fix" functionality like this is something that belongs in the TypeScript language service, so that all plugins based on that could use it.

See: microsoft/TypeScript#6943

[Chris2011]

But this issue has nothing todo with quick fix. This is to related to generate the ctor or Getter and Setter and add overrides etc.

I'm pretty sure that this feature would be covered by a Quick Fix. Here are some of Eclipse's Quick Fix resources:

What is a Quick Fix?

Whenever it detects an error, the Java editor highlights the error using a wavy red line under the offending code and a marker in the left editor margin. [...] The marker can be selected with the left mouse to activate the Quick Fix pop-up, indicating actions that can be undertaken to repair the error.

[...]

Quick Fixes can be used to add fields to classes, add parameters to methods, help with unhandled exceptions, and generate local variable declarations. Quick Fixes are designed to allow you to continue the creative process of designing API while using it, a major component of Extreme Programming.

How do I implement Quick Fixes for my own language? gives a bit more context for Quick Fixes. It looks like they are useful for a broad range of functionality—implementing constructors, getters, and setters seems to be best handled as a Quick Fix.

Quick Fix functionality is already on TypeScript's road map. After they implement it, NBTS will present all of their suggested fixes automatically. At that time, any Quick Fix enhancements should be directed to Microsoft/TypeScript, so that all TypeScript IDE plugins can use them.

[Chris2011]

Ok, big thx for the explanation.

I've read this thread with attention and as I understand NBTS is waiting quick fixes are added to TypeScript. However, https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2018/07/30/announcing-typescript-3-0/#remove-bogus-code says that quick fixes were added NOTE for Quick fixes for unreachable code and unused labels. It doesn't say about code generation and after reading TypeScript road map I don't see there any mentions about quick fix.

Could anyone say what are plans of NBTS team about code generation? I am asking because adding at least setters and getters will save A LOT OF TIME AND NERVES of developers.

[Chris2011]

Afaik, the developers of NBTS is not willing to implement stuff, which is not implemented into the LS of TypeScript. Unfortunately.

@Chris2011 For now I asked this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52831048/how-to-add-custom-code-generation-in-netbeans-9-0 maybe I will get some information. I hope this can be done as separate plugin. Unfortunately I never developed anything for NB and don't know its architecture, but I need setters/getters very much.

[Chris2011]

@PashaTurok If this is not possible with a 3rd-party-plugin it would be nice, if you can create a JIRA Ticket for NetBeans and try to creating a PR. So I mean to implement it into the core of NetBeans. For this, you can have a look into the Java code, maybe PHP can handle this too.

[PavelTurk]

@Chris2011 I got information here https://platform.netbeans.org/tutorials/nbm-code-generator.html is full tutorial how to make code generation. If you have time, you can try to implement generation for TS.

[Chris2011]

@PashaTurok me yes, or maybe you ;)
