Generate code

GoLand provides multiple ways to generate common code constructs and recurring elements, which helps you increase productivity. These can be either file templates used when creating a new file, custom or predefined live templates that are applied differently based on the context, various wrappers, or automatic pairing of characters.

From the main menu, select Code | Generate Alt+Insert to open the popup menu with available constructs that you can generate.

This chapter includes an overview of the following features that you can use to generate code:

• Using the Generate action

• Using Live templates
