Change signature

1. Click a method/function name that you want to refactor.

2. Press CtrlF6. Alternatively, select Refactor | Change Signature from the main menu or from the context menu.

3. In the Change Signature dialog, make the necessary changes to the method/function signature depending on your needs:

   • Change the method/function name. To change the name, edit the text in the Name field.

   • Manage the method/function parameters. To configure the parameters, use the table and the buttons in the Parameters area:

     • To add a new parameter, click and specify the properties of the new parameter in the corresponding table row.

     • To remove a parameter, select any row and click .

     • To reorder the parameters, use the Up () and Down () icons.

     • Reuse types simplifies the process of declaring multiple variables of the same type. When you enable this option, the IDE automatically groups variables of the same type together in your declaration.

       For example, instead of firstName string, lastName string, age int, id int, the IDE will transform the code to firstName, lastName string, age, id int.

     • To change the name or the default value of a parameter, make the necessary updates in the table of parameters (in the fields Name and Default value respectively).

4. Click Refactor.
