C#

Optimize 'using' directives

• Removes unused namespace import directives by implementing the rules that you can configure on the Code Editing | C# | Namespace Imports page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O)

C#

Remove code redundancies

On the Code Inspection | Inspection Severity page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O), in the Redundancies in Code categories of most languages, ReSharper lists dozens of cases that have associated code inspections. Some of them require special attention, and you cannot process them in the batch mode, but most of them can be fixed automatically whenever you select Remove code redundancies in your cleanup profile.

Use auto-property, if possible

Replaces simple properties and corresponding backing fields with auto-properties. For more information, see Use auto-properties.

Make field read-only, if possible

Adds the readonly keyword to fields that are assigned in the declaration or in a constructor and only have read usages. For more information, see Make fields readonly.

Make auto-property get-only, if possible

Removes the redundant set accessor on auto-properties that are initialized from the constructor/initializer and have no write usages.

By default, ReSharper automatically detects C# version based on the associated compiler. However, you can specify the target C# version explicitly for a project — right-click the project in the Solution Explorer, choose Edit project item properties from the context menu and use the C# Language Level selector .

To set the C# version for all projects in your solution, specify it in a Directory.Build.props file in your solution directory as described here.

JavaScript/TypeScript

Correct 'var' to 'let'/'const' where possible

let and const are supported in the following cases:

• In JavaScript code, if the target JavaScript language level is ECMAScript 6 (you can choose it on the Code Editing | JavaScript | Inspections page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O))

• In TypeScript 1.4, if the target ECMAScript 6 is selected in the project properties.

• In TypeScript 1.5 or later.

Move let/const to most possible inner scopes

Moves variables defined outside of a function/compound statement, and so on closer to their usages if there are no other usages in outer scopes.

Convert string concatenations to template strings

In JavaScript code, if the target JavaScript language level is ECMAScript 6 (you can choose it on the Code Editing | JavaScript | Inspections page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O)) , as well as in TypeScript 1.4 or later, this option will convert string concatenations to template strings. For example:

var str1 = "Hello,";
var str2 = "Test: " + str1 + " World1";

will be converted to

const str1 = "Hello, ";
const str2 = `Test: ${str1} World1`;

TypeScript specific

C#

Update file header

Inserts or updates the file header comment that you can configure on the Code Editing | File Header Text page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O) or using the file_header_template EditorConfig property. For more information, see File header style.

C/C++

Update file header

Inserts or updates the file header comment that you can configure on the Code Editing | File Header Text page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O) or using the file_header_template EditorConfig property. For more information, see File header style.

C/C++

Apply Clang-tidy fix-its

In this node, you can choose all or specific fixes that will be applied according to the Clang-Tidy checks.

The selected fixes will be applied even if the corresponding inspections are turned off on the Code Inspection | Inspection Severity page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O). Be careful when enabling too many checks at once — code cleanup runs Clang-Tidy only once for a given file, so if multiple fixes touch the same block of code, the changes might conflict with each other.
