Invert Boolean refactoring
ReSharper | Refactor | Invert Boolean…
To assign a shortcut, go to Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard and find the ReSharper_InvertBool
command.
This refactoring allows you to automatically modify a boolean member so that its value is inverted. If you apply this refactoring to a boolean field or a property, ReSharper lets you specify a new name and invert all its usages, that is if you refactor private bool isEnabled;
to private bool isDisabled;
, ReSharper will make sure that, for example, if(isEnabled)
becomes if(!isDisabled)
everywhere.
If you apply this refactoring to a boolean method, ReSharper lets you choose whether to invert its internal logic, usages, or both.
In the example below, we use this refactoring to invert the IsEven
method. We specify a new name IsOdd
and choose to invert both the internal logic and usages:
Before refactoring
public bool IsEven(int input){ return input % 2 == 0;}public void Test(int value){ if (IsEven(value)) Console.WriteLine("\n the number is even");}
After refactoring
public bool IsOdd(int input){ return input % 2 != 0;}public void Test(int value){ if (!IsOdd(value)) Console.WriteLine("\n the number is even");}
Place the caret at the declaration or a usage of a boolean member in the editor, or select it in the File Structure window window.
Do one of the following:
Press CtrlShift0R and then choose Invert Boolean.
Right-click and choose Refactor | Invert Boolean from the context menu.
Choose ReSharper | Refactor | Invert Boolean… from the main menu.
If no conflicts are found, ReSharper performs the refactoring immediately. Otherwise, it prompts you to resolve conflicts.
