Delete attribute

Last modified: 26 May 2024

The Delete Attribute refactoring allows you to delete a set of attribute definitions on a set of XML tag. If this refactoring is invoked, all attributes matching the selected attribute name on tags with the selected tag name may be removed. This bulk removal of attributes may be useful as XML schemas evolve.

Note the following:

  • Pressing Preview opens the Refactoring preview window displaying all found usages of the attributes to be removed. In this window you can exclude/include usages you want to refactor.

  • Pressing Show XSLT... opens the XSLT preview window displaying a small fragment of XSLT equivalent to the refactoring requested. This fragment can be used by XSLT processors to perform the requested refactoring on files external to your WebStorm project.

  • The Refactoring preview window may appear anyway, if the files to be affected are read-only.
