Code

Someone today during my talk on TDD for Blazor on a JetBrains Webinar asked me for what live templates I was using.

 

What are Live Templates?

Live templates are ways of quickly adding code. Usually you have 1-5 characters you type and then you hit “tab” and it will generate you lots more code. Sometimes these are called “snippets.”

If you want to see me using one from the webinar today check this out at around the 44:08 mark.

 

What Live Templates do I have?

I have four Live Templates related to testing:

• xf which generates an xUnit Fact without async
• xfa which generates an async xUnit Fact
• xt which generates an xUnit Theory without async
• xta which generates async xUnit Theory

To add these to JetBrains Rider, you can open up your settings, go under Live Templates, then C#, and then you can add a new live template. Here are the settings.

Note: the words between $$ means your cursor will end up there and you can tab your way through those.
