Sublime Method plugin

The glorious plugin that allows (almost) language independent methods manipulation in file.

Demo

Installation

This plugin is part of sublime-enhanced plugin set. You can install sublime-enhanced and this plugin will be installed automatically.

If you would like to install this package separately check “Installing packages separately” section of sublime-enhanced package.

WARNING

This plugin does not works with multicursors. The reason is that I'm too lazy and the plugin is too complext to refactor it and add multicursors support.

At least one method should be defined in current file before you can start using this plugin. At least one private or protected method should be defined if you want to work with private/protected methods.

It relies heavely on source code indentation. If your file is poorly indented then this plugin will not work properly.

E.g.:

# good
  def a()
    test()
  end

  # bad
  def a()
  test()
  end

There is default support for languages: ruby, python, php, js, coffee. If you want to provide other language supporting, you should create three files in “User” plugins directory:

• [language]-method.sublime-snippet
• [language]-method-call.sublime-snippet
• [language]-method-call-null.sublime-snippet

Where [language] is your language as it defined in sublime (to find out right name use “ctrl+u, ctrl+\” hotkey).

See “snippets” directory for examples. You can also make pull request to make your language support available for everybody.

Features

1. Create (extract) method - creates new method. It tries to detect method name, args, body and return value based on current cursor position. There is also bindings to show where to create method (in beginning of method list, in “private” section and etc.)

2. Move method - moves current method under cursor to new position (begin of methods list, to private)

3. Goto method - allows bind shortcuts to goto first/last method, first/last private method, next/previous method and method by name (e.g. “init”)

4. Create method space - creates space for method so your preferred snippet can be executed here. Especeally good for defining tests.

5. Delete method - deletes current method. Especeally good when working with tests.

6. Clone method - clones current method. Especeally good when working with tests.

7. Insert method name to mark - inserts current method name, arguments and result to mark.

8. Select methods - select specified methods name or methods body.

9. Comment/uncomment all except current - usefull when you want to run only current test; hotkey is faster than specifying “–name test_my_feature” in command line.

Usage

Only few usecases displayed here. Please see “Commands” section to receive complete command list.

Create method (by name)

# before
  def a(a)
    b(a)| # <- cursor is here
  end

  # after
  def a(a)
    b(a)
  end

  def b|(a) # <- cursor is here

  end

Create method (by body)

# before
  def a(a)
    {a = b(a)
    a = c(a)}| # <- selection is here
    d(a)
  end

  # after
  def a(a)

  end

  def |(a) # <- cursor is here
    a = b(a)
    a = c(a)
    return a
  end

Move method down

# before
  def first()
    | # <- cursor is here
  end

  def second()

  end

  # after
  def second()

  end

  def first()
    | # <- cursor is here
  end
