[GitHub] [netbeans] zeleznypa opened a new issue, #4621: Netbeans code templates - string functions

[GitBox <gi...@apache.org>]

zeleznypa opened a new issue, #4621:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/4621

   ### Description
   
   Netbeans contains great tool „[code templates](https://netbeans.apache.org/kb/docs/php/code-templates.html)“ that allows me to simplify my work. 
   
   For many years I missed last functionality for the perfection, which is some additional string function.
   
   ### Use case/motivation
   
   For example, I have at this time the following code template:
   
   ```
       /**
        * ${PARAMETER newVarName default="Parameter"} getter
        *
        * @return ${TYPE newVarName default="Parameter"}
        */
       protected function get${PARAMETER editable=false}(): ${TYPE editable=false}
       {
           return $this->${PROPERTY newVarName default="parameter"};
       }
   
       /**
        * ${PARAMETER editable=false} setter
        *
        * @param ${TYPE editable=false} $$${PROPERTY editable=false}
        * @return static Provides fluent interface
        */
       protected function set${PARAMETER editable=false}(${TYPE editable=false} $$${PROPERTY editable=false})
       {
           $this->${PROPERTY editable=false} = $$${PROPERTY editable=false};
           return $this;
       }
   ```
   
   That allows me to quickly generate the code of generic getter & setter and simply replace the name `${PARAMETER}` with the real one. After that I have to replace the name `${PROPERTY}` which should be the same like `${PARAMETER}` but with the first letter lowercase.
   
   Will it be possible please to add functionalities like:
   - lower case all
   - lower case first letter
   - upper case all
   - upper case first letter
   - replace something with something
   - replace something with something by regexp?
