Wrapping chained method calls on a separate line in Intellij for Java


[Copied from]: Wrapping chained method calls on a separate line in eclipse for Java

For example, I have this:

someObject.A().B().C();

But I really want this:

someObject.A()
          .B()
          .C();

I wanted to ask how to achieve that formatting in intellij. I was unable to achieve it. I want to use the same formatting given in this answer.


Solution

  • Small disclaimer: this is IJ 14.4, it's possible that in later versions it may have been changed/renamed/etc, but it should be there somewhere nonetheless


    Go to Settings -> Editor -> Code style -> Java and select the Wrapping and Braces tab, then scroll to Chained method calls. Check the little combo on the right of the item, default Do not wrap, and change it to Wrap always.
