Intellij comes with a number of 'live templates' to speed up development. They allow us to insert standard statements via abbreviations. Documentation explaining live templates in further detail can be found here

The custom.xml file in this repo contains some custom templates that I use frequently.

I have listed the default live templates that come with Intellij for Java and Groovy file below.

• fori – creates iteration loop
• itar – iterates elements of array
• itco – iterates elements of java.util.Collection
• iter – iterates Iterable
• itit – iterates java.util.Iterator

• ifn – Inserts “if null” statement
• inn – Inserts “if not null” statement
• inst – Checks object type with instanceof and down-casts it
• lazy – Performs lazy initialization

• psf – public static final
• psfi – public static final int
