Extract Function#

The extract function refactoring takes a selection of code, moves it into a separate function or method (or constant), and asks for a new function (or constant) name.

1. Select a portion of code.
2. Open Code Actions using a light bulb icon, or keyboard shortcut (by default Ctrl + . (Windows) or Cmd + .).
3. Select Extract function.
4. Enter a new function name and confirm with Enter.

Extract Constant#

If you select a constant value, instead of Extract function, there will be Extract constant.
