Inspectopedia 2024.3 Help

Property is explicitly assigned to constructor parameter

Reports properties that are explicitly assigned to primary constructor parameters.

Properties can be declared directly in the primary constructor, reducing the amount of code and increasing code readability.

Example:

class User(name: String) { val name = name }

The quick-fix joins the parameter and property declaration into a primary constructor parameter:

class User(val name: String) { }
