CodeAction

A code action represents a change that can be performed in code, e.g. to fix a problem or to refactor code.

A CodeAction must set either edit and/or a command. If both are supplied, the edit is applied first, then the command is executed.

optional command?: Command

A command this code action executes. If a code action provides an edit and a command, first the edit is executed and then the command.


optional data?: any

A data entry field that is preserved on a code action between a textDocument/codeAction and a codeAction/resolve request.

optional diagnostics?: Diagnostic[]

The diagnostics that this code action resolves.


optional disabled?: CodeActionDisabled

Marks that the code action cannot currently be applied.

Clients should follow the following guidelines regarding disabled code actions:

  • Disabled code actions are not shown in automatic lightbulbs code action menus.

  • Disabled actions are shown as faded out in the code action menu when the user requests a more specific type of code action, such as refactorings.

  • If the user has a keybinding that auto applies a code action and only disabled code actions are returned, the client should show the user an error message with reason in the editor.

optional edit?: WorkspaceEdit

optional isPreferred?: boolean

Marks this as a preferred action. Preferred actions are used by the auto fix command and can be targeted by keybindings.

A quick fix should be marked preferred if it properly addresses the underlying error. A refactoring should be marked preferred if it is the most reasonable choice of actions to take.
