C# code style - closing parentheses at method declaration

Created October 09, 2023 09:48

Given a code like this:

public async Task<ActionResult<CreateNewResponse>> Post(
    [FromBody] CreateNewRequest query,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken
)
{
    var response = await Mediator.Send(query, cancellationToken);
    return Ok(response);
}

I want it to be formatted like this, the closing parentheses for the method parameters at the end of line:

public async Task<ActionResult<CreateNewResponse>> Post(
    [FromBody] CreateNewRequest query,
    CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
    var response = await Mediator.Send(query, cancellationToken);
    return Ok(response);
}

Where is this set in the Code Style setting?

Hi Farid,

Try with the below settings. In Settings | Code Style | C# | Line Breaks and Wrapping

In Arrangement and Method Signature section:

Enable Prefer to wrap after '(' declaration
Disable Prefer to wrap before ')' declaration
Disable Keep existing arrangement of parenthesis in declaration

In General section:

Make sure Keep existing line breaks selected.

Press Ctrl + Alt + F to format code, you should be able to see the expected changes now.

Regards,

Tao

Thanks Tao, that works! Is there similar setting for angle brackets too ("<" and “>”)?

In my team, there's people that came from TS background, so they use this out of habit:

public class SomeHandler
: IRequestHandler<
SomeRequest,
List<SomeResponse>
>
{}

When it's more natural for C# people to write it this way (notice the closing angle bracket):

public class SomeHandler
: IRequestHandler<
SomeRequest,
List<SomeResponse>>
{}

Is there a setting for this?

Hello Farid,

The setting for angle brackets you mentioned are not part of Rider's C# Code Styles.

When formatting the code, angle brackets will not be rearranged. You might want to check if your teammates are using .editorconfig to manage IDE preferences and ensure EditorConfig support is enabled in Rider.
