how to use camelCase in IDEA live templates

Question

I constructed this live template:

public boolean is$var$Present() { return $varname$.isPresent(); }

enter image description here

I expect the variable name I type to be converted to camelCase and inserted to "return ...." string, but this does not happen. the "return ..." part stays unchanged.

In Live Templates Page, you can click "Edit variables" to make connection between two or more variables.

In your case, you can set $varname$ as camelCase(var).

I made same mistake as probably @Alex did - I expected camelCase (not sure why) to change abc to Abc. List of functions is available here.

It's a good idea to check "Skip if defined", it behave as expected, you are not requested to fill it in. With arrows one can change the order as well. It is a good idea to fill also "var" as default value, so you know what you are filling in.

I found a solution:

public boolean is$capitalizedVar$Present() { return $var$.isPresent(); }
