BooleanGetMethodName

BooleanGetMethodName

Methods that return boolean results should be named as predicate statements to denote this. I.e, ‘isReady()’, ‘hasValues()’, ‘canCommit()’, ‘willFail()’, etc. Avoid the use of the ‘get’ prefix for these methods.

                    
//MethodDeclaration[
MethodDeclarator[count(FormalParameters/FormalParameter) = 0 or $checkParameterizedMethods = 'true']
                [starts-with(@Image, 'get')]
and
ResultType/Type/PrimitiveType[@Image = 'boolean']
and not(../Annotation//Name[@Image = 'Override'])
]

Example(s):

            
public boolean getFoo(); 	// bad
public boolean isFoo(); 	// ok
public boolean getFoo(boolean bar); // ok, unless checkParameterizedMethods=true
