Rubberduck - MoveFieldCloserToUsage

Inspection type: MaintainabilityAndReadabilityIssues

Default severity: Hint

Reasoning

Module-level variables that are only used in a single procedure can often be declared in that procedure's scope. Declaring variables closer to where they are used generally makes the code easier to follow

Quick-Fixes

The following quick-fixes are available for this inspection:

IgnoreOnce: Adds an '@Ignore annotation to ignore a specific inspection result. Applicable to all inspections whose results can be annotated in a module.
IgnoreInModule: Adds an '@IgnoreModule annotation to ignore a inspection results for a specific inspection inside a whole module. Applicable to all inspections whose results can be annotated in a module.
MoveFieldCloserToUsage: Moves field declaration to the procedure scope it's used in.

Examples

Each example is a self-contained MCVE showing the feature in a single specific scenario.

Standard Module

Named Module1 by default, these are general-purpose standard procedural modules.

Class Module

Named Class1 by default, these modules define the default interface for an object of that type.

Predeclared Class

A class module with its VB_PredeclaredId attribute set to True (with or without a @PredeclaredId annotation).

Interface Module

Abstract interfaces are class modules (with or without an @Interface annotation) whose default interface is not a class type intended to be instantiated.

UserForm Module

A predeclared class with a design-time visual designer using the MSForms UI framework.

Document Module

Owned by the host application, these class modules belong to the host document and may handle various events fired by the host application.
