# AfterWord

#### class AfterWord extends AnyRef

Class whose instances are after words, which can be used to reduce text duplication.

If you are repeating a word or phrase at the beginning of each string inside a block, you can "move the word or phrase" out of the block with an after word. You create an after word by passing the repeated word or phrase to the `afterWord` method. Once created, you can place the after word after `when`, a verb (`should`, `must`, or `can`), or `that`. (You can't place one after `in` or `is`, the words that introduce a test.) Here's an example that has after words used in all three places:

    import org.scalatest.WordSpec

    class ScalaTestGUISpec extends WordSpec {

      def theUser = afterWord("the user")
      def display = afterWord("display")
      def is = afterWord("is")

      "The ScalaTest GUI" when theUser {
        "clicks on an event report in the list box" should display {
          "a blue background in the clicked-on row in the list box" in {}
          "the details for the event in the details area" in {}
          "a rerun button" that is {
            "enabled if the clicked-on event is rerunnable" in {}
            "disabled if the clicked-on event is not rerunnable" in {}
          }
        }
      }
    }

Running the previous `WordSpec` in the Scala interpreter would yield:

    scala> (new ScalaTestGUISpec).run()
    The ScalaTest GUI (when the user clicks on an event report in the list box)
    - should display a blue background in the clicked-on row in the list box
    - should display the details for the event in the details area
    - should display a rerun button that is enabled if the clicked-on event is rerunnable
    - should display a rerun button that is disabled if the clicked-on event is not rerunnable

   Supports the use of after words.

   Supports the use of after words.

   This method transforms a block of code into a `ResultOfAfterWordApplication`, which is accepted by `when`, `should`, `must`, `can`, and `that` methods. For more information, see the main documentation for trait `WordSpec`.
