The extension adds editor support for .idea files.

What It Provides

  • syntax highlighting
  • formatting support
  • auto-completion
  • jump to definition
  • diagnostics from the language server

Install

Install the published extension from the VS Code Marketplace:

Development Setup In This Repository

The extension lives in language. It is not part of the root Yarn workspace.

From language/:

npm install
npm run compile
npm run lint
npm test

Idea requires Node.js 22 or newer for repository work.

What The Extension Expects

  • files ending in .idea
  • workspace-local schemas and imports
  • plugin packages that can be resolved from the project layout
