plugin for intellij idea

[MohammadMD1383]

I started working on a plugin for intellij based ides.

but I need the help of community. (for complete grammar rules, etc ...)

I need your help guys!

Funny enough, I started making a prototype on the day this discussion was created :)

I am now parsing a fairly large subset of the language, but it is still far from complete, since the grammar has not yet been completed.

For example file from builtin folder:

See repo: https://github.com/i582/vlang-idea

Other features include "New file action", partially Go To Symbol, built-in vfmt that works as standard IDEA formatting, auto-closing of quotes and brackets, commenting with IDEA shortcuts (including partial support for Doc comments), auto-completion of function names, structures, enums, etc. (but not methods yet). There is also a simple run configuration, but there are still problems with it, but in general, now you can run any main() through the icon next to the function. Also plugin highlights the function name, types, etc.

The plugin is still far from being released. but I think we can team up to make the plugin faster 😄

Also, the plugin for the IDE is not only language support, but also support for projects, modules, builds and debugging. I think in idea it is possible to make a much more complex and convenient system, which will undoubtedly increase the number of V users.

idea plugin for LSP is pretty bad and is unstable and slow

that's unfortunate
LS is a great way to standardize this across all IDEs

Also, the plugin for the IDE is not only language support

all right, thanks, and good luck!

I'll add it to the home page next to the vscode plugin once it's stable

yep, LSP is a great technology, it would be much easier if we only had to do project support, launch configurations, and so on.

Oh interesting, I took a break from plugin development for a while and didn't notice.
