Developing

Setting up the Plugin SDK

• Add all jars in <intellij home>/plugins/JavaScriptLanguage
• Add all jars in <intellij home>/plugins/JavaScriptDebugger/lib
• Add the css.jar in <intellij home>/plugins/CSS/lib
• Add the netty-all-*.jar in <intellij home>/lib
• Add the NodeNS.jar in <user home>/.IntelliJIdea<version>/config/plugins/NodeJS/lib
• Add the IntelliLang.jar in <user home>/.IntelliJIdea<version>/config/plugins/IntelliLang/lib

Run-configuration options for interacting with the language service

By default the plugin uses the language service in META-INF/dist/js-graphql-language-service.dist.js.

During plugin development there are two options for working directly with the language service source files:

Option 1: Let IntelliJ start the language service directly from its server.js file

-Djsgraphql.debug=true
-Djsgraphql.debug.languageServiceDistFile=<git directory>/js-graphql-language-service/bin/server.js

Option 2: Let intelliJ connect to an already running language service instance

This run-configuration setup enabled debugging of the language service source code.

-Djsgraphql.debug=true
-Djsgraphql.debug.languageServiceUrl=http://localhost:3000/js-graphql-language-service

Note that no process handler console view is available since the plugin isn't responsible for running the Node.js process.
