NOTE: Check https://github.com/asedunov/intellij-crystal-lang for an up to date IntelliJ plugin for Crystal language
This plugin is still in the early stages of development so only has a handful of features. But over time things will stabilize and more features will be added. Currently only the lexer and some very basic syntax highlighting are done - see screenshot below.
Visit [intellij-crystal.github.io] to find documentation about installation and features.
- Initial syntax highlighting
- Initial AST tree for parser / grammar
To track the progress see the agile board here
The following features will evolve over the next few months:
- full lexer - with tests
- full grammar parser - with tests
- default syntax highlighting color scheme - based on Atom light theme
- darcula syntax highlighting color scheme - based on Atom dark theme
- working commenter
- Go to definition
- jump to implementation
- refactor - rename
Features for later on:
- crystal intellij project type
- compiler support and run configurations
- code formatting
- code auto completion
- An initial alpha release with just the lexer and basic syntax highlighting is in the Jetbrains plugin repo
- Hopefully there will be a release every few months going forward
