README

This is the source code for the BAML IntelliJ extension, which provides the following functionality:

• syntax highlighting for BAML source code
• language server functionality for BAML source code (xref navigation, jump-to-definition, etc)
• the BAML playground, which allows a user to interact with their BAML source code and run tests

It is implemented as follows:

• builds are managed with Gradle
• Kotlin source code for the extension
• LSP4IJ is a third-party framework used to provide LSP integration (this connects our LSP with Jetbrains)
  • This is a new, actively developed framework documented at https://github.com/redhat-developer/lsp4ij/blob/main/docs/DeveloperGuide.md
• The BAML playground is shown with BamlToolWindowFactory.kt
  • It relies on Intellij's JCEF (Java Chromium Embedded Framework) integration, which is documented at https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/embedded-browser-jcef.html
