Federation Support in JetBrains IDEs

The GraphQL Plugin for JetBrains provides federation-specific development features, such as auto-complete for federation directives. However, you must enable this federation support after installing the plugin. Otherwise, your IDE might display unexpected errors while you're working with a subgraph schema.

Setup

To enable federation support, do the following in your IDE after installing the plugin:

1. Open your IDE's Settings window.

2. Expand the Languages & Frameworks section.

3. Click GraphQL.

4. Check the Federation checkbox.

This plugin supports all IntelliJ-based IDEs, including:

• IntelliJ IDEA

• PyCharm

• PhpStorm

• WebStorm

• CLion

• RubyMine

• Rider

• GoLand
