Architecture​

The IntelliJ plugin will be a thin wrapper around the Haft CLI, following the same pattern as other integrations:

┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│      IntelliJ IDEA Plugin          │
│  • Tool Windows                    │
│  • Intention Actions               │
│  • Native UI Integration           │
└────────────┬───────────────────────┘
             │
             ▼
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│         Haft CLI (Core)            │
│  • All business logic              │
│  • Architecture detection          │
│  • Code generation                 │
└────────────────────────────────────┘

Supported IDEs​

The plugin will support all JetBrains IDEs:

  • IntelliJ IDEA (Community & Ultimate)
  • Android Studio
  • GoLand (if working on Go + Spring Boot)
  • WebStorm (if working on frontend + Spring Boot backend)

Interested in Contributing?​

  3. See contributing guidelines
  4. Experience with IntelliJ Platform SDK is helpful

Meanwhile, Use the CLI​

While the IntelliJ plugin is in development, you can use the Haft CLI directly from the IntelliJ terminal:

# In IntelliJ terminal (Alt+F12)
haft generate resource User
haft add lombok validation
haft info

Or add as an External Tool:

  1. Settings → Tools → External Tools
  2. Click + to add new tool
  3. Configure:
    • Name: Haft Generate Resource
    • Program: haft
    • Arguments: generate resource $Prompt$
    • Working directory: $ProjectFileDir$

Then access via Tools → External Tools → Haft Generate Resource.

See CLI Documentation to learn all CLI commands.
