Adds Structurizr DSL language support to IntelliJ.

Adds Structurizr DSL language support to IntelliJ.

Structurizr DSL is a domain specific language for creating architecture models and diagrams using Simon Brown's C4 model.

Note

This plugin is a work in progress! There may be bugs, and features that you might expect from a language plugin are missing. I'd love to get your feedback! You can leave feedback by writing a review, by filing an issue, or by starting a discussion.

Features

• Basic syntax highlighting for the Structurizr DSL language. Files with the .dsl extension are considered to be Structurizr DSL files.
• Automatically indent and normalize spacing with IntelliJ's "Reformat Code" command.
• Automatically indent new code while typing
• Comment code using the "Comment with line/block comment" commands
• More to come! Please refer to the TODO section of the README for a list of features that will likely be added.

Decisions / limitations

• For now, arguments of statements are all treated as (un)quoted strings, so "true", "false", integers, (un)quoted text will all get the same syntax highlighting.
• The following blocks are treated as property blocks, containing (un)quoted string pairs:
  • perspectives
  • properties
  • users
• All arguments of view declarations are highlighted as (un)quoted strings. Correct highlighting of these arguments will most likely be implemented using an annotator, instead of via lexer based highlighting.
