Spring Boot Application Support for Theia IDE

Theia extension and Language Server providing support for working with Spring Boot application.properties, application.yml and .java files.

Usage:

The extension will automatically activate when you edit files with the following name patterns:

application*.properties => activates support for Spring Boot properties in .propertiesformat.
application*.yml => activates support for Spring Boot properties in .yml format.
*.java => activates Spring Boot specific support editing .java files.

Functionality for `.java`

Navigating the source code - Go to symbol in file/workspace

Easy navigation to Spring-specific elements of your source code.

Go to Symbol in workspace

Shortcuts

Mac: Cmd-Shift-O (symbols in file), Cmd-T (symbols in workspace)
Linux/Windows: Ctrl-Shift-O (symbols in file), Ctrl-T (symbols in workspace)

Examples

@/ shows all defined request mappings (mapped path, request method, source location)
@+ shows all defined beans (bean name, bean type, source location)
@> shows all functions (prototype implementation)
@ shows all Spring annotations in the code

Quick-access for running apps

Easy navigation to the provided request mappings of running apps.

accessing running apps quickly

Shortcuts

Mac: Cmd-Shift-O (symbols in file), Cmd-T (symbols in workspace)
Linux/Windows: Ctrl-Shift-O (symbols in file), Ctrl-T (symbols in workspace)

Examples

// shows all request mappings of all running Spring Boot apps and opens a browser for the selected endpoint

Live application information hovers

Show information from running Spring Boot apps on your machine in the source code. This allows you to run the Spring Boot app locally on your machine and visualizes information from those running apps in your source code.

Visualization

Once the tooling detects a running Spring Boot app on your local machine, it automatically shows hints in the source code where data from the running app can be inspected. Then hovering over that area (with the mouse pointer), the data from the running app shows up.

If there are multiple instances of the app running on your machine, the live data from all those instances will show up in the hover information.

live data from running apps as hover on source code

Examples

@Profile: shows information about the active profiles on the running apps
@Component, @Bean, @Autowired: shows detailed information about the beans and their wiring from the live app
@ContidionalOn...: shows information about the conditions and their evaluation at runtime

Configuration

You can enable/disable this feature via workspace or user preferences, using the key: boot-java.boot-hints.on.

Code templates

Write Spring code with templates, available via regular code completion.

Examples

@GetMapping
@PostMapping
@PutMapping

Smart code completions

Additional code completions for Spring-specific annotations

Smart code completion for boot properties

Examples

@Value: code completion for Spring Boot property keys
@Scope: code completion for standard scope names

Functionality for `.properties` and `.yml`

This extension analyzes your project's classpath and parses and indexes any Spring Boot Properties Metadata it finds. Both Maven and Gradle projects are supported.

The data in the index is used to provide validation, code completions and information hovers while editing Spring Boot Properties in either .properties or .yml format.
