IDE Support

IntelliJ#

Melos integrates with IntelliJ via the generation of IntelliJ project module files (.iml files) during melos bootstrap.

Melos will create an IntelliJ project module for each package in your Melos workspace, and will create flutter and dart Run configurations for your main.darts and your package's test suite.

VS Code#

The Melos extension integrates Melos with VS Code.

`melos.yaml`#

The extension provides validation and autocompletion of melos.yaml and allows you to run scripts through CodeLenses:

Melos scripts as tasks#

Melos scripts are provided as VS Code tasks:

To configure a task that runs a Melos script, use task type melos:

// .vscode/tasks.json
{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "tasks": [
    {
      "type": "melos",
      "script": "test",
      "label": "melos: test"
    }
  ]
}

Commands#

The following commands are available in the command palette:

Melos: Bootstrap to run melos bootstrap
Melos: Clean to run melos clean
Melos: Run script to select and run a Melos script
Melos: Show package graph to show the package graph of the Melos workspace

Melos commands in VS Code command palette
