Integrate Move & Aptos into your projects

Move Intellij IDE Plugin

The first Intellij IDE plugin for Move

Used to building projects in Intellij IDEs like PyCharm or Clion? Now you can add Move to your stack – the ultimate secure smart contract language designed by Meta.

Experiment with Move and build dApps for Move-compatible blockchains like Aptos – all in the IDE you’re used to.

Key features

Syntax highlighting

Plugin can differentiate between keywords and non-keywords based on context and has extensive error recovery support. A missing brace won’t break your code.

Type inference support

See the most common errors highlighted and get intelligent type hints, with completion suggestions sorted by expected type.

Symbol support

Quickly find a function signature, highlight its usages, and auto-complete. The Rename refactoring feature quickly renames items across the project and its dependencies.

Error checks on-the-fly

The plugin finds errors in the Move compiler as you go to maximize your productivity. You can even apply quick fixes without writing new code.

Automated use statement handling

The Move plugin generates use statements based on the completion suggestions and helps you sort them and remove unused one.

Move Project Model

The plugin understands the structure, modules, and dependencies of your Move project and stores all the data in a regularly updated Project Model.

Automated code formatting

The plugin features a unique Move auto-formatter that can be easily invoked with a command.
