Federation support in JetBrains IDEs


The GraphQL Plugin for JetBrains provides federation-specific development features, such as auto-complete for federation directives. However, you must enable this federation support after installing the plugin. Otherwise, your IDE might display unexpected errors while you're working with a subgraph schema.

To enable federation support, do the following in your IDE after installing the plugin:

  1. Open your IDE's Settings window.
  2. Expand the Languages & Frameworks section.
  3. Click GraphQL.
  4. Check the Federation checkbox.

  • PyCharm
  • PhpStorm
  • WebStorm
