[feature] Saltstack support #14

Closed ngortheone closed 8 years ago

ngortheone commented 8 years ago

Hi

I am willing to give some help improving this plugin for saltstack syntax support (jinja and yaml). But I am new to writing idea plugins. Could you share any ideas where to start applying my enthusiasm?

Well.. This is not an easy part. Actually Jinja is on top of the Yaml. In my plans there should a Jinja template engine doing the first pass and then giving clean code to underlying Yaml.

The good place to investigate would be Handlebars plugin. It has nice pieces of code to study. But without documentation from JetBrains it's all trial and error.

My previous project IntelliJ-Ansible had the previous approach - parsing Yaml AND Jinja in one plugin. It's also available in plugin repository. If you are looking for some quick fixed instead implementing whole template layer you may dig there.
