# IDE plugins

Accelerate your development workflow and ensure that your policies are error-free with real-time syntax checking.

## Editor configurations

Scheme for all Cerbos files (policies, test suites and test data) are published and made avaliable to configure your IDE. With these setup, your existing tooling with provide realtime validation, autocomplete functionality and links to documentation when working with your policy. Whether you're using Neovim, JetBrains IDEs, or Visual Studio Code, we've got you covered.

### Smooth policy authoring

<div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: flex-start; width: 100%;">
<img alt="ide-plugins" src="/assets/ide-plugins-code.png" style="width: 787px; height: 406px;">
</div>

Our IDE integrations are designed to make your policy authoring process as smooth as possible. With real-time syntax checking and context-sensitive suggestions, you can focus more on the logic of your policies and less on debugging syntax errors. Happy coding!
