From Hackathon to Marketplace: Building a Magnolia YAML Assistant Plugin
summary
A hackathon prototype at Ray Sono becomes a production IntelliJ plugin that ships on JetBrains Marketplace, adding schema autocompletion and jump navigation between Magnolia YAML, templates and Java with context-aware links. The team fixes Magnolia’s nonstandard YAML (include/inherit) by extending the IntelliJ YAML parser, supports multiple Magnolia versions via settings, uses a GitLab CI pipeline for releases, chooses ClassMaster for obfuscation, and issues internal 100% discount codes; Magnolia later features the plugin, and users worldwide adopt it.
