ZK downloads statistics

A ZK framework plugin for IntelliJ IDEA that helps developers work with the ZK Java Web Framework. The plugin provides powerful, schema-aware code completion and validation to accelerate development.

Enhance your ZK development experience with MVVM data binding support, featuring intelligent code completion and seamless navigation. Effortlessly jump from ZUL binding expressions to ViewModel properties, command methods, and template URIs. Benefit from deep type propagation for chained properties, smart command name suggestions, and automatic scope variable completion.

Features:

• Layout Preview

• A side-by-side layout preview for .zul files — see how a page lays out while you edit, refreshed on save • Rendered through your project's own ZK jars in a separate helper process; your application never runs (ViewModels, Composers, and converters are never instantiated), so bound values appear as placeholders rather than real data • A first-paint layout view, not a live application preview

• ZUL File Support

• ZUL code completion for ZK components, attributes, and events • ZUL to class declaration navigation • ZUL syntax check and validation

• ZK Configuration File Support

• ZK configuration file (zk.xml) code completion and validation • Language addon configuration file (lang-addon.xml) code completion and validation • Note: To enable code completion, either use the default filenames (zk.xml, lang-addon.xml) or add the correct namespace to your custom-named XML file.

• MVVM Development Support

• Intelligent code completion for MVVM annotations (@init, @load, @bind, @save, @command, etc.) • Advanced property completion with deep type propagation for chained paths (e.g., vm.user.name) • Context-aware suggestions for command names and scope variables • Seamless navigation from ZUL to Java ViewModel properties, command methods, and template URIs • Intelligent navigation between matching ZUL tags

• Project Creation

• Provide ZK Maven archetypes for creating ZK projects

• Live Templates

• Built-in ZK snippet templates: grid, listbox, tree, ns, jspatch — just type the abbreviation and press Tab

• Feedback Menu

• a feedback menu under the Help menu for feedback and documentation
