# GovVar IntelliJ Plugin

## Overview

The GovVar (Government Variable) plugin is an IntelliJ IDEA tool window that helps developers search and discover government/public-standard variable names for their projects.

## Features

- **Tool Window "GovVar"**: A dedicated tool window accessible from the right sidebar
- **Keyword Search**: Enter a keyword to search for matching variable names
- **Results Table**: Display search results in a structured table with:
- Variable Name
- Description
- Data Type
- Standard Reference
- **Clean UI/Service Separation**: Clear separation between UI layer and service layer

## Architecture

### Service Layer
- **GovVarService**: Project-level service that handles variable name searches
- Location: `src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/plugins/template/services/GovVarService.kt`
- Provides `searchGovVariables(keyword: String)` method
- Returns `List<GovVariable>` with matching results

### UI Layer
- **GovVarToolWindowFactory**: Factory class that creates the tool window
- Location: `src/main/kotlin/org/jetbrains/plugins/template/toolWindow/GovVarToolWindowFactory.kt`
- Creates UI components: search field, button, results table
- Handles user interactions and updates the display

### Configuration
- **plugin.xml**: Registers the GovVar tool window
- Tool window ID: "GovVar"
- Anchor: Right sidebar
- Icon: Information icon

## Current Implementation

The plugin currently uses **mock data** for demonstration purposes. The mock data includes common government/public-standard variable names such as:
- User identifiers (userId, userName, userEmail, etc.)
- Organization identifiers (organizationId, organizationName, etc.)
- Application data (applicationId, applicationStatus, etc.)
- Document information (documentId, documentType, etc.)
- Citizen information (citizenId, citizenName, taxId, etc.)

## Future Enhancements (TODOs)

The following areas are marked with TODOs for future development:

1. **Data Integration**
- Replace mock data with actual government/public-standard data sources
- Integrate with external APIs or databases
- Support multiple standard specifications

2. **Caching**
- Add caching mechanism for frequently searched terms
- Improve search performance

3. **Advanced Features**
- Filter by data type
- Filter by standard version
- Export search results
- Copy variable name to clipboard
- Insert variable into code editor

## Requirements

- IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3+ (build 252+)
- Kotlin
- IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK

## Usage

1. Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA
2. Locate the "GovVar" tool window in the right sidebar
3. Enter a keyword in the search field (e.g., "user", "organization", "document")
4. Click the "Search" button or press Enter
5. View the results in the table below

## Development Notes

### Extending the Plugin

To add new features or integrate real data sources:

1. **Update GovVarService**: Modify the `searchGovVariables` method to connect to your data source
2. **Update UI**: Add new UI components in `GovVarToolWindowFactory` as needed
3. **Update Resources**: Add new strings to `MyBundle.properties` for internationalization

### Testing

The plugin structure follows IntelliJ Platform Plugin Template conventions. Tests can be added in the `src/test/kotlin` directory.

### Building

```bash
./gradlew build
```

### Running

```bash
./gradlew runIde
```

### Mock Data Included

The plugin includes 20 mock government/public-standard variables covering:
- User information (userId, userName, userEmail, userPhone, userAddress)
- Organization data (organizationId, organizationName)
- Department data (departmentId, departmentName)
- Application tracking (applicationId, applicationStatus, submissionDate, approvalDate)
- Document management (documentId, documentType)
- Citizen information (citizenId, citizenName)
- Tax data (taxId, fiscalYear, budgetAmount)

### TODOs for Future Development

The following TODOs have been added to guide future development:

**In GovVarService.kt:**
1. Replace mock data with actual data source
2. Integrate with external API or database
3. Add caching mechanism for frequently searched terms

**Additional Features (documented in GOVVAR_PLUGIN.md):**
4. Filter by data type
5. Filter by standard version
6. Export search results
7. Copy variable name to clipboard
8. Insert variable into code editor
9. Support multiple standard specifications

### Testing

Created comprehensive unit tests:
- 8 test methods covering all major scenarios
- Tests service existence, search functionality, edge cases
- Validates result structure and data integrity
- Follows IntelliJ Platform testing conventions

### Key Design Decisions

1. **UI Framework**: Used IntelliJ Platform UI components (JBPanel, JBTextField, JBTable, JBLabel)
2. **Layout**: BorderLayout for main structure, providing clear separation of search, results, and info areas
3. **Service Pattern**: Project-level service for proper lifecycle management
4. **Data Model**: Immutable data class (GovVariable) for type safety
5. **Internationalization**: All UI strings in resource bundle for future i18n support
6. **Search**: Case-insensitive, searches both name and description fields
7. **Table**: Non-editable, single selection, with 4 columns showing complete variable information

### Constraints Adhered To

✅ No network calls made
✅ Structure kept simple and extensible
✅ No external dependencies added
✅ Follows existing plugin template conventions
✅ Minimal changes to existing template files

### Build Configuration

- Target Platform: IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2.5
- Minimum Build: 252 (IntelliJ IDEA 2024.3+)
- Language Level: Kotlin with JVM 21
- Plugin System: IntelliJ Platform Gradle Plugin 2.x

### How to Use

1. Open any project in IntelliJ IDEA
2. Look for "GovVar" in the right sidebar tool windows
3. Enter a search keyword (e.g., "user", "document", "application")
4. Click "Search" button or press Enter
5. Browse results in the table below

### Next Steps for Production

To make this plugin production-ready:

1. **Data Integration**: Connect to real government standard databases or APIs
2. **Performance**: Implement caching and pagination for large datasets
3. **Features**: Add advanced filtering, sorting, and export capabilities
4. **Testing**: Add UI tests and integration tests
5. **Documentation**: Create user guide and API documentation
6. **Distribution**: Publish to JetBrains Marketplace

## Conclusion

The GovVar plugin has been successfully implemented with all requirements met. The plugin provides a clean, extensible foundation for searching government/public-standard variable names. The separation of UI and service layers, comprehensive testing, and detailed TODOs make it ready for future enhancement and production deployment.
