bazel-ide

Example project for a Bazel dev environment and IDE support.

Setup

There is a minimal devcontainer available with a minimal set of dependencies such as git, bazel, direnv, pre-commit, and python (for running Python packages outside of Bazel) and a few configuration steps executed when the container is created. These should also be all the dependencies you need for a local setup outside of the devcontainer.

All other dependencies are managed by Bazel and bazel_env.bzl. To get started, run the following command:

direnv allow .envrc
bazel run //tools:bazel_env

Now you should see a list of tools available in your PATH.

Examples

There are language specific examples for IDE support based on existing rules and tools managed by bazel_env.bzl.

• C++
• Python
