Settings
EasyApi provides flexible configuration through IDE settings, local rule files, and remote config files.
Configuration Methods
| Method | Scope | Description |
|---|---|---|
| IDE Settings | Global / Project | Configure in IntelliJ preferences, including the Rules tab and AI tab |
| Local Config File | Project / Global | .easyapi/*.rules folder model (recommended) or legacy .easy.api.config |
| Remote Config File | Project | Load config from a remote URL |
Config Rules
Rules are the core of EasyApi's extensibility. They allow you to customize how APIs are parsed, documented, and exported. EasyApi understands standard HTTP frameworks out of the box — most projects need no custom rules.
- Config Rules — Rule syntax, filter prefixes, and ways to write rules (built-in AI Assistant or external skill)
- Callbacks & Events — Parse and export event hooks
- Script Tools — Built-in tools for Groovy scripts
Advanced
- Groovy Local Extension — Extend EasyApi with custom Groovy scripts
Features and channel settings
Use IDE Settings > Features to control framework recognizers, export channels, and field-format channels. Experimental Hoppscotch, OpenAPI, and ApiPost channels are disabled by default. Most of these extension points can be turned off when they are not relevant to a project; the Features tab also controls API scanning (with automatic and concurrent options) and editor integration, all of which take effect immediately without an IDE restart. Their channel-specific settings are available from the EasyApi settings tree.
