Config file path

If you want to customize advanced configuration, you could edit the config file then restart your IDE. Config file path in APP_CONFIG/rainbow_brackets.xml.

In MAC OS env maybe like /Users/izhangzhihao/Library/Preferences/IntelliJIdea2018.3/options/rainbow_brackets.xml.

In Linux env maybe like ~/.IntelliJIdea/config/options/rainbow_brackets.xml.

In Windows env maybe like C:\Users\izhangzhihao\.IntelliJIdea2018.3\config\options\rainbow_brackets.xml.

HTML code in js

To enable rainbow brackets for HTML inside js code like this:

var html = '<div><div><div>Hello</div></div></div>';

This plugin will automatically override color scheme property "HTML_CODE" cause our rainbow color been covered by intellij built-in functionality. You still could set <option name="rainbowifyHTMLInsideJS" value="false" /> in config file to disable just like Config brackets colors.

Kotlin function literal braces and arrow

To enable rainbow brackets for multiple level lambda Kotlin code like this:

event.throwable?.let { throwable ->
    IdeErrorsDialog.findPluginId(throwable)?.let { pluginId ->
        PluginManager.getPlugin(pluginId)?.let { ideaPluginDescriptor ->
            if (!ideaPluginDescriptor.isBundled) {
                bean.pluginName = ideaPluginDescriptor.name
                bean.pluginVersion = ideaPluginDescriptor.version
            }
        }
    }
}

This plugin will automatically override color scheme property "KOTLIN_FUNCTION_LITERAL_BRACES_AND_ARROW" cause our rainbow color been covered by kotlin plugin built-in functionality. You still could set <option name="rainbowifyKotlinFunctionLiteralBracesAndArrow" value="false" /> in config file to disable just like Config brackets colors.

Disable rainbow brackets for specific languages

If you want to disable rainbow brackets for javascript languages and java languages, you could set languageBlacklist property in config file just like:

<application>
  <component name="RainbowSettings">
    <option name="languageBlacklist">
      <array>
        <option value="java" />
        <option value="javascript" />
      </array>
    </option>
  </component>
</application>
