What is Rider?JetBrains Rider is a cross-platform .NET IDE based on the IntelliJ platform and ReSharper.
Supports many .NET project typesRider supports .NET Framework, the new cross-platform .NET Core, and Mono based projects. This lets you develop a wide array of applications including .NET desktop applications, services and libraries, Unity games, Xamarin apps, ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core web applications.
Feature-rich and fastRider provides 2200+ live code inspections, hundreds of context actions and refactorings brought by ReSharper, and combines them with the IntelliJ platform's solid IDE features. Despite a heavy feature set, Rider is designed to be fast and responsive.
Cross-platformAs well as running and debugging multiple runtimes, Rider itself runs on multiple platforms: Windows, macOS and Linux.
Code analysisRider boasts 2,200+ live code inspections, with automated quick-fixes to resolve detected issues individually or in bulk. Solution-wide error analysis will monitor code issues and let you know if anything goes wrong, even in files that are not currently open.
Code editingRider's rich editor features different kinds of code completion and code templates, auto-inserting matching braces and import directives, quick info tooltips and gutter icons for inheritance navigation, context actions, and much more.
RefactoringsMost of ReSharper's 60+ refactorings are already available in Rider, and its 450+ context actions are all there. Rename, extract methods, interfaces and classes, move and copy types, use alternative syntax, and a lot more!
Unit test runnerRider helps you run and debug unit tests based on NUnit, xUnit.net, or MSTest. You can explore tests, group them in different ways, break them down into individual sessions, see test output and navigate to source code from stack traces.
Debugger and more toolsRider includes a debugger that works with .NET Framework, Mono and .NET Core applications, letting you step, watch, evaluate, and run to cursor. Other tools include a stack trace explorer, NuGet browser, and VCS and database support.
Databases and SQLWork with SQL and databases without leaving Rider. Connect to databases, edit schemas and table data, run queries, and even analyze schemas with UML diagrams.
Navigation and searchJump to any file, type, or member in your code base in no time, as well as quickly find settings and actions. Find usages of any symbol, or navigate from a symbol to the base and derived symbols, extension methods, or implementations.
Front-end technologiesRider comes with JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS and Sass support built in. Take advantage of refactorings, debugging, and unit testing capabilities coming from WebStorm.
ExtensibilityTrue to its roots, Rider supports a wide array of plugins developed for ReSharper and IntelliJ Platform. In addition to bundled plugins (such as those for VCS, F#, and Unity support), plugins that support Markdown, .gitignore files, and Python scripts are available.
