| # `fx ide-query` |
| |
| `fx ide-query` is a tool (currently in development) designed to provide IDE-related metadata and query functionality within a Fuchsia checkout. |
| |
| ## Usage |
| |
| Once fully implemented, the tool can be invoked via the `fx` command: |
| |
| ```bash |
| fx ide-query [--fuchsia-dir <path>] [--file <path>...] [args] |
| ``` |
| |
| To force a rebuild of the tool from source (useful during development), use the `--dev` flag: |
| |
| ```bash |
| fx ide-query --dev [args] |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Implementation Details |
| |
| The tool is implemented in Go and lives in `//scripts/cog/ide_query`. It uses a self-bootstrapping mechanism to ensure it remains fast and decoupled from the main Fuchsia build graph for developer workflows. |
