Inlay Hints

Inlay hints are special markers that appear in the editor and provide you with additional information about your code, like the names of the parameters that a called method expects. Other types of hints inform you about annotations, method parameters, usages, and so on (depending on the language).

In inlay hints settings, you can configure what types of information you want to get in hints.

Change inlay hints appearance

  1. In the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , go to Editor | Color Scheme | Language Defaults, then select Inline hints.

  2. Select the inlay hint type and state, and configure the font color and effects as required.

  • Type annotations: show type annotations. You can configure cases in which you want to show type annotations:

    • Variables and fields

    • Parameters in parentheses

    • Non-parenthesized single parameter

    • Function return types

    type.annotations

TypeScript

SQL

  • Join Cardinality: display the numerical relationship between rows of one table and rows in the other. Common cardinalities include one-to-one (1<->1), one-to-many (1<->1..n), many-to-many(1..n<->1..n), and optional (0..n). The optional cardinality appears when the referring field is nullable.

    You can configure inlay hints for the following types of JOIN:

    • INNER JOIN
