Add frameworks (facets)

Last modified: 08 March 2021

For developing framework-specific applications, IntelliJ IDEA features facets. Facets contain libraries, dependencies, and technologies, and they provide you with additional UI elements for configuring framework-specific settings.

Note that not all facets are available out of the box. To be able to use some of them, you need to install a plugin for the necessary framework first. Refer to JetBrains Plugin Repository for more information on existing plugins.

IntelliJ IDEA can identify a file or a directory that is typical for a certain framework, and add the necessary facet for you. Once the facet is detected and added, IntelliJ IDEA will inform you about the missing configuration and will suggest the necessary actions.

If a facet is not detected automatically, you can add it manually. You can add more than one facet to a module.
