Unity is a game-development environment that is used to create 2D and 3D games and deploy them on multiple platforms. JetBrains Rider provides powerful support for Unity including: Unity-specific quick fixes, context actions and inspections, code completion and syntax highlighting in shader files, debugging Unity scripts, running and debugging Unity tests, profiling Unity games, refreshing assets, and much more.
- Rider ships with knowledge of the Unity API, and will mark classes, methods and fields that are implicitly used by Unity directly in the editor. And of course, Rider makes it easy to generate Unity event functions, either using the Generate menu or simply by typing, with autocompletion.
- The JetBrains Rider editor package integrates support for the JetBrains Rider.NET Integrated Development Environment (IDE), into the Unity Editor. This package provides an end-point for Rider to call different Unity APIs and to generate.csproj and.sln files, which Rider uses to implement support for Unity in its plug-in.
