About JetBrains Rider Editor

​ 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.

This package ensures that IDE features like autocomplete suggestions and flagging dependency conflicts work in Rider. It uses .cproj and .sln files which store information about your project such as:

• Versioning information
• Build files
• Platform requirements
• Web server or database settings

Not all code in Unity is directly visible to code editors, particularly when using packages. This is because packages don’t provide their own .csproj files, and Unity doesn’t create them for installed packages by default. This means that IDE features like autocomplete suggestions and flagging dependency conflicts do not work with code in these packages. The purpose of this package is to produce the .csproj files that make these features possible by default when you use Rider.
