Decompiling

IntelliJ-Move provides integration with the aptos move decompile command.

Decompile a single bytecode file

  1. Open the Aptos Bytecode file (with the .mv extension). By default, the IDE will show the binary contents of the file.

    Bytecode File contents

    If Aptos CLI is configured correctly, notification will be shown at the top of the file, allowing to decompile it and show the source code. Underneath, aptos move decompile will be called.

  2. Click on Decompile into source code to see the original .move file. It will be created near the bytecode file with the name BYTECODE_FILENAME.move
