New in 4.0: Easier JavaScript Library Scope Configuration

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Konstantin Ulitin

As you may know from the previous post about JavaScript libraries in PhpStorm & WebStorm, the main benefit of specifying JavaScript libraries in your project is to populate a completion list with only relevant members. We have reorganized the configuration panel at Settings|JavaScript|Libraries, so it hopefully become easier to use.

If you simply want to select a library for the whole project, check the corresponding box. For more complex library scopes configuration, click Manage Scopes… button.

Also, for per-file scopes settings, you can use JavaScript file context menu triggered by right-clicking in the editor. Note that some items are disabled because their scope is set at upper level (project or directory).

Try out latest PhpStorm & WebStorm 4.0 EAP. We’d appeciate to hear responses from you in our issue tracker ;) .

Attaching the sources of Node.js core modules

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Sergey Simonchik

When developing a Node.js application it can be convenient to have code completion, validation and debugging capabilities for Node core modules (fs, path, http, etc).

Unfortunately, these modules are compiled into the binary. So you have to download the Node.js source code and attach it to the project (all the required sources are located in the lib/ folder). But every time you decide to upgrade your Node installation, you have to repeat these steps – and don’t forget to detach previously attached sources to avoid confusion in code completion and navigation!

Well, from now on there’s an easier way to attach the Node.js sources to your project.

  • PHPUnit tests are now generated using phpunit-skelgen, see WI-9340
  • CSS editor got a significant speedup on large files
