Authoring web apps requires that you blend several languages to create the final product - HTML, JavaScript, and CSS at a minimum. Additionally, we often have to deal with a server side language such as ASP.NET, PHP, Java, or Python, not to mention the database language. Having multiple languages such as these bundled into a solution can make it difficult to keep things consistent. That’s where a great style can help web developers. A great style is consistent, and makes the code more readable and maintainable. It’s definitely something that can make a huge difference in your day to day coding

HTML and JavaScript are the most popular programming languages today powering the internet. Whether desktop or mobile, a front-end is almost always required, and HTML and JavaScript are the only game in town for front-end web development. ASP.NET developers need to write HTML and JavaScript as part of their daily tasks. Because Rider is built with the WebStorm engine, you can quickly create robust web front-ends for any back-end. In this post, we’ll take a look at the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript related features that Rider has for building awesome front-ends. (more…)

What else is new in Rider 2017.2 EAP? Let's see! Open file or folder Not all code is in a solution or project. So we added the ability to open a file or folder from the Rider start screen, the File | Open menu and from the command line (bin\rider somejavascriptfile.js). Here's me working on our user group's static HTML website: (more…)

Here's a monthly dose of good news: you can now download a new Rider EAP build. Below is a quick summary of what's inside Rider EAP 19. Note that the build contains major improvements that we're hoping to describe in more detail next week. (more…)

Just like ReSharper, Rider supports language injections. In almost every project there are cases where we want to (or have to) embed a piece of code in a string literal. For example, pieces of HTML inside a JavaScript string, or a quick JSON fragment inside a C# string. Let's see how they work. Note: In this blog post, we'll look at some of the basics of language injections. They work similar in both Rider and ReSharper - check this deep-dive post on language injections in ReSharper to learn more. Mark as injected language Like all good things in Rider, Alt+Enter is where it starts. In

Since we first released the Early Access Preview (EAP) of Rider, our cross-platform IDE, we've been hard at work improving many aspects of it. We spent quite some time improving visible (and invisible) aspects of the editor. Let's look at some of the updates to code highlighting, folding and code completion. (more…)

ReSharper Ultimate 2016.3 introduces a new infrastructure for language injections in string literals, which enables ReSharper to treat particular string literal contents as a piece of code written in one of the supported programming languages: C# or ECMAScript regular expressions language, CSS, HTML, JSON or JavaScript. You can inject a language into a string literal in one of the following ways. Method 1: "Mark as injected language" context action When you open the Alt+Enter menu on a string literal, you’ll see a "Mark as injected language" item. In the submenu, choose one of the sup

Hello everyone. Last week we have published the second EAP build of ReSharper Ultimate 2016.2. As usual, there are some fixed issues and a couple of new features: Support of .NET Core RC2 projects, which means that ReSharper now correctly resolves project references and provides its core set of features (code inspections, code completion, navigation, search and refactorings) in projects of this type. Speaking about support of different project types and problems that arise here, ReSharper 2016.2 brings a universal clue to the problem of unresloved project references. While previou

Welcome to ReSharper Ultimate 2016.2 Early Access Program! Here's a quick summary of what is available in the initial EAP build: Initial support of ASP.NET Core 1.0 RC2, including support for tag helpers in terms of code completion, navigation, search and refactorings. At this point, ASP.NET Core web applications are supported if they're targeting .NET Framework but are not supported if they're targeting .NET Core. We're looking to improve this in subsequent builds. Assorted TypeScript support improvements such as generative code completion; improved Find Usages and Rename for union and

In the context of web development, CSS isn’t just something that you encounter in CSS files. CSS, when supported by ReSharper, permeates the structure of your web application, its constructs available in many places where its use is relevant. Here is an overview. Code Completion ReSharper 8 offers pervasive code completion for various CSS constructs not just in CSS, bot also both in C# (e.g., when used in a view engine) and in JavaScript. It is supported for known CSS attributes… as well as class references and also element references: Many other common document functions in

ReSharper 6 EAP has been available for about 1.5 months, and it's time to move on zooming into new features that this new version brings. We've announced that supporting JavaScript and CSS is one of the most important directions in ReSharper 6, and following an earlier post about JavaScript support, let's take a look at the second major functionality area for ReSharper 6: support for CSS. It is currently represented by the following features: Syntax/Color Highlighting and Palette ReSharper applies its own highlighting to CSS syntax including properties and functions:

Tonight in London Hadi Hariri and Sergey Coox have unveiled the early bits of the upcoming ReSharper 6 in front of DevCon London and JetBrains Community Night attendees. While you can be sure that more exciting announcements on the new ReSharper functionality is ahead, one thing is crystal clear: ReSharper 6 will provide first-class support for JavaScript and CSS. While there are currently no public builds available incorporating JavaScript support, you can expect ReSharper 6 Early Access Program to open in November, and November is very soon! Meanwhile, please bombard ReSharper issue t
