Auto import is one of the most-used features in WebStorm because, as its name suggests, it just works automatically and adds required imports as you write your code. (more…)

Just an hour ago, we published our first EAP build for ReSharper Ultimate 2020.1. Jump in and preview what’s coming in 2020.1! Since everybody seems interested in performance, let’s start with the performance news. There were tons of changes in the ReSharper architecture that bring us closer and closer to running all the core ReSharper features out of the Visual Studio process. All these modifications took place under the hood, so you won’t notice any changes in the UI/UX. If you missed the ReSharper 2020 Roadmap with news about our progress on moving ReSharper out of process, now is a

Starting from ReSharper 2019.3, we added more colors settings for highlighting code from Tools | Options | Fonts and Colors to adjust code highlighting more precisely. Let’s take a look at the new color options that are available! Before getting started, make sure ReSharper's Color Identifiers settings is enabled. You'll see the setting under ReSharper | Options | Code Inspection | Settings. (more…)

Rider contains many features for styling code so that it’s easy to read, and therefore easy to understand and maintain that code. This post is part of a series around finding a coding style that fits you like a glove, and how Rider can help: Find your perfect coding style using Rider Find your perfect C# style using Rider Find your perfect database development style using Rider Find your perfect web development style using Rider In this post, we’ll look at how you can create a style that works for all your database programming. For the purposes of this post, we’ll focus on Micr

What does C# code with good style look like? While it depends somewhat on the individual or team, there are a few popular staples of style when it comes to C#, and you'll read about those here. Regardless of what’s popular or recommended, code with good style always has two qualities: It's easy to read and consistent. Consistency is key in programming, and that really shows when it comes to programming style.

A coding style is a way to consistently write code in a particular way. Style is all about readability. A good style should make it smooth, easy, and pleasant for you and others to read and modify. Code that’s easy to read is more maintainable and helps reduce errors. Everyone has a coding style that they fine tune throughout their coding careers. Some developers spend years working on getting their style just perfect. Most of the time, we work on a team, so our style has to blend in with the overall style of the team we’re on as well. Fortunately for us, we can use Rider to work on perfect

The latest ReSharper 2019.1 Early Access Preview (EAP) and Rider 2019.1 EAP builds come with a number of improvements to formatting and code cleanup. ReSharper can export code style settings to EditorConfig. In the editor, pressing backspace returns to the proper indent position in the editor. Analyze/optimize references now works for SDK projects and helps us remove unused package references. And there are a few more things, such as a new built-in code cleanup profile for applying code style settings. Let's have a look, shall we? DOWNLOAD ReSharper 2019.1 EAP (more…)

PhpStorm 2019.1 EAP build 191.5109.15 is now available! This build delivers code cleanup for PHP, ability to define the order of tags in PHPDoc, improvements for Introduce Constant and Extract Method refactorings, and even more! You can download it on the website or via JetBrains Toolbox App. Or, if you have the previous PhpStorm 2019.1 EAP build (191.4738.10) installed, you should soon get a notification in the IDE about a patch update.

We have already looked at the many new and improved features of Rider! Let's look at even more available in the Rider 2018.3 version. We are going to look at what's new in Code Completion with regards to Package references, configuration files and more! In addition, we will also look at changes with how Rider recognizes and displays TODO patterns. (more…)

Code analysis is an important technique to keep our code clean, readable and free of defects. Besides its own code analysis features, Rider 2018.1 started to add support for Roslyn Analyzers, such as xunit.analyzers, which seamlessly blend into the familiar way of highlighting code inspections, configuring their severities or applying related quick-fixes. In Rider 2018.2, issues with .NET Core toolsets have meanwhile been fixed. But more importantly, Rider 2018.2 further improves the integration with Roslyn Analyzers by adding support for ruleset files and StyleCop.json configuration files

ReSharper and Rider come with code analysis and quick-fixes for JavaScript/TypeScript. In our latest 2018.2 releases, we're extending the built-in code analysis rules with support for JSLint, ESLint, and TSLint static analysis tools! All of these linters help ensure our JavaScript and TypeScript code is readable and maintainable. Additionally, they check for functional errors in code as well, helping us catch errors before going to production. Last but not least: JSLint, ESLint, and TSLint allow developing custom rules - rules which can now be included in ReSharper and Rider's code analysis

Probably everyone has faced this issue once or twice: we’ve gone through all these options to find some proper formatting and code style settings. Most of our code looks pretty and clean now. But then, there are these few cases, where the formatter leaves our code in a rather unreadable or inconvenient shape. ReSharper 2018.2 to the rescue! It introduces a new button Save as comments in the Configure Format dialog, which allows us to make ad-hoc adjustments with formatter comments: Formatter comments are supported by ReSharper and Rider 2018.2. However, the Configure Format dialog is
