PhpStorm is a polyglot IDE: it understands PHP, JS, CSS, HTML, and many other languages and will provide you with smart interpretation to assist you with writing your code. But what about human languages? English is the only language supported out of the box, and up until recently, you could only check your spelling in PhpStorm against a plain list of words. This changes with PhpStorm 2017.3.2, since we are introducing support for Hunspell dictionaries. (more…)

PhpStorm provides native support for Twig templates, and with version 2017.3 it just got better. The Twig formatting mechanism now handles complex structures properly. It provides correct indentation for your code blocks and preserves it when copying and pasting code fragments between files. (more…)

Live Edit has been in PhpStorm for a while. It allows us to change HTML, CSS and JavaScript code in the IDE and see the changes in the browser immediately, without reloading. PhpStorm 8 expands on this by adding Live Edit for Node.js. We can run our application, work on our code and automatically update the running application, without restarting the Node.js server. Let's see how this works! (more…)

In many codebases, small islands of different programming languages are being used in code, for example chunks of JavaScript written in a PHP string, or portions of HTML in a JavaScript variable, or database queries inside a string. With PhpStorm 8, we've enhanced the Language Injections feature to make working with different language fragments a breeze. Here's an example. We're generating an HTML e-mail body here in which we're using several PHP variables and so forth. PhpStorm recognizes that the string holds HTML mixed with PHP and provides syntax highlighting, code completion and naviga

We are pleased to announce Grunt support in PhpStorm 8 EAP!

Grunt has a large number of plugins available that can automate anything from minification and compilation to unit testing, linting and so on. Let's see how we can get Grunt to work in our favorite IDE! (more…)

Love AngularJS for building web application front-ends? PhpStorm makes working with AngularJS as easy and fun as working with any other language that is supported by the IDE! The only thing we have to do for having autocompletion, quick documentation, navigation and support for custom directives and routing is installing the AngularJS plugin in PhpStorm. Why not start with that and take it from there? (more…)

Earlier this week, we released the PhpStorm 8 EAP with a number of new features and improvements. We hear what you say on Twitter and on our issue tracker and that's why we're including your number one request: Multiple Selection. Let's see how we can work with them! (more…)

AppCode is known as an intelligent Objective-C IDE that helps iOS/OS X developers create outstanding apps with ease and pleasure. It provides you with all the advantages of coding assistance, refactorings, project navigation, code analysis and more. But did you know that all of these are available not only for Objective-C? Well, you may have heard AppCode can deal with C and C++ with the addition of several specific features like C++11, libc++ and Boost support. But, you hardly knew that you can also develop HTML, XML, JavaScript and CSS parts for your application in AppCode. Or did you? C
