WebStorm 2016.3 EAP, 163.4396: Create React app

WebStorm 2016.3 EAP build (163.4396) is now available! You can download it here. Unfortunately, there’re no patch-updates available this time.

Create React App

Create React App is an officially recommended way to create new React apps. And now you can create new apps using Create React App right from the IDE Welcome screen!

create-react-app

Make sure that you have create-react-app installed globally on your computer, for that run npm install -g create-react-app. Then to start your new project, double click on the start task in the npm tasks tool window to run it. That’s it!

Improvements in Angular 2 support

When providing code completion and resolve for methods in the Angular 2 templates, WebStorm now understands available type info and therefore provides more precise results.

ng2-methods-completion

In addition to that, in the TypeScript projects all compiled JavaScript files are now automatically excluded, so that they won’t appear in resolve, find usages, search results, etc. Please let us know what you think about it.

You can find a more detailed list of issues addressed in this EAP build in the Release notes.
