WebStorm 2017.1.1 is now available
We’re glad to announce that WebStorm 2017.1.1, the first bug-fix update for the recently released WebStorm 2017.1 is now available! It addresses the issues we found in the initial release and brings lots of great improvements.
A patch update should be available promptly for the users of WebStorm 2017.1, 2016.3.6 or 2016.3.5. If you’re using an earlier version, give WebStorm 2017.1 and its new features a try and download it from our website for a free 30-day evaluation.
Completion in webpack 2 configuration files
To help you migrate to webpack 2, WebStorm now provides code completion and documentation for options in the webpack.config.js file.
More flexibility with TypeScript imports
For some modules you might want to import their submodules instead of the entire module. For examples, for RxJS you might prefer to use import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable' instead of the more general import {Observable} from 'rxjs'.
To make WebStorm follow these rules when automatically adding imports, in Preferences | Editor | Code Style | TypeScript – Imports you can now specify the exact paths the IDE should avoid. Instead of them the IDE will look for alternative paths to import the same symbol.
If you are not happy with some specific import, hit Alt-Enter on it and select Change import… . You will see a list of other valid paths for this symbol.
Resolve roots in JavaScript projects
We added a bunch of improvements to the way WebStorm works when you want to resolve imports from several roots (for example, in a project that uses enhanced webpack module resolution) and have several project directories marked as Resource root for that.
Enable “Use paths relative the project, resource or sources roots” in Preferences | Editor | Code Style | JavaScript – Imports to make WebStorm use paths relative to this folder (or these folders) when generating imports.
In IntelliJ IDEA in JavaScript project make directories you want to resolve from as Sources roots.
