The Toolbox App is the easiest way to get the EAP builds and keep both your stable WebStorm version and any EAP versions up to date. Or you can download the EAP builds from our website.

Here are some of the highlights of WebStorm 2019.3 EAP #8 (build 193.4932.10). For the full list of issues fixed in this update, see the Release Notes.

Documentation in Vue.js Projects

With WebStorm 2019.3, you can now check out documentation for components and directives defined in Vue.js and in some popular component libraries.

The IDE uses the information provided in the web-types.json file shipped with the library. At the moment, Quasar version 1.1.1 and above ships the most detailed documentation. For Vuetify version 2.1.7, you can now see type info and default values for the attributes in the documentation popup. Docs for BootstrapVue are coming soon, with the 2.1.0 update. For Vue.js, we’ve compiled the docs ourselves using the information from the website.

So here’s what the documentation looks like if you press F1 on the name of a component or directive in your code:

You can also press F1 when the completion popup is open:

To jump to the extended doc and examples on the library’s website, press Shift-F1 or click the link at the bottom of the popup.

Please report any issues on our issue tracker, and stay tuned for the upcoming release announcement!
