If you’re working on a RESTful application and either developing REST APIs or using them in your code, you might already know about OpenAPI and Swagger. (more…)

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…)

There are several things WebStorm can do to help you find potential problems in your JavaScript code and improve its quality. First, there are dozens of smart built-in inspections that check your code as you type and offer various quick-fixes for the problems they detect. Second, you can see warnings and errors from linters like ESLint right in the editor. Third, you can use Flow in your project. One more option that we’re going to talk about in this blog post is using TypeScript for checking your JavaScript code. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript (more precisely, of its latest s

To help you keep the import section in a JavaScript or a TypeScript file clean and readable, WebStorm has an action called Optimize imports. It does several things at once: it removes any imports that are no longer used; it merges together multiple imports from the same file; it can sort members inside the import and sort imports by the module name. To run Optimize imports, use the shortcut Ctrl-Alt-O or find it in the Find Action popup (Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-A). Alternatively, you can just have WebStorm run it automatically before a commit. We’ll talk about ways to do that in a second.

This post is part of a series of posts covering features in WebStorm 9 EAP: WebStorm EAP is open! Live Edit updates in WebStorm 9 - What's new? JavaScript Postfix Completion Spy-js, our "secret agent", has done a great job at tracing, debugging and profiling front-end JavaScript code. With WebStorm 9 EAP, we're expanding its job: there is no back-end Node.js code our 007 can't infiltrate. As a refresher, spy-js was introduced with WebStorm 8. It allows tracing our code without resorting to console.log, debugging it without breakpoints and profiling it without any specialized too

One of the essential features of WebStorm’s editor is code completion. The way it is implemented in WebStorm is that it takes all JavaScript files in the project and goes through them, adding functions and methods to an internal index used for code completion suggestions. The index is automatically updated whenever existing files are changed or new files are added. JSDoc, used for documenting code, also plays an important role in making your coding experience better. It powers WebStorm autocompletion with additional details about parameters and their types. But what if all the li

Introduction What is the difference between Orem, Utah, USA; Munich, Germany; Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia; and St. Petersburg, Russia? Well, they are thousands of kilometers apart, span 3 climate zones from continental to subtropical, and only one of them is home to kangaroos. What do these places share in common? They are all home to the team behind WebStorm 8. But there are things more puzzling than that. For example, have you ever suspected it's possible to trace your code without console.log, debug it without breakpoints, and profile it without JavaScript execution engine specific

One of the evolutions in JavaScript development is the new TypeScript language, an open-source superset of JavaScript that allows us to write code in a typed language which compiles to JavaScript. At JеtВrаins wе wоrk tirеlеssly tо bring аbоut mоrе аnd bеttеr suрроrt fоr this lаnguаgе. WebStorm 6 introduces full support for the TypeScript language through 3 new features: File Watchers, Sourcemaps and general support for working with code. (more…)

In WebStorm 5.0 we've introduced new JavaScript static checks and editor intentions to improve your coding experience. Besides checks produced by JSDoc annotations described in the previous post, some fresh inspections for JSON, jQuery selectors and other contexts have been added. (more…)
