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…)

As you may know from the previous post about JavaScript libraries in PhpStorm & WebStorm, the main benefit of specifying JavaScript libraries in your project is to populate a completion list with only relevant members. We have reorganized the configuration panel at Settings|JavaScript|Libraries, so it hopefully become easier to use. If you simply want to select a library for the whole project, check the corresponding box. For more complex library scopes configuration, click Manage Scopes... button. Also, for per-file scopes settings, you can use JavaScript file context menu trigg

More JS refactorings are coming in next
