Using WebStorm IDE

New in package 166

Why external IDE?

  • Enables to put your source code into a source control system (you really want this for any non-trivial project)
  • Code navigation, autocompletion, cross-sources search, static code analysis and error highlighting, refactoring, spell-checking, etc. etc.
  • Debugging (upcoming)

Why WebStorm?

  • "The smartest JavaScript IDE"
  • Extensible through plugins, which allows us to do some cool stuff
