#PHPSTORM NODE JS HOW TO#
Here are some npm packages I use with PHPStorm :ĭefinitely use webpack-dev-server Here is how to install this great automation npm package.

Npm install postcss-simple-vars postcss-nested autoprefixer -save-devĪll these packages come from - you can search there for a package you are interested in.įor example if something happens to our PC (some sort of a crash), we can always recover our project by cloning the project from GitHub ( learn how to use GitHub and Git with PHPStorm IDE) and after cloning the project - the package.json file (the resipe of our project) will be inside and after typing in the terminal npm install all of the npm packages will be installed/recovered again! Great! :-) or install couple of necessary npm packages separated by space:

Here is another example (installing normalize.css): In this case lodash is the name of the package. Next, to install an npm package type in the terminal:

Npm's file package.json is kind of a recipe/grocery list of our project with npm packages dependencies you are installing. It will also create package.json file with the dependencies information. In your project folder this will create node_modules folder with all the packages you are installing. Then, in your project folder by using PHPStorm's terminal (or the Window's cmd) you need to initialize npm. By the time they fix it, 5.1 will be out and something else will break. For example, WebStorm 11.0.2 hangs when trying to debug NodeJS 5.0+ projects (30+ seconds before hitting breakpoint). I could however exclude bower_components and vendor.Firstly you need to install node.js on your PC (download from HERE) To check whether it is installed properly, you will need to check node js version in cmd (or in PHPStorm's terminal) by typing: The Jetbrains team do an admirable job attempting to keep up with support for the features they wrap, but they are running an un-winnable race. To set up a WSL dev environment, see Set up your Node.js development environment with WSL 2.
#PHPSTORM NODE JS CODE#
Creating a specific Scope (in PhpStorm Settings), that includes all files except the node_modules folder, to use when I manually run Code Inspection: It is impossible to exclude the node_modules folder, because my IDE recognizes it as a module "I think" (it has next to it in the Project explorer). Many Node.js packages and frameworks are created with a nix environment in mind and most Node.js apps are deployed on Linux, so developing on WSL ensures consistency between your development and production environments.Note that the Node.js home directory must be open for editing. To specify a different folder, click and choose the relevant folder in the dialog that opens. For Docker containers, PhpStorm by default suggests the node location. Marking the folders as excluded: This does not work because the folders are totally excluded from the project and redirection and inspection does not work at all For Vagrant instances, PhpStorm by default suggests the /usr/bin/node location.But I don't want the internal code of my node modules to be included in code inspection, because it takes a lot of time to inspect all the modules, and they are supposed to be ok, so I don't need to inspect them. Also autocomplete a method, when I press Ctrl+Space.

I also want to be warned if I write a node module method wrong, or if it does not exist.

To make it more clear: I want to be able to Ctrl+click on methods of my node modules and be redirected to the source code of these modules. It is included in Autocomplete or Code Navigation (Ctrl+click on methods).It is included in the code inspection as far as references in my own code to the modules is concerned.It is not included in the code inspection as far as the modules' internal code is concerned.So the best way to handle nodemodules is relying on the IDE default procedures. I am wondering what are the best practices for configuring the IDE to deal with the node_modules (or bower_components or vendor for my PHP) folder, so that: As it's mentioned in help, PhpStorm auto-excludes nodemodules folder from indexing for better performance, adding the direct dependencies listed in package.json to javascript libraries for completion, etc. I have been setting up my development environment for my Laravel/AngularJS project.
