Once you figured it out you realize there is no time to document it now since you lost all that time figuring out what it was for and you need to move on.
#WEBSTORM LIVE EDIT CODE#
The end meaning never and when you need that code again you spend all that time figuring out what the function was for. If there are other variables defined, you can use tab to navigate to them - no need to click.Documenting your code is always a hassle and usually left till the end. Open a file that honors the context you defined and type your shortcut, press the defined expansion key and watch your template appear for you! If you defined any variables, the cursor will be placed where the first variable should be entered. Options: define which key will allow you to expand the template and reformat it, according to the style settings defined on WebStorm > Preferences > Editor > Code Style.Context: choose in which language or pieces of code WebStorm should be sensitive to the Template.Take advantage of the powerful Live Template Variables that allow you to replace them with your desired text upon scaffolding. Template text: this is the code fragment to be scaffolded upon invocation.Description: tells you what the template does when invoked.Abbreviation: the shortcut you’ll type into the editor to invoke your template.Let me walk you briefly through the elements that make a Live Template a productivity success: I then created a new Live template within it by clicking on the + sign again, but choosing Live Template this time. I created a category to bundle my ngrx Live Templates by clicking on the + sign and choosing Template Group. You’ll see that WebStorm has already bundled the predefined Templates into categories. File > Settings > Editor > Live Templates.WebStorm > Preferences > Editor > Live Templates.To create a Live Template, navigate to the following locations: WebStorm already comes with some predefined Live Templates that you can modify to fit your development style. When you find yourself writing certain patterns of code repeatedly, create a Live Template to quickly scaffold the block of code. WebStorm and Angular Tip 7: Use Live Templates WebStorm skips the RxJS module and imports the Observable submodule automatically for you!Įxtra tip: format input to use space inside curly brackets in Preferences > Editor > Code style > TypeScript – Spaces – Within – ES6 import/export braces. For example, instead of having: import from 'rxjs/Observable' WebStorm will skip the specified path during the automatic import. When importing submodules that don’t require the entire module to be imported, add that module to the Do not import exactly from list. This will use the Node.js module resolution strategy, instead of TypeScript’s classic module resolution strategy. If you decide to roll up your exports using a barrel index.ts file to import your components (read more about the Barrel technique) then you can use use directory import (Node-style module resolution). For projects that require it, you can instruct WebStorm to calculate import paths relative to the tsconfig.json file location. WebStorm gives you other specialized options to handle your imports.
WebStorm will create a new import statement at the top of the document for you, or add the construct to an existing import group that’s using the same source library. WebStorm will either suggest the construct to import through the AutoComplete context menu, or highlight the construct and give you the option to import it by pressing option + enter. What’s fantastic about WebStorm is that you don’t have to type these import statements yourself! When you need to use a construct that would usually be imported, just type it where you need it. It’s also the method used for projects generated with the Angular CLI. This setting will satisfy most projects and avoid unnecessary path editing. WebStorm and Angular Tip 6: Import Path Calculationīy default, WebStorm will resolve your import paths relative to the file.
Let’s explore these tips.īefore we get started: when making changes to settings, remember that WebStorm allows you to change Settings/Preferences at an IDE scope and at a project scope separately.
