IntelliJ web application support - a missing piece
Hi.
IntelliJ is aiming more and more to the web application developer. With
JSR45, JSP support, web module configuration, etc.
One missing piece for web development is JavaScript. Client side JavaScript
makes things dynamic and has a lot of usage in web application.
Currently the only relation to JavaScript is keyword highlighting of .js
files.
What I would like to see is application of the Java engine relevant parts to
JavaScript, so that syntax errors will be visible, curly braces, automatic
indentation, code style, etc.
The next step is in the spirit of the PropertiesEditor plugin that allows
finding usages of properties in Java and non Java files. It would be great
if I could put the cursor on some JavaScript function and search for usages,
or rename it. The PropertiesEditor plug-in does all that and more for
properties in .properties files, and it's been a great addition to the IJ
functionality.
The 3rd step, which the PE plug-in didn't implement yet but that I would
like to see both for property files and for JavaScript is inspections and
code analysis just like we have for Java. This will show all of the unused
functions (or properties), for example.
Anyone else would like to be able to do JavaScript with the same grace we've
been doing Java?
