The guys over at DefinitelyType created a repository for high quality TypeScript type definitions. Using DefinitelyTyped with plain JavaScript
But there is a middle ground, that is very simple to take, and that many developers don't know about. Or you could just be working on a 'legacy' project that was written in plain old JavaScript and migrating to TypeScript just isn't in the budget or there isn't enough know-how in the team.
Java visual studio 2015 intellisense not working free#
You could switch to TypeScript, which -as a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript- allows for almost the same type of tooling experience you are used to when using Visual Studio with C#.īut, there ain't no such thing as a free meal. And I how do I miss IntelliSense support, like you get with C# or Java.īut there are a couple of things you can do to minimize that pain. But I do have to admit there a couple of 'pains', especially when making application wide changes on huge projects. Gulp.I love everything about being a front-end JavaScript developer the flexibility of a dynamic language, the JavaScript syntax, the immediate result, etc. Here is an updated version of the Styles task from the Gulp file in my previous post: // Combine and minify css files and output fonts Suddenly, like magic, everything works again. All we need to do is make sure it is included in the project. There is no need to reference this file anywhere. We can modify our gulp file to also output a non-minified version of the combined CSS file and include that in our project. Unfortunately Visual Studio seems to ignore any minified CSS files! This seems very strange to me but at least there is an easy solution. So what’s up with CSS? Why isn’t CSS Intellisense working? According to Microsoft, VS 2013 is supposed to inspect any CSS included in your project and make classes from those CSS files available via Intellisense in the HTML editor. Even though our project only includes a couple combined and minified JS files, everything still works exactly as expected. As such, jQuery intellisense works just as it did when referencing the packages from Nuget. With Autosync enabled by default, the included files are automatically added to the _references.js file.
Visual studio handles this nicely with the example in the article.
Intellisense for JavaScript files is handled by the _references.js file. Let’s dig into this a little deeper then… JavaScript Intellisense This was especially puzzling because it appears that JavaScript intellisense was in-tact. I was not getting any CSS intellisense for the Bootstrap classes. So I set out to investigate this and sure enough I was also seeing the same problem on my machine. He noticed that after using this approach, Visual Studio was no longer giving him the expected Intellisense for Bootstrap CSS classes. One reader asked me how this approach affected Intellisense for the referenced package. As I outlined in my previous blog post, I have recently started including client side (CSS / JavaScript) packages via Bower and Gulp instead of Nuget.
