Finding your way around web projects is now even more efficient with tools that allow for:
- Pro-grade navigation: Use dedicated gutter icons for Jump to… actions, recursive calls, and TypeScript source mapping.
- Core web refactorings: Perform essential code changes with reliable Rename refactorings and actions (Introduce variable, Change signature, Move members, and more).
- Quality control: Maintain high code standards with professional-grade inspections, intentions, and quick-fixes.
- Code cleanup: Identify redundant code blocks through JavaScript and TypeScript duplicate detection.
Frameworks and integrated tools
With the added essential support for some of the most popular frontend frameworks and tools, you will have access to:
- Project initialization: Create new web projects quickly using the built-in Vite generator.
- Standard tooling: Standardize code quality with integrated support for Prettier, ESLint, TSLint, and StyleLint.
