WebStorm Guide

Install WebStorm.

While it's a commercial IDE, it's pretty cheap and there's a 30-day free trial.

WebStorm requires very little configuration out of the box. Just browse to and open the WebStorm project included with CesiumJS. Most things a Web Developer would want are built-in. Whenever you open a file that has a plugin available, such as md, glsl, or .gitignore, WebStorm will ask if you want to install it. Simply say yes and off you go. While most of us still use git on the command-line, WebStorm includes excellent tools for merging, diffing, and managing branches as well.

Gulp Integration

CesiumJS's build scripts use gulp. WebStorm has excellent gulp integration for running tasks from the IDE. Just right-click on gulpfile.js in the Project tree and select Show Gulp Tasks, now you can double click on any task to run it. Even better, perpetual tasks like build-watch and jsHint-watch will get their own output tab that automatically updates.

WebStorm Plugins

The Cesium WebStorm plugin allows users to easily jump between source and spec files.

WebStorm Shortcuts

  • Ctrl-Shift-A - search for settings, shortcuts, or anything else you want to do.
  • Ctrl-Shift-N - search and open files in the workspace.
  • Ctrl-ALT-L - auto-format an entire file or the selected block of code.
  • Ctrl-Shift-F - bring up the global find dialog.
  • ALT-Shift-K - jump between source and spec file (using the Cesium WebStorm plugin).
