intellisense and code complete for DefinitelyTyped (TypeScript type definitions) on WebStorm IDE
Solution 1
That dialog is for JavaScript scope, not TypeScript scope (e.g. see mocha demo http://youtu.be/4mKiGkokyx8?t=1m19s). That is, Webstorm is using TypeScript definitions to give intellisence for JavaScript.
For TypeScript itself you need to include the definitions into your project manually (https://github.com/borisyankov/DefinitelyTyped/blob/master/angularjs/angular.d.ts) and reference them like you always have.
Solution 2
As basarat says in his answer, you need to include the definitions manually. The easiest way to do this is with tsd. Once installed (npm install -g tsd
), navigate to the directory you want to hold the typings, and install definition files (such as angular, in the following example) like this:
tsd query angular --action install
or, better yet:
tsd init
tsd query angular --save --action install
Note that you can do all this within Webstorm (alt-F12 opens a terminal window).

How can I get WebStorm IDE to give me code completion for libraries that I've downloaded.
As you can see
angularjs-DefinitelyTyped
andjQuery-DefinitelyTyped
have been downloaded.Now I believe that I have to reference the definition file in my .ts files.
But, where WebStorm saves the definition files so I can reference them in my code?
Thank you!
