I am doing a REST API tutorial where I use a JavaScript file to make AJAX calls to the API endpoints. I have pretty much everything built out but the JavaScript won't run and I think its because PyCharm's Community Edition doesn't allow JS files. I am able to run CSS files. Any answers would help, thank you!

With PyCharm, you can develop modern web, mobile, and desktop applications with JavaScript and Node.js.

PyCharm also supports React, Angular, Vue.js, and other frameworks and provides tight integration with various tools for web development.

JavaScript-aware coding assistance includes completion for keywords, labels, variables, parameters, and functions, error and syntax highlighting, formatting, numerous code inspections and quick-fixes, as well as common and JavaScript-specific refactoring. PyCharm also integrates with JavaScript linters and the Flow type checker.

With PyCharm built-in debugger, you can debug both your client-side and server-side code and even run JavaScript code snippets in the interactive debugger console. Learn more from Debug JavaScript in Chrome.

PyCharm integrates with Jest, Karma, Protractor, Cucumber, and Mocha testing frameworks. PyCharm supports running and debugging tests as well as navigation between tests and subjects or between a failed test and the fragment of code that caused the problem.

On this page you will find a short Getting Started Guide that will walk you step by step from creating a web application to debugging and testing it.

Pycharm Community Javascript

Before you start

Make sure the JavaScript and TypeScript bundled plugin is enabled on the Settings/Preferences | Plugins page, see Managing plugins for details.

Creating a new application

  1. Click Create New Project on the Welcome screen or select File | New | Project from the main menu. The New Project dialog opens.
  2. In the left-hand pane, choose any project type that is aimed for JavaScript application development, for example, Angular CLI, AngularJS, React App, or React Native.

  3. In the right-hand pane, specify the path to the folder where the project-related files will be stored.

  4. Expand More settings and specify other required project options.

Starting with an existing JavaScript application

If you are going to continue developing an existing JavaScript application, open it in PyCharm, choose the JavaScript version to use, and configure the libraries in it. Optionally download the required npm dependencies.

Open the application sources that are already on your machine

  • Click Open on the Welcome screen or select File | Open from the main menu. In the dialog that opens, select the folder where your sources are stored.

Check out the application sources from your version control

  1. Click Get from VCS on the Welcome screen or select VCS | Get from Version Control from the main menu.

  2. In the invoked dialog, select your version control system from the list and specify the repository to check out the application sources from.

Choosing the JavaScript language version

To get reliable and efficient coding assistance, you need to specify the language version that will be used in all JavaScript files of your project by default.

  1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Languages and Frameworks | JavaScript. The JavaScript page opens.

  2. From the list, choose one of the supported JavaScript language versions:

    • ECMAScript 6+: This version adds support for the features introduced in ECMAScript 2015-2020 and for JSX syntax as well as some current proposals to the standard.

    • Flow: This version adds support for the Flow syntax.

Using multiple JavaScript versions

If you are working on an application that uses both ECMAScript 5.1 and a newer version of ECMAScript, the easiest way is to choose the highest language version for the whole project from the list on the JavaScript page.

  1. On the JavaScript page, click next to the JavaScript language version list. The JavaScript Language Versions dialog opens.

  2. Click and in the dialog that opens select the folder where you need a custom language version. PyCharm brings you back to the JavaScript Language Versions dialog where the selected folder is shown in the Path field.

  3. From the Language list, choose the language version for the files in the selected folder. In all the other JavaScript files in the project PyCharm will use the version chosen on the JavaScript page.

JSX syntax in JavaScript code

If you are using JSX syntax in your JavaScript code, enable ECMAScript 6+.

  • In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Languages and Frameworks | JavaScript, and select ECMAScript 6+ from the JavaScript language version list.

  • To be warned when JSX syntax is used by mistake, open the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Editor | Inspections, and enable the React JSX syntax inspection under JavaScript and TypeScript | General node. Use the search field to locate the inspection.

    Optionally, configure the inspection severity and scope. Learn more from Code inspections.

Downloading project dependencies

If your application uses some tools, libraries, or frameworks, download the required packages. To manage your project dependencies, you can use npm, Yarn 1, or Yarn 2, see npm and Yarn for details.

Install a package in an empty project

  • In the embedded Terminal (Alt+F12), type:

    npm install <package name>.

If you already have a package.json file in your project

  • Right-click the package.json file in the editor or in the Project tool window and choose Run 'npm install' from the context menu.

  • Alternatively, run npm install in the TerminalAlt+F12.

Before you start, make sure you have Node.js on your computer.

Configuring code completion for project dependencies

To provide code completion for project dependencies, PyCharm automatically creates a node_modules library. In PyCharm, a library is a file or a set of files whose functions and methods are added to PyCharm's internal knowledge in addition to the functions and methods that PyCharm retrieves from the project code that you edit. See Configure JavaScript libraries and Code completion for details and examples.

Viewing parameter hints

Pycharm Community Javascript

Parameter hints show the names of parameters in methods and functions to make your code easier to read. By default, parameter hints are shown only for values that are literals or function expressions but not for named objects.

Configure parameter hints

  1. Open the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S and go to Editor | Inlay Hints | JavaScript.

  2. Select Parameter hints from the list, make sure the Show parameter hints checkbox is selected, and then specify the context where you want parameter hints shown.

  3. For some methods and functions, PyCharm does not show parameter hints in any context. Click Exclude list.. to view these methods and functions, possibly enable parameter hints for them, or add new items to the list.

To hide parameter hints for all types of values, clear the Show parameter name hints checkbox. Learn more from.

Auto-import in JavaScript

PyCharm can generate import statements for modules, classes, components, and any other symbols that are exported. If you are using ES6 in your project, PyCharm can add missing import statements on the fly, when you complete ES6 symbols.

For earlier JavaScript versions or when auto-import on completion is disabled, PyCharm marks the symbol as unresolved and shows a tooltip with the suggested quick-fix:

Alternatively, press Alt+Enter: Control port devices driver download for windows 10.

If there's more than one possible source of import, PyCharm shows a list of suggestions:

Learn more from Choosing the JavaScript language version.

PyCharm can also generate import statements for symbols defined in the project’s dependencies. Auto-import works for symbols from packages that contain TypeScript definition files (like in moment or redux) or sources written as ES modules.

Configure auto-import

  1. To automatically add ES6 import statements on code completion, open the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Editor | General | Auto Import, and select the Add ES6 imports on code completion checkbox in the TypeScript/JavaScript area.

  2. To configure the appearance of import statements, open the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Editor | Code Style | JavaScript, and use the controls in the Imports tab, see Imports tab for details.

Configuring syntax highlighting

You can configure JavaScript-aware syntax highlighting according to your preferences and habits.

  1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Editor | Color Scheme | JavaScript.

  2. Select the color scheme, accept the highlighting settings inherited from defaults or customize them as described in Configuring colors and fonts.

Running JavaScript in browser

  1. In the editor, open the HTML file with the JavaScript reference. This HTML file does not necessarily have to be the one that implements the starting page of the application.

  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose View | Open in Browser from the main menu or press Alt+F2. Then select the desired browser from the list.

    • Hover your mouse pointer over the code to show the browser icons bar: . Click the icon that indicates the desired browser.

Debugging JavaScript

Pycharm Community Javascript

PyCharm provides a built-in debugger for your client-side JavaScript code that works with Chrome.

You can also debug your client-side JavaScript in Firefox, version 36 and later. However it is strongly recommended that you use Chrome or any other browser of the Chrome family. With PyCharm, you can debug JavaScript applications running on the built-in server, on an external server, or on a remote server. For details, see Debug JavaScript in Chrome and Debug JavaScript in Firefox.

In PyCharm, a library is a file or a set of files whose functions and methods are added to PyCharm's internal knowledge in addition to the functions and methods that PyCharm retrieves from the project code that you edit. In the scope of a project, its libraries by default are write-protected.

PyCharm uses libraries only to enhance coding assistance (that is, code completion, syntax highlighting, navigation, and documentation lookup). Please note that a library is not a way to manage your project dependencies.

Using TypeScript community stubs (TypeScript definition files)

TypeScript community stubs are also known as TypeScript definition files, or TypeScript declaration files, or DefinitelyTyped stubs, or just d.ts files.

In PyCharm, DefinitelyTyped stubs can be configured and used as libraries, which is in particular helpful in the following cases:

  • To improve code completion, resolve symbols for a library or a framework that is too sophisticated for PyCharm static analysis, and add type information for such symbols.

  • To resolve globally defined symbols from test frameworks.

The example below shows a piece of code from an Express application where the post() function is not resolved:

PyCharm successfully resolves post() after you install the suggested TypeScript definition file:

PyCharm lets you download TypeScript definition files right from the editor, using an intention action, or you can do it on the Settings: JavaScript Libraries page.

Download TypeScript definitions using an intention action

  • Position the caret at the require statement with this library or framework, press Alt+Enter, and choose Install TypeScript definitions for better type information:

    PyCharm downloads the type definitions for the library and adds them to the list of libraries on the JavaScript. Libraries page:

Download TypeScript definitions in the Settings/Preferences dialog

Pycharm Debugger Tutorial

  1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Languages and Frameworks | JavaScript | Libraries.

  2. On the Settings: JavaScript Libraries page that opens, click Download and in the Download Library dialog that opens, select the required library, and click Download and Install.

    PyCharm downloads the type definitions for the selected library and shows them in the External Libraries node in the Project view.

Optionally

  • PyCharm enables the downloaded type definitions in the scope of the current project. You can change this scope as described in Configuring the scope of a library below. See also Example: Configuring the scope for HTML and Node.js Core libraries.

Configuring Node.js Core library

To get code completion and reference resolution for fs, path, http, and other core modules that are compiled into the Node.js binary, you need to configure the Node.js Core module sources as a JavaScript library.

Configure Node.js Core

Css
  1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Languages and Frameworks | Node.js and NPM.

  2. Select the Coding assistance for Node.js checkbox.

    Note that the Node.js Core library is version-specific. So if you change the version of your Node.js on the Node.js and NPM page, you need to select the checkbox again. After that PyCharm creates a new library for this new version.

Configuring node_modules library

To provide code completion for project dependencies, PyCharm creates a node_modules library automatically so Node.js modules are kept in your project but no inspections are run against them, which improves performance.

Community

In the Project tool window, the node_modules is also marked as a library:

However, the node_modules library contains only the modules that are listed in the dependencies object of your project package.json file. PyCharm does not include the dependencies of dependencies into the node_modules library but actually excludes them from the project.

Configuring the scope of a library

From time to time you may notice that PyCharm suggests irrelevant completion, for example, Node.js APIs in your client-side code. This happens because by default PyCharm uses a library for completion in the entire project folder. PyCharm lets you tune code completion by configuring scopes for libraries.

Configure the scope of a library

  1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to Languages and Frameworks | JavaScript | Libraries. The Settings: JavaScript Libraries page that opens shows a list of all the already available libraries.

  2. Select the required library, clear the Enabled checkbox next to it, and click Manage Scopes. The JavaScript Libraries. Usage Scope dialog opens.

  3. Firefox microsoft teams. Click and select the files or folders that you want to include in the library scope. PyCharm brings you back to the JavaScript Libraries Usage Scopes dialog where the Path field shows the selected files or folders.

  4. For each added file or a folder, from the Library list, select the library which you are configuring.

Example: Configuring the scope for HTML and Node.js Core libraries

When working on a full-stack JavaScript application in PyCharm, you often notice that code completion suggests some Node.js APIs in your client-side code and DOM APIs in the Node.js code. This happens because the HTML library with DOM APIs and the Node.js Core library with Node.js APIs are by default enabled in the whole project. To get rid of irrelevant completion suggestions, you need to configure the scope for these libraries.

Configure the scopes of the HTML and Node.js Core libraries

  1. In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, go to JavaScript under Languages and Frameworks, then click Libraries. The Settings: JavaScript Libraries page opens showing all the libraries that are configured for the current project.

  2. Clear the Enabled checkboxes next to HTML and Node.js Core items.

  3. Click Manages Scopes. The JavaScript Libraries Usage Scopes dialog opens.

  4. To configure the scope for the HTML library, click , select the folders with the client-side code, and then choose HTML from the Library list.

  5. To configure the scope for the Node.js Core library, click again, select the folders with the server-side code, and choose Node.js Core from the Libraries list.

    Now PyCharm resolves items from the HTML and Node.js Core libraries and suggests them in completion only in files from these chosen project folders.

In the same way, you can configure the scope of the automatically created node_modules library, see Configuring node_modules library.

Configuring a library added via a CDN link

When a library .js file is referenced through a CDN link, it is available for the runtime but is invisible for PyCharm. To add the objects from such library .js file to completion lists, download the file and configure it as an external library.

Download a library

  • Position the caret at the CDN link to the library, press Alt+Enter, and choose Download library from the list:

    The library is downloaded to PyCharm cache (but not into your project) and a popup with an information message appears:

    On the JavaScript Libraries page, the downloaded library is added to the list and enabled it in the scope of the current project:

    In the Project tool window, the library is shown under the External Libraries node:

Change the visibility of a library

  • By default, PyCharm marks the downloaded library as Global, which means that you can enable and re-use it in any other PyCharm project. To change this default setting, select the downloaded library in the list, click Edit, and choose Project in the Edit Library dialog that opens.

Configuring a custom third-party JavaScript library

Suppose you have a JavaScript framework file in your project or elsewhere on your machine and you want PyCharm to treat it as a library and not just as your project code that you edit.

Configure a custom library

  1. Download the required framework file.

  2. In the Settings/Preferences dialog Ctrl+Alt+S, click JavaScript under Languages and Frameworks, then click Libraries. On the Settings: JavaScript Libraries page that opens, click Add. The New Library dialog opens.

  3. Specify the name of the external JavaScript library, click , and choose Attach File or Attach Directory from the list. In the dialog that opens, select the file or folder with the downloaded framework.

Optionally

  • By default, the library is Global Asus port devices driver. , which means that you can attach it to any other project. To suppress re-using a library, choose Project in the New Library dialog.

  • By default, the library is enabled in the scope of the whole current project. You can change this default setting as described in Configuring the scope of a library.

  • In the Documentation URLs area, specify the path to the official documentation of the library or framework. PyCharm will open this URL when you press Shift+F1 on a symbol from this library.

Viewing the libraries associated with a file

Open the file in the editor and choose Use JavaScript Library from the context menu. PyCharm opens a list with the available configured libraries. The libraries associated with the current file are marked with a tick.

  • To remove the current file from a library's scope, clear the checkbox next to this library.

  • To associate a library with the current file, select the checkbox next to this library.
