# WebStorm WebStorm is the JetBrains IDE for Web. While VS Code is free, WebStorm allows better refactoring for complex **TypeScript**, **Angular**, and **React** projects. ## When to Use - **Large Refactors**: Moving files updates imports 100% correctly, even in dynamic imports. - **Angular**: Has the best Angular template support in the industry. - **Debugging**: Node.js debugger is seamless. ## Core Concepts ### Local History A built-in generic version control. You can revert changes even if you haven't committed to Git. ### Live Templates Expand abbreviations into code snippets. (e.g. `log` -> `console.log`). ### Prettier/ESLint Integration Runs them automatically on save or analysis. ## Best Practices (2025) **Do**: - **Use "AI Assistant"**: Generate unit tests for your components. - **Use Database Tools**: Connect to your database directly from WebStorm (it includes DataGrip features). - **Use Version Control**: The Git UI (Merge Conflict Resolver) is superior to almost any standalone tool. **Don't**: - **Don't ignore indexing**: Let it finish before judging performance. ## References - [WebStorm Documentation](https://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/documentation/)
