WebStorm is a solid software that enables developers to work on JavaScript in an IDE.

WebStorm utilizes the full power of the modern JavaScript ecosystem to give you a developing edge like never before. You’re given auto-completion and intelligent error detection.

A JavaScript IDE

Take advantage of the deeply integrated build tools, linters, REST client, and test runners among many other tools as you code and develop.

Using WebStorm will let you get a ledge up on your previous coding experience, and you can try it all out with a free 30-day trial. With an extensive list of features and tools, such as on the fly error correction, you’ll code faster and more robust programs than you’d be able to otherwise.

WebStorm features a debugger, letting you debug your client-side Node.js applications without any hassle and all inside the IDE. Place breakpoints directly inside the source code, explore the call stack and the variables, use the interactive console, and set watches all within the IDE. The terminal is readily available for any moment you need it as an IDE tool window.

Karma, Mocha, Jest, and Protractor are here in WebStorm. Use them to run debug. You’ll immediately see test statuses within the editor, or in a useful treeview which lets you quickly jump to the test.

Using a unified UI that works with Github, Git, Mercurial, and other VCS. Commit files and review changes as well as resolve conflicts with a visual diff/merge tool within the IDE.

As WebStorm updates, you’ll receive more useful features that make the purchase even more worthwhile should you take it.

Where can you run this program?

WebStorm is available on Windows 7 and later.

Is there a better alternative?

No, but there are other, free development tools available. Visual Studio Code is a modern editor with rich code assistance and navigation. But it’s worth taking WebStorm if you can afford it.
