Changes since 1.1
ES6 IntelliSense Preview (new analysis engine)
As many of you may already know, we've in the midst of rehauling our JavaScript IntelliSense experience. In NTVS 1.1, we gave you a sneak peek of what's to come, and you gave us a ton of awesome feedback that we've taken to heart.
HIghlights include:
- A more consistent IntelliSense experience for fullstack development
- first-class support for the most popular npm packages
- JsDoc comment support
- improved JSX support (requires Visual Studio "15" Preview)
To learn more about this experience, please visit the ES6 Preview documentation
Project-less debugging of Node.js code via “Open Folder” (requires Visual Studio "15" Preview)
In Visual Studio "15" Preview, we're making it easier to edit and debug from any folder on your machine using "File > Open Folder".
Then you can simply launch debugging for any javascript file in the folder without the need to set up a dedicated Visual Studio project configuration.
More reliable editing and debugging
We expect the 1.2 Alpha release to provide both a much better user experience and improved stability. In particular, it brings increased reliability when debugging asynchronous and source-mapped code, as well as significantly increased stability and performance all around.
(Preliminary) Node.js v6.x support
A stable Node.js v6.x isn't even out yet, but many of our users love to use the latest and greatest, and we've already tested and added preliminary support for it, so please let us know if you run into any issues!
Known Issues
- #125 Attach debugger to Azure deployment via Server Explorer fails. You can attach manually as outlined on the Advanced Debugging page.
- #434 Profiling does not resolve function names if using 64-bit Node. Install and profile 32-bit Node to work around this issue.
- ReSharper is known to cause code-completion, memory, and performance issues when enabled alongside NTVS. We recommend disabling at least ReSharper's JavaScript functionality if you are having problems.
- NTVS does not fully support build and test features of Visual Studio Team Services, but we are working to improve the experience. If you are having trouble, please file an issue so we can get to the bottom of it.
- We are constantly working to improve our code-completion and formatting to support the wide variety of modules and code styles. Please file an issue if you are running into unexpected behavior.
