It is very important to make sure that your IDE loads in less than 10 seconds, otherwise you will be tempted to use a different editor for “simple” tasks. It should take less than 10 seconds (on my Mac, it takes 5 seconds). Verify startup time < 10 secondsĪfter configuration, quit IDEA, then time how long it takes for it to start up on your platform. Now all of your projects will be configured to use ECMAScript 6 by default. You should see the following:Ĭlick OK to save this change.

Then change the pull-down menu to display “ECMAScript 6”. Go to File / Other settings / Default Settings, and in the resulting dialog box, open up Languages and Frameworks and select Javascript. Make Ecmacript 6 the default version of Javascript I do not select “Show all soft wraps”, but that is a personal preference.Ĭlick OK to save your changes. Use soft wraps in console (under Console subarea).To enable this, under Preferences > Editor > General, select: “Soft wrap” allows you to resize your screen and still see all text, and eliminates the need for horizontal scrolling. You will now have a new code style called ics-se-code-style that conforms to our class code style conventions. Under Preferences > Editor > Code Style, click the “Manage” button, then “Import”, then select IntelliJ IDEA code style XML, then select the ics-se-code-style.xml file from your local file space and import it. Load the ICS SE Code Style preferencesĭownload the class code style preferences file from ics-se-code-style.xml. If you have additional plugins enabled, that isn’t necessarily bad, but it does mean your startup time will be slowed down.
