Documentation Look-up in External JavaScript Libraries
Besides common referential procedures and viewing JSDoc comments, you can also retrieve documentation for symbols defined in external JavaScript libraries and frameworks.
When this functionality is enabled, upon pressing Shift+F1 with the cursor positioned at the symbol in question, PhpStorm invokes the corresponding link and opens the documentation page in the default PhpStorm browser.
- The default PhpStorm browser is configured on the Web Browsers page of the Settings dialog.
- For more details on specifying the browser to use by default, see Configuring Browsers.
To enable the external JavaScript library lookup functionality
- Download the required libraries or frameworks.
- Configure the downloads as libraries at the PhpStorm level.
- Specify links to external documentation.
