Angular
JetBrains Rider integrates with Angular also known as Angular 2. This platform makes it easy to build web, mobile, or desktop applications.
Before you start
- Install Node.js and configure it as a local Node.js interpreter.
- Install and enable the NodeJS and AngularJS repository plugins on the Plugins page as described in Installing, Updating and Uninstalling Repository Plugins and Enabling and Disabling Plugins.
To open an application that is organized in the directory structure and does not have a solution file, press Ctrl+O or choose
from the main menu, and then specify the root folder of the application.Using Angular language service
JetBrains Rider integrates with the Angular language service developed by the Angular team to improve code analysis and completion for Angular-TypeScript projects. Note that the Angular language service works only with the projects that use Angular 2.3.1 or higher and TypeScript version compatible with it. Also make sure you have a tsconfig.json
file in your project.
To install the @angular/language-service package
- Open the Terminal tool window ( or Ctrl+Alt+1).
- Change the current folder to the project root and at the command prompt run
npm install @angular/language-service –save-dev
.
The Angular language service is activated by default so JetBrains Rider starts it automatically together with the TypeScript service and shows all the errors and warnings in your TypeScript and HTML files both in the editor and in the TypeScript Tool Window.
To toggle the status of the service
- In the Settings/Preferences dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S), click Typescript under Languages and Frameworks. The TypeScript page opens.
- Select the TypeScript Language Service checkbox and then select or clear the Angular Language Service checkbox.
Using Angular Material Design components
JetBrains Rider recognizes Angular Material components and attributes and provides coding assistance for them:
- Completion for components
- Completion for attributes
- Navigation between a component or an attribute and its declaration (F12 or on the context menu).
To install Angular Material
- Open the built-in JetBrains Rider Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+1) and type
npm install --save @angular/material
at the command prompt. For details, see Getting Started on the Angular Material Official website.
