Documentation Look-up in External JavaScript Libraries

Look-up in external libraries

From RubyMine, you can also view documentation for symbols defined in external JavaScript libraries and frameworks. Upon pressing Shift+F1 with the cursor positioned at the symbol in question, RubyMine invokes the corresponding link and opens the documentation page in the default RubyMine browser.

To enable the external JavaScript library lookup functionality

  1. Download the required libraries or frameworks.
  2. Configure the downloads as libraries at the RubyMine level.
  3. Specify links to external documentation.

To view documentation on a symbol defined in an external JavaScript library
Position the cursor at the symbol in question and and press Shift+F1 or choose View | External Documentation on the main menu.
