WebStorm TypeScript Support with node_modules

Question

I am trying to create a simple TypeScript project in WebStorm that imports the Node.js. module I loaded the definition of the corresponding TypeScript library in the settings and specified --module commonjsin the compiler settings, but when I try to import the module, I get an error Cannot find external module.

This is the simplest example that I can think of. What am I missing here?

Answer 1

I think you might need it at the very top of your file:

/// <reference path="node.d.ts" />

I'm still not sure how to refer to certain types of node definitions that you loaded inside the Webstorm IDE.

Try manually loading node.d.ts from:
