TypeScript support in WebStorm 2016.3 - tooltips like in VS Code

Question

Visual Studio Code has awesome TypeScript support, e.g. type inference that is shown in tooltips (when I hover over function that has no type defined). By default in WebStorm I only get Console/Errors inside tool window.

Are there any plugins / settings in WebStorm that will enrich TypeScript support?

Answer 1

View | Expression Type (Ctrl+Shift+P in default keymap) allows to view the inferred type. You can also use Ctrl+Q (View | Quick Documentation) here.

Some other actions you may find useful:

• View | Quick definition: shows a tooltip with function definition
• View | Parameter Infor: when invoked within function call parentheses, shows information about function parameters
