Try it in the real environment
Simple server installation (mocking with NodeJS Express)
To try it in the real environment. I suggest installing the basic NodeJS Express boilerplate. Take a look on the video snippet how easy it is to get it through Webstorm that is accessible for free for a trial period.
- Get WebStorm Early Access
- Get index.js file from here and replace it with the one in the boilerplate and launch the server.
Documentation(API)
- You need to have Xcode 13 installed in order to have access to Documentation Compiler (DocC)
