Visual Studio 2013 .coffee文件中的Javascript参考和Intellisense

Question

Just started using Web Essentials and love its support of .coffee files. Big problem however: In Visual Studio, if you add the following reference to the top of a .js file, Visual Studio will include intellisense for the items in the referenced file:

/// <reference path="../../js/knockout-3.1.js" />

So, while writing my code I can type something like ko. and intellisense shows me all the functions knockout has to offer.

However the above XML reference is not allowed in .coffee files and in fact keeps them from being compiled. I can put the following in a .coffee file:

# @reference ../../js/knockout-3.1.js

This will compile but I lose the intellisense in Visual Studio.

How can I "include" other .js files as a reference and trigger intellisense in a .coffee file?

Answer 1

This is not currently supported.

See this stack overflow question: CoffeeScript Intellisense

Also see this suggestion from web essentials: https://webessentials.uservoice.com/forums/140520-general/suggestions/3782958-coffeescript-intellisense

Answer 2

I use VS2015. The way i do it is update the "references.js" file (right click on that file and click update) see screenshot
