PhpStorm：NodeJS模块的未解决的变量，方法和函数

Question

I just started a new NodeJS application in PhpStorm which uses some external packages. Unfortunately I see a lot of Unresolved variable or Unresolved function or method warnings:

Obviously this is very distracting. Can I somehow manually tell the IDE to load some definition files of the external packages I use (eg mongoose in this example)?

If I find no other solution I'd simply disable those inspections which is kind of a bad "fallback" since they usually provide some good hints for typos etc.

Solution:
I had 2 different node_modules directories in my project:

project\client\node_modules\...
project\server\node_modules\...

Both were marked as excluded . I simply removed the excluded mark (right-click on the folder in the project tree). PhpStorm shows correct auto completion now and the Unresolved warnings are gone.

If you have jetbrains suite, It's better to use webstorm for nodejs application.

However, if you want to keep phpstorm. You can use a jshint module for global variables declaration, and use jsdoc for variable instance :

/**
 * Description
 * @type {Schema}
 * @property {object} methods
 */
var Schema;

-- EDIT --

Have you set up your phpstorm as the jetbrains doc ? Work on nodejs with phpstorm
