Visual Studio changes Node. js IDE and studionode. js in one second

(This article is also published in my public account "dotNET daily excellent article ")

Microsoft released a plug-in last month to transform Visual Studio into the most powerful Node. js development tool in one second. Now the source code has been moved to GitHub, and Azure Virtual Machine images are also provided for your taste.

Although Visual Studio has always been called the most powerful IDE, its reputation and users are mostly limited to Microsoft developers. As Microsoft attaches great importance to open source and third-party technologies, Microsoft also provides more support for other development technologies in. Node. js Tools for Visual Studio is a good embodiment.

Although Microsoft has been releasing Python Tools for Visual Studio in CodePlex before, the importance of Node. js Tools for Visual Studio is significantly different. For example, Node. the source code of js Tools for Visual Studio has been published on GitHub, this plug-in has a separate introduction page on the official Visual Studio page ("read the original" to access), which is never treated by other similar plug-ins.

Node. js Tools for Visual Studio provides the following powerful features:

• Project template: allows you to get started quickly
• SMART awareness: allows code writing to fly
• Integration with npm: same experience as Nuget Manager
• Interactive window: Faster code logic test
• Advanced debugging: Debugging can be performed locally or remotely on any operating system.
• Analysis: Tracking and diagnosing performance problems
• Unit test: any testing framework you like
• Integration of TypeScript: I have mentioned this in the rise of TypeScript. Relying on the object-oriented and static checking capabilities of TypeScript, you can develop robust large-scale applications.
• Source code control: you do not need to use the command line tool and rely on Team Explorer of VS to complete source code management.
• Integrated cloud platform: it can be deployed to Azure within 5 minutes, and it can also obtain APM capabilities
• Custom features: you can install other extension tools according to your habits.
• Free and open-source: VS community edition is a fully functional and scalable release that is free for individuals, open-source projects, and messaging business teams, as mentioned above, the source code of this plug-in is open-source on GitHub.

Of course, if you are a non-Windows platform developer, but want to see if this tool is so amazing, microsoft provides the "Visual Studio Community 2013 Update 4 with Tools for Node. js "virtual machine image, you can try it quickly. (Note: you can apply for a trial of Azure for free)
