Is there a way to include the adobe ExtendScript library into a webstorm project? Basically I'm trying to use .jsx files syntax inside my project.
I tried to lookup for the extend script core lib files on my drive, without success
These guys have set up a pretty good way to generate the necessary .jsx: https://github.com/yearbookmachine/extendscript-api-documentation
You can get precompiled libraries here: https://github.com/yearbookmachine/extendscript-api-documentation#documentation-and-autocomplete-in-ides

I have a `js` file that will use a third party library installed with `npm`. This file will be downloaded to the project when we go to a certain page.
Since the third-party library is used only on this page, I do not want to include it in the project, that is, I want to download it along with the js package. What I need to use for creating a js package which will contain all dependencies? I've been looking all day, but I can't find the solution.
I solved the situation like this: I copied the content of a third-party library and pasted it into a JS file before my code.
It can also be done using a webPacker by this guide
I am working on large scale web app using AngularJs as front-end and Laravel RESTful API as back-end
Currently I am using gulp to concatenate all script files in one file including angular libraries and all modules and controllers and it's about 46,000 line of code.
Is this a good approach regrading performance?, or I've to include all script files separately.
Also Is concatenating some files and including the others is a good approach?
Thanks in advance!
Yes it is a standard approach for production
For development keep seperate files so debugging is a lot easier.
For production it is highly advisable to combine all the files and minify it.
Infact if you use webpack you can have all css , js files in one bundle
Webpack is awesome tool. Gulp would also do the job.
Haxe's JavaScript exports everything in a Haxe compilation into a single output file. This is great for building applications. For a general purpose library, however, it would be nice if it output a *.js file per *.hx file within my compiled sources.
The intent of this is so that I can create a NodeJs module where the consumer of the library only needs to require() the particular files that they would like to use. Is this currently possible using the Haxe compiler on its own, or via an external tool?
There is the hxgenjs library that can generate one js file per haxe class/enum.

I see 2 different questions here
How to output Haxe module as a NodeJS module?
How to build each JS file into separated output file?
As for #1 there is #:expose directive and it should help.
As for #2 you can use --each and --next in your build *.hxml file. This way you can specify several targets at once(and they will be built at once too). Unfortunately there is no way to use the mask so you will have to list all your entry points(modules' roots) manually.
I am using Webstorm a start a angularjs project. I've created a lot of *.js files. I have the include them using the tag one by one in the html files. whenever I created a new js file, I have to create the script tag.
The things I needed is just like gulp-concat, but without minifying. minified code are hard to debug.
Can anyone help on this? Thanks!
WebStorm doesn't have any built-in functions for combining files... But there are plenty of different tools on the web - plus you can create your own batch files for this.
I can suggest using Grunt grunt-contrib-concat task (https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-concat). It supports merging files. You can run the task using Node.js run configuration, or configure it as a file watcher, or use Grunt console.
Browserify (http://browserify.org/) is one more way to go - it allows using commonjs-style syntax when developing front-end applications, combining the files into a single file for production
Or, try Webpack (https://webpack.github.io/) - it's a modern powerful module bundler
I wanted to create a javascript code library that will be eventually merged into one single minified code file. I was trying to search on how to be able to have these code files separated for development, but I could only find how to have a javascript file add a different javascript file to an existing html page. How do you separate javascript files for development only?
Develop each module of your library as separate .js files then setup a task running tool such as Grunt. You will need node.js along with npm to install Grunt.
You can then use the grunt-contrib-concat plugin to concatenate your javascript files together, and minify it using grunt-contrib-uglify.
These files are separately developed and combined into a single file generally known as minification and bundling, you could use asset compressor in Ruby on Rails in case you are developing in Ruby, otherwise pure javascript development uses Grunt based system, check UglifyJS.
