Answer 1

To make WebStorm (2016+) properly recognize angularjs and even enable code completion, simply go to:

File > Settings

Then on the left, select:

Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Libraries

Mark the checkbox next to 'angular' and click Apply. If angular does not appear in the list, you will need to click 'Add' and browse to wherever you have the library downloaded.
