Intellisense for angular.js does not work in a javascript file

Question

I\'m using Visual Studio 2013 which supports Intellisense for Angular.js. Intellisense does indeed work when I create an Angular.js module within a script tag in a HTML5 file. H

Answer 1

If you develop NodeJs project, make sure you select right property for js file. "Build Action" should be equal to "Content", otherwise intellisense will not work

Properties for js file

Answer 2

Make sure you have a the uncompressed js file in your project. Visual Studio cannot read the intellisense from the minified js file

Answer 3

Reference angular.js file on top of your JavaScript file like this:

/// <reference path="../scripts/angular.min.js" />

Answer 4

The javascript file needs a reference to angular js so it know what you're talking about. It looks like this:

/// <reference path="ScriptFile1.js" />
