Get VS javascript intellisense for js in a different file

Question

So I\'ve defined my \'enum\' at the top of my javascript file as so:

var loaderOptions = { \"SHOW\": 0,
    \"CHANGEPAGE\": 1,
    \"HIDE\": 2
};

Answer 1

Mads Kristensen's blog post on the _references.js file shows a more recent way of handling this than the one epascarello mentions in his answer. Here's a quote from Mads's post:

Enter _references.js.

This file must (by default) be located in a folder at the root called /scripts/. That's the naming convention. Any file located at /scripts/_references.js is automatically added to global Intellisense. This is now the only file we need for triple-slash references. Here's what the contents of this file may look like:

/// <reference path="modernizr-2.6.2.js" /> 
/// <reference path="jquery-1.10.2.js" /> 
/// <reference path="bootstrap.js" /> 
/// <reference path="respond.js" />

Just a bunch of references. This is also the only file that is included in Intellisense by default at all times.

Answer 2

Add a References Directive on top of the JavaScript file

/// <reference path="file1.js" />
