Angular.js IntelliSense in Visual Studio

Today Visual Studio already offers you Angular.js IntelliSense. However it’s functionality is limited to a standard list of keywords and doesn’t recognize your own directives, controllers, etc… This is because the JavaScript editor doesn’t understand the way that Angular dynamically loads object references when your app is launched. John Bledsoe, a member of the Visual Studio community, created a great extension that helps the Visual Studio editor with this. By simulating the execution of your Angular application as you write your code, it provides a significantly better IntelliSense experience.

How to use it…

To get started, you need to install the AngularJS extension for Visual Studio. To do this, download the angular.intellisense.js file and place it in the Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\JavaScript\References folder.

More information about this extension can be found here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2015/02/05/using-angularjs-in-visual-studio-2013.aspx

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
