Support a JavaScript Project type in Visual Studio
Please provide a new project type in Visual Studio for developing JavaScript components.
The new project type could have the following features:
- Contains .js, .css, and .html files.
- Represents a complete UI component - i.e. a module or widget.
- Runs JSLint or JSHint on build and reports any errors and violations.
- The build ouput is minified JavaScript and CSS; there should be options for specifying a minifier.
- The build output should also output any HTML files (as ASP.Net partial views).
- The new project type permits adding references to other JavaScript projects.

Add ability to set wildcard into the reference path
Add ability to set wildcard into the reference path.
For example:
When I want to add all files from the subdirectory /path/to/files I must add files separately:
/// <reference path="../path/to/files/file1.js" />
/// <reference path="../path/to/files/file2.js" />
/// <reference path="../path/to/files/file3.js" />
...It will be more usefull if I have ability to setup references through wildcard:
/// <reference path="../path/to/files/*.js" />
or more widely:
/// <reference path="../path/to/*/*" />116 votes -

Our team has been working on an extension for Visual Studio 2012 that adds support for JSDoc comments to IntelliSense. If you’d like to try it out you can install the latest Web Essentials extension from Mads Kristensen:
http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/07d54d12-7133-4e15-becb-6f451ea3bea6
We’re trialing the feature here and would appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

Add IntelliSense for Node.js scripts and AMD modules
WebMatrix has good IntelliSense support for Node.js server-side code.
It can even resolve exported functions from other module using require().Can this be added to Visual Studio's Javascript IntelliSense engine?

Add ability to minify your javascript, CSS and HTML when not in debug mode
Minifing the output code means faster load times for the client and less bandwidth. Visual Studio do this automatically on building a release copy of code. Debug code should not be minified or at least have the option to do it or not. See Yahoo's tool http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/

Intellisense in Javascript is not working when working with AMD like requirejs
When using require.js. The dependent modules that are given in to the function in require or define have no intellisense.
Could you please make it work?28 votes -
Add better support for documentation in comments
VS 2012 doesn't make it easy to write documentation in JavaScript source files. When you type /// to write XML documentation in C#, VS automatically fills in the proper tags to add a summary, and if the comment is before a function declaration, adds in tags for the function parameters as well. When you add another line to the comment, VS also automatically adds in the /// to start the line. In JavaScript, when you type ///, you just get three slashes.
Alternatively, you could add support for JSDoc style comments, which are easy to write and are supported by…

Enable a developer to mark functions with (XML) comments so that the debugger does NOT step into
Enable a developer to mark functions with (XML) comments so that the debugger does NOT step into (see DebuggerStepThroughAttribute). Often times "stepping into" steps into a function that is not the one you want. Often times it is one that is tested and debugged already. Also, this would be great for property get/set function defined using defineProperty. Seems like a very easy feature to add.

Customizable Javascript Syntax Coloring
Please allow a way to uniquely customize the syntax coloring for JavaScript code.
In VS2010 we were able to do this by editing the following options in fonts and colors:Script Comment
Script Identifier
Script Keyword
Script Number
Script Operator
Script StringSadly those options are now missing in VS2012 RC :(
