Microsoft boosts Node development in Visual Studio
Microsoft has updated its Node.js Tools for Visual Studio package, improving IntelliSense ease-of-coding capabilities and enhancing performance, debugging, and unit testing. The upgrade also supports the recently released Node.js 6.
Version 1.2 of the open source tool enables development of enterprise Node.js applications using Microsoft's signature Visual Studio IDE. The upgrade works with Visual Studio 2015.
The big highlight of version 1.2 is faster IntelliSense backing for coding compliant with the ECMAScript 6 specification. ECMAScript serves as a blueprint for new JavaScript features.
