Mongoose static methods autocompletion in WebStorm

When doing the following in WebStorm, I cannot get autocompletion when importing a mongoose model and trying to use a static method on the schema.

In one file I have my Mongoose schema defined with static methods:

 userSchema.statics.saveUser = function(callback){
        var user = new this();
        user.save(callback);
    };

And in another file I try to use these methods and I don’t get autocompletion…

var User = require('../models/user.js');
User.saveUser(function(err, result) {
...
}

Whereas if I would type User.statics.saveUser(… I would get autocompletion.

Do you know about a workaround ? Thanks.

I opened a feature request in JetBrains. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-22317 Please upvote it so that they can take us seriously. Would be great to have first class support for Mongoose inside Jetbrains IDEs.

Thanks !

Nope. If anyone has expertise in webstorm they’re quite welcome to write a plugin and I’d be happy to help, but I have never even installed webstorm so I wouldnt really know where to start.
