'WebStorm for NodeJS add NPM modules in 'External Libraries'

Is there a way to add the NPM NodeJS External modules so my node project modules appear in 'External Libraries' and are resolved by code completion and navigate?

Thanks

Yes, besides enabling code completion in Settings (Ctrl + Alt + S) > Languages and Frameworks > Node.js after downloading it via the Settings > Plugins section, You have to actually install the Node.js kind of manually.

First, create a basic package.json file containing all the config info needed to install Node.js,
for more info look here: https://nodejs.dev/learn/the-package-json-guide

After you've done that, simply open up the terminal emulator (Alt + f12) and type in npm install.

As long as you have the package.json file in the same directory, everything should work fine,
and your IDE - webstorm in this case, should add Node's external modules automatically,
to the External libraries > Node.js core section in your project tab.


Cheers.
