Sample Configuration

Here’s a suggested setup for your WebStorm configuration:

  1. Navigate to Preferences > Editor > Code Style and set your preferences (e.g., tab size).
  2. Under Editor > Inspections, ensure ESLint is enabled for JavaScript and JSX files.
  3. Enable auto-imports by going to Preferences > Editor > General > Auto Import.
