How to debug Javascript in webstorm when gulp is serving the application
In your Javascript - put debugger; between two of your lines, and pop open your Developer Tools in Chrome. When you refresh the page - if your script runs, it should stop where you put the debugger; and you'll be able to hover on different variables to see their values. Very powerful and basic tool.
Also, if you don't want to have the script stop - you can console.log(variable); to have the Developer Tools console print out the variable.
Example:
var somethingOrOther = function(){var blah = 'foo';console.log(blah);// to print to consoledebugger; // to stop script at this point and look around};Don't forget to remove the debugger; when you're done.I recommend using jshint in your gulp to make sure you don't miss those kinds of things.
