How can I setup webstorm to automatically add semi-colons to javascript functions, methods, etc

There is no way to insert it automatically, you need to use the Complete Statement action (Ctrl+Shift+Enter).

You also need to check that Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Editor | Code Style | JavaScript | Punctuation | Use semicolon to terminate statements option is enabled.

You can make a macro and keyboard shortcut:

Record Auto semicolon macro and bind shortcut to it:1. Edit -> Macros -> Start Macro Recording2. In the editor go to the end of line by pressing End3. put semicolon ';'4. Edit -> Macros -> Stop Macro Recording5. Give a name, for example 'Auto semicolon'6. Open settings (Ctrl + Alt + s), select Keymap7. Expand Macros node8. Select 'Auto semicolon', in the context menu choose Add Keyboard Shortcut9. Set Ctrl + ; as First keystroke10. Save/Apply settings11. Enjoy!12. Try it out, in the middle of code line, hit Ctrl + ; // some useful combinations:Ctrl + ,    put colon at the end of lineCtrl + ;    put semicolon at the end of lineCtrl + .    put => at the end of line

Would be a lot cooler if there was an option to do it automatically though...

For IntelliJ Idea 2018, follow the steps below:

• Open Settings: Ctrl+Alt+S
• Editor>Code Style>JavaScript
• Select Tab > Punctuation
• In dropdown, select "Use/Use always" semicolon to terminate statements
• Apply and OK

This will add extra semicolon in JS.
