IDE autocompletion for javascript AMD loading style [closed]

Question

Does anyone know of an IDE that can autocomplete javascript AMD style :

// my dojoConfig defined aliases to the packages I use (dojo, dmidz)
// so in dmidz/my-module.js
define(['dojo/dom-construct'], function(cons){// requiring some dojo module
   cons.// <- oh it is nicely displaying list of dom-construct module methods
});

Please don't just give the best, cool IDE you like. I tried Komodo and Webstorm, I just couldn't make them work, or maybe I had not configured them correctly...but none give the possibility to set the same alias as in dojoConfig (too difficult?). For example in Webstorm, there is a library concept, I added dojo and my package, but no way, of course, how it could without knowing the alias paths. There is also a Path Variables concept, no way to understand how it works, the documentation is so poor!

Thank for any help.

You might be looking for TernJS. It declares support of RequireJS via a plugin

It is the best tool I know for the job. Tern is rather RAM-hungry, though (compared to a pure text editor). Integration with Sublime Text is seamless, and with other Sublime plugins you can bring it quite close to a definition of IDE.

Below is an excerpt from TernJS documentation:

Tern is a stand-alone code-analysis engine for JavaScript. It is intended to be used with a code editor plugin to enhance the editor's support for intelligent JavaScript editing. Features provided are:

• Autocompletion on variables and properties
• Function argument hints
• Querying the type of an expression
• Finding the definition of something
• Automatic refactoring

Tern is open-source (MIT license), written in JavaScript, and capable of running both on node.js and in the browser. Editor plugins

There is currently Tern support for the following editors:

• Emacs
• Vim
• Sublime Text
• Brackets (built in to the base editor)

Well I am using PHPStorm 8.1 (Webstorm should be ok also) now and... AMD autocompletion works well ! I just declare my js packages as javascript libraries :

Settings > Languages & Frameworks > JavaScript > Libraries > Add...

add and point to each of your packages'folder and enjoy :) Have to mention JetBrains IDE rocks, give it a try, sure you will adopt it since - at least - it resolves AMD style...
