Adding a Library Folder to JavaScript Libraries

This procedure describes how to add a library folder to a the JavaScript libraries in your project. Library folders are resources containing source code that you would like to be available to functionalities such as Content Assist, but which are contained in files rather than libraries. Including JavaScript libraries and library folders in your project saves you time in writing and debugging code, as you are re-using debugged code.

JavaScript libraries can only be added to PHP projects with JavaScript support enabled.

1. Select Configure from the right click menu of you project in your project directory and select Convert to JavaScript Project.
