Adding a JavaScript User Library

This procedure describes how to add a JavaScript User library to your project. Including a JavaScript User library in your project saves you time in writing and debugging code, as you are re-using debugged code, and is available in functionalities such as Content Assist.

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