Version 1.12 of Brackets was released on January 29, 2018 and is now available for download. This release introduces some exciting new features including JavaScript Refactoring, intelligent rename in file/scope feature, try catch block wrapping, one click conversion of anonymous expression / function block to arrow expression, and getter/setter creation. More information can also be found in the release notes.
As a lightweight editor, Brackets serves as the “Goldilocks” solution for my smaller JavaScript and web page development projects. Web page development is greatly enhanced with the live preview feature.
Although JetBrains Web Storm is my IDE of choice for larger applications, Brackets is an ideal editor for those looking to start off with something simple and easy to use. Numerous extensions are readily available, easy to install, and will greatly enhance your experience while using Brackets.
To take advantage of the latest and greatest features, it’s important to keep your applications up to date. These updates may fix bugs that you’ve discovered (or have yet to discover) and may also introduce some features that can save you a lot of time and effort in your development process.
Until Next time – STAY lean!
