webstorm: Open and wait until done editing a specific file in the LightEdit mode.
$ webstorm --wait -e ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "webstorm --wait -e ${filename}" is used to open a file with WebStorm and wait for it to be closed before moving to the next command. Here's a breakdown of its components:

  • "webstorm": This is the command to open WebStorm, the integrated development environment (IDE) for JavaScript, TypeScript, and other web languages.
  • "--wait": This flag tells WebStorm to wait for the file to be closed before moving to the next command. It ensures that the command line does not continue executing until the editing session is finished.
  • "-e": This flag tells WebStorm that a file name or path is provided after it. It indicates that the next value will be the name of the file to open.
  • "${filename}": This is a placeholder for the actual file name or path. It is expected to be replaced with the desired value, such as "app.js" or "src/index.html".

Overall, the command launches WebStorm and opens the specified file, waiting until it is closed before the command line continues executing. This can be useful for running subsequent commands that depend on the changes made in the file or for automating software development tasks involving WebStorm.
