Visual Studio 2013: Enhancing Your Javascript Development Experience

Recently, I purchased a Windows 8 PC and installed both Visual Studio 2013 Pro and Visual Studio 2013 Express. However, I am facing an issue with creating Javascript projects for developing apps specifically for tablets. Is there any additional software that I need to install in order to address this problem? Thank you.

Answer №1

Encountered a similar issue on a system with only Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows (not desktop) installed. Resolving it was as simple as navigating to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and conducting a repair on VS - this action restored the JavaScript Store App templates in the New Project dialog.

Considering marking my initial query as a duplicate and linking back to this solution?

Answer №2

By default, the JavaScript templates are not included in the installation package. To access these templates, simply navigate to the New Project dialog and locate the link that says Click here to go online and find templates. Once you click on this link, you will be directed to a page where you can browse and install various templates, including the JavaScript ones which are located in the Samples section. If you are looking for tablet apps specifically for Windows Store, head over to that section to make your selection.

Just a heads up, this information pertains to Visual Studio 2013 Pro as I do not have the Express version installed to confirm if the same steps apply there.

Answer №3

In order to create 'JavaScript - Windows Store applications' using Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8, it is necessary to have Windows 8 installed on your system.

If you encounter issues with missing JavaScript templates, consider downloading the following items from the Microsoft website:

  • "Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 5"; and
  • "Visual Studio 2013 Extensions for the Windows Library for JavaScript"

After installing these components, you may receive a prompt to also install 'Multi-Device Hybrid App Tools' from within Visual Studio when selecting a JavaScript template.
