Hey guys.

I've been writing my own script in Tampermonkey's integrated editor so far, which does a good job of syntax highlighting, but isn't all that great otherwise. So I basically have two questions related to that:

1.) When I use @require to load an external javascript file (library), the tampermonkey editor says it doesn't know the variable I'm using to access those externally loaded methods, but the code works fine. What's the best practice to handle external libraries, to both make the editor believe the variable exists and to make sure the library is available?

2.) What are your suggestions for an external editor/coding environment for userscripts? If you use something like typescript, how do you automatically build the .user.js file?

Thanks for all the help,

PSC

Built-in Tampermonkey editor is pretty bad, so for anything a little bit serious I just use pic related construction. Access to local files should be enabled for the Tampermonkey, and also all userscript directives still should be changed from Tampermonkey file. You can't declare them from local files

Empty function at the end is needed because there is some error appears without it.. Don't remember what it is exactly

how do you automatically build the .user.js file?

I used the Gulp once. Made own configuration that did concatenate files to one
