Unresolved function or method app | node.js

Question

module.exports = function (app) {
    app.get('./todo', function (req, res) {});
    app.post('./todo', function (req, res) {});
    app.delete('./todo', function(req , res){});
};

I'm using WebStorm 2017.2.5 and Express package 4.16.3. My issue is get method works fine but post and delete got "unresolved function or method post" warning.

Any insight is much appreciated.

the problem is that the express methods list is generated dynamically, and it's not possible to resolve these properties using static code analysis. Running npm i @types/express should solve the problem:

You need to download and install the "express" library in WebStorm. Go to Preferences > Languages and Frameworks > Libraries > Download. Find the "express" library and hit Download and Install. This should work.
