New Library / Edit Library Dialog Box

Item	Description
Name	Specify the library name.
Framework type	From this drop-down list, choose the framework to configure as a library.
Version	In this text box, specify the version of the selected framework to use.
Visibility	In this area, specify where you want the library to be available for associating with files and folders. The available options are: Current project: when this option is chosen, the library can be associated with files and folders within the current project only. If you later try to use the framework with another project, you will have to configure the library anew. Global: choose this option to enable associating the library with any of your GoLand projects.

Type	Click the column to show the drop-down list of the available versions of library files or directories: debug or release.

GoLand enables you to create a library containing just one .js file, if this file is located on the Internet and can be accessed over HTTP. If you refer to a JavaScript library that is not yet available locally, but is available online, use the Download library intention action:

The library will be placed to the user home directory, and will appear in the list of configured libraries in the JavaScript - Libraries page of the Settings dialog.
