PhpStorm and JavaScript: how to get full doc support

I use PhpStorm 2017.1.4 IDE. When I code in PHP, the core functions are all documented in the IDE (beyond just the parameters, I can see what the function does etc..)

enter image description here

I'm now practicing my JavaScript. Although the IDE knows the core functions, there is no documentation:

So find myself always going on MDN reference to learn about functions, which really slows down my work. How can I shore up my IDE to provide fuller documentation?

Quick documentation popup opened on F1 (or Ctrl+Q) shows information written in comments attached to object in .js file object is defined in (plugins\JavaScriptLanguage\lib\JavaScriptLanguage.jar!\com\intellij\lang\javascript\index\predefined\EcmaScript.js in your case). You can create a copy of this file somewhere on your disk, add more doc comments to functions stubs, and add this modified file as a JavaScript library to your project

If you like to see full API docs, hit Shift+F1, or press blue 'up' arrow button in documentation popup toolbar (note that this function is only available for libraries that have 'documentation URL' configured)
