I have setup Webstorm to recognise and compile my coffeescript files.

I have installed the AngularJS plugin and can successfully write my controllers etc in plain old javascript.

When I try to write my angular related code in CoffeeScript however I do not get any IDE support: code-completion, intellisense etc.

As a sign that all is not well, the angular variable itself is not recognised, as shown in the image below.
