In Webstorm 2017.1, do the following:

  1. Go to File -> Settings | Preferences
  2. Choose Editor -> Code Style -> TypeScript
  3. Select 'Punctuation' tab
  4. Change: Use 'double' quotes to Use 'single' quotes. (Additionally, you can change 'in new code' to 'always')

Webstorm auto-import change to use double quotes instead of single quotes
