When using WebStorm without the built-in TypeScript Compiler (e.g. because you are running an Angular2 project with their npm start script which does the compiling already) and the other method doesn't work, you can configure your own filtered "Project" panel for WebStorm:

  1. Select Project Files section of the side panel (Project section does not offer the needed config menu)
  2. Click on the gear icon to configure enter image description here
  3. Select "Edit Scopes" from that menu
  4. Add a new Scope
  5. Set the Pattern to an appropriate filter to exclude the *.js and *.js.map files (I am using !file[my-root-folder]:app//*.js&&!file[my-root-folder]:app//*.js.map)
  6. You can select this scope as a section of the side panel (instead of Project or Project Files) under the name you set the scope.
