Another note to self post. When writing node.js projects in WebStorm one of the major upsides is the debugging story. To hook that up you just create a configuration for it. One annoying thing I’ve encountered is that it does not restart the server/app after a crach or a save of the code-files.
In the command-line I’ve done this using nodemon and supervisor. I tend to prefer nodemon, so below I will show this using nodemon but it should work without problems using supervisor or any simular tool.
First of all install nodemon globally
npm install nodemon -g
Then enter WebStorm, open your node.js project and:
1. Hit the configuration menu to edit configuration if you don’t have one otherwise chose you’re existing config
2. If you don’t have a config, create it using the plus (+) sign
3. Change the path from node to nodemon 
And Bob’s you’re uncle!

That setup did not work as well as I hope, so I changed it around a little. Seems to work better:
For windows users set :
Node Interpreter: Path of the node.exe i.e. c:\program files\node\node.exe
Node parameter: C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\nodemon\bin\nodemon.js
Thanks man! Good input!
thank you very much. worked like a charm!
