Automatically set up Node.js interpreter for ddev projects

Discussed in #155

It would be great if interpreters like Node.js automatically get set-up so we have tighter integration between PhpStorm and DDEV. Currently I still have to set this up manually (or, maybe I am doing something wrong?)

Hey @mikesnoeren,

Since the coding assistance in phpstorm for remote node interpreters is not supported, implementing node integration for the plugin is only of limited use.

I will give it a try when I find some time anyway, but without priority, as it probably won't solve your problem.

these are known limitations when using remote interpreters:
Tailwind: WEB-53172
Node.js coding assistance: WEB-54178
Version: WEB-52959

Hi @nico-loeber,

Yes, I've been doing some investigation and it doesn't seem possible at the moment, however, I believe they are working on fixing this?

For now I just ended up installing Node.js locally, not ideal, but it gets the job done.
Thanks for taking your time with this, for me this is no longer a priority either.
