When I write Javascript, I use semi-colons. However when I write in webstorm/phpstorm, it auto completes braces and brackets, but doesn’t auto-add a semicolon. I know that isn’t required per the standards, etc., but that’s the way that I code – and I’m not alone, many people code this way.
Example:
var data = $.ajax({});
Normally, webstorm/phpstorm will do this, and leave the cursor inside the curly braces:
var data = $.ajax({})
All in the world that I want is to not have to add the semicolon manually and have it just auto-complete as I noted in my first example.

There is no way to insert it automatically, you need to use the Complete Statement action (Ctrl+Shift+Enter).
You also need to check that Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Editor | Code Style | JavaScript | Punctuation | Use semicolon to terminate statements option is enabled.
