Vim Plugins

Vim Plugins

Please respect the formatting recommendations of the Modules Page

After this thread I thought it'd be nice to have this here since a lot of node users are also vim users.

Of course, if you don't use Pathogen (or Vundle), you're not really a vim user.

General

• Node.vim Tools and utilities to make Vim superb for developing with Node.js. Like Rails.vim for Ruby on Rails.

Linter

• Tabular Align declarations, equals signs, etc.
• JSLint Lint your code from Vim
• JSHint JSHint plugin

Syntax

• JavaScript (indentation + syntax)
• JavaScript (More complete syntax than the one above)
• CoffeeScript
• Jade
• Stylus
• Syntastic
• Mustache

Editing

• surround
• tComment auto comment
• NERD_Commenter auto comment
• JavaScriptIndent web-indent - Javascript indenter (HTML indent is included) [somewhat buggy, clicking tab won't indent]
• vim-jsbeautify beautify based on .editorconfig
• esformatter Javascript indenting. Handles promise chains correctly while other indenters do not.

Snippets

• SnipMate Text-Mate like snippets
• nodejs-snippets node specific snippet for SnipMate. Consider forking and improving

Completion

• vim-node A dictionary for node
• vim-nodejs-complete nodejs's omnifunc function, ctrl-x_ctrl-o to complete
• vim-nodejs-complete (local completion) This is a fork of 'vim-nodejs-complete' that adds local module completion by searching through the 'node_modules' directory/subdirectories and processing the .js and package.json files.
• tern_for_vim gives a more sophisticated omnifunc function than vim-nodejs-complete

Browsing

• Command-T TextMate-like Command-T explorer. Find files by pattern
• NERD_Tree Tree filesystem browser
• Ack better than grep
• Fuzzyfinder find files by pattern

Colorschemes

• [ColorSamplePack] (http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=625)
• Solarized
• [Mustang] (https://github.com/marcus/vim-mustang)
• xoria256 finely tuned soft gamma colorscheme
• Mango sexy colorscheme tailored to JavaScript

Debugging
