nide

nide is a web-based IDE for node.js. It’s designed with simplicity and ease-of-use in mind. nide was initially developed as part of the Node Knockout 48 hour coding competition.

nide’s current features:

  • Project tree display
  • File operations (create/delete/rename files and folders, hide/show hidden files)
  • Syntax highlighted code editing for multiple programming languages
  • OS X Lion-style automatic save
  • OS X Lion-style version management with revert and side-by-side editing features
  • Real time project tree filtering (using regular expressions)
  • NPM integration (display currently installed packages, add/remove packages, automatically update package.json)
  • Image previewing.
  • HTML previewing.
  • HTTP authentication (for running Nide on a public server)
  • Optionally run nide as a native Mac application.
  • Sleek interface reminiscent of TextMate
  • Node.JS Documentation browsing

What's new in Nide 0.2.0:

  • You can now refresh the directory listing manually, through the gear menu.
  • You can now specify a host IP for listening via a command line option.
  • You can now specify a username and password for HTTP authentication.
  • Editor state (caret position, selection, scroll) is now preserved when switching between multiple files.
  • Nide is now available as a native Mac application. The Mac app is still on a very early stage of development, so expect some hiccups.
  • Numerous bug fixes.

What's new in Nide since 0.1.0 was released:

  • Nide now supports syntax highlighting for filetypes other than JavaScript.
  • A simple cache mechanism is now present to avoid unnecessary directory listings.
  • Directory listing is now much faster and more reliable.
  • Nide is now able to launch the user's default browser from the command line
  • The client code has been almost completely refactored so it's now easier to mantain.
  • Nide will now check for file size before opening a file.
  • HTML files can now be previewed directly from Nide.
  • Image files can now be viewed directly from Nide.
  • Lots of bugfixes.

Instructions

First, install nide with:

sudo npm install -g nide

On a new or existing directory, use the following command to setup a new nide project:

nide init

This command will setup a .nide directory, automatically add it to your .npmignore and .gitignore files, and start the nide server on port 8123. Fire up your web browser at localhost:8123 to use nide. If a directory is already a nide project, you can run nide simply by using:

nide
