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)

Editing

Snippets
