Eclipse: editing JavaScript in Spket IDE October 15, 2008

Main features:
— Great code assist for all data types that takes into account the current visibility scope.
— Code formatting.
— Support for code templates.
— Supports and understands JSDoc:

/**
* @param {String} param
*/
function test(param) {
param. // Ctrl+Space will show a list of methods of the String class
}

— Includes inline comments with data types:

$('div').click(function(/* Event */ evt){
evt. //Ctrl+Space will show a list of methods of the Event class
});

— Additional JSDoc constructs:

@type {Element[]} — array of objects of the Element class
@type {myFunc()} — means that the variable contains the result of the myFunc() function
@include "path/to/file.js" — connecting an external file for code assist

— Supports modern frameworks: jQuery, Prototype, YUI, etc.
— Watches for returned function result:

function myFunc() {
return {
prop: 'hello world',
showProp: function(){
alert(this.prop);
}
}
}


myFunc(). // code assist will show prop and showProp

— Understands modern patterns, for example:

var obj = (function(){
function secretMethod(message) {
alert(message);
}


return {
useSecretMethod: function(){
secretMethod('hello world');
}
}
})();


obj. //code assist and outline will show the useSecretMethod method
