## Description
This layer adds support for the JavaScript language using [js2-mode][].
Main features:
- Smart code folding
- Refactoring: done using [js2-refactor][].
- Auto-completion and documentation: provided by [tern][]
- CoffeeScript support
## Install
To use this contribution add it to your `~/.spacemacs`
```elisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(javascript)
"List of contribution to load."
)
```
You will also need to install `tern` to use the auto-completion and
documentation features:
```shell
$ npm install -g tern
```
## Key Bindings
### js2-mode
Key Binding | Description
--------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
SPC m w | toggle js2-mode warnings and errors
### Folding (js2-mode)
Key Binding | Description
----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
SPC m z c | hide element
SPC m z o | show element
SPC m z r | show all element
SPC m z e | toggle hide/show element
SPC m z F | toggle hide functions
SPC m z C | toggle hide comments
### Refactoring (js2-refactor)
Bindings should match the plain emacs assignments.
Key Binding | Description
------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
SPC x m j | move line down, while keeping commas correctly placed
SPC x m k | move line up, while keeping commas correctly placed
SPC m k | deletes to the end of the line, but does not cross semantic boundaries
SPC m r 3 i | converts ternary operator to if-statement
SPC m r a g | creates a `/* global */` annotation if it is missing, and adds var to point to it
SPC m r a o | replaces arguments to a function call with an object literal of named arguments
SPC m r b a | moves the last child out of current function, if-statement, for-loop or while-loop
SPC m r c a | converts a multiline array to one line
SPC m r c o | converts a multiline object literal to one line
SPC m r c u | converts a multiline function to one line (expecting semicolons as statement delimiters)
SPC m r e a | converts a one line array to multiline
SPC m r e f | extracts the marked expressions into a new named function
SPC m r e m | extracts the marked expressions out into a new method in an object literal
SPC m r e o | converts a one line object literal to multiline
SPC m r e u | converts a one line function to multiline (expecting semicolons as statement delimiters)
SPC m r e v | takes a marked expression and replaces it with a var
SPC m r i g | creates a shortcut for a marked global by injecting it in the wrapping immediately invoked function expression
SPC m r i p | changes the marked expression to a parameter in a local function
SPC m r i v | replaces all instances of a variable with its initial value
SPC m r l p | changes a parameter to a local var in a local function
SPC m r l t | adds a console.log statement for what is at point (or region)
SPC m r r v | renames the variable on point and all occurrences in its lexical scope
SPC m r s l | moves the next statement into current function, if-statement, for-loop, while-loop
SPC m r s s | splits a `String`
SPC m r s v | splits a `var` with multiple vars declared into several `var` statements
SPC m r t f | toggle between function declaration and function expression
SPC m r u w | replaces the parent statement with the selected region
SPC m r v t | changes local `var a` to be `this.a` instead
SPC m r w i | wraps the entire buffer in an immediately invoked function expression
SPC m r w l | wraps the region in a for-loop
### Auto-complete and documentation (tern)
Key Binding | Description
---------------------|------------------------------------------------------------
SPC m c | rename variable under the cursor using tern
SPC m d | find docs of the thing under the cursor. Press again to open the associated URL (if any)
SPC m g | jump to the definition of the thing under the cursor
SPC m G | jump to definition for the given name
SPC m C-g | brings you back to last place you were when you pressed M-..
SPC m t | find the type of the thing under the cursor
