Meteor

and

Your Text Editor

Do you use one of those?

Then this talk will be useful to you!

There is a good reason not to use vim in webdev

There is no sane support for your web stack

autocompletion
jump to definition
refactor a method
look up docs
what is the type?

These guys get it

But it is not an editor problem

vim actually supports completion for

C/C++
Objective-C
Python

Tern JS

Server written in node that analyzes your javascriptcode and integrates with your editor. Supports node.js, underscore, jquery, es5 by default. Has bindings for Angular.

From the author of ACorn and CodeMirror: ternjs.net

Now there are bindings for Meteor!

Smart autocompletion based on types!

Jump to definition

Get References

Docs lookup

Type inference

What works

Base features provided by TernJS
File scoping in Meteor projects
Definitions for Meteor public API

based on `meteor.ts.d` for TypeScript

What doesn't yet

Renaming refactorings
Docs from docs.meteor.com
Package scoping
Definitions autogen
Handlebars templates parsing

... but maybe it is fixable in another weekend, who knows?

Take it, use it, contribute to it
