YUI and AlloyUI Tern Plugin about tern.java HOT 6 CLOSED

👍

How much time does it takes for a module?

from tern.java.

You mean time loading for a module? For the moment I have one big JSON Tern def for YUI and the loads is good.

from tern.java.

I mead developing time.
Is it easy to add more modules?
What time is needed to add one?

from tern.java.

Tern provides JSON Type Def which is a JSON which describes your structure (ex : document has getElementById whicg returns an Element). It's very easy to write it. See https://github.com/marijnh/tern/blob/master/defs/browser.json for instance for browser structure.

If your JS Framework is complex like angular, require.js which manages injection, you must write tern plugins. For instance if you wish to manage

var fs = require('fs');

the require must return an instance of fs. It is done in https://github.com/marijnh/tern/blob/master/plugin/node.js#L88 with infer.registerFunction("nodeRequire", function(_self, _args, argNodes)

Once you have understood the ast of acorn and feature of tern like propagation, developping tern plugin is not very difficult. And as tern can be executed in browser, I develop tern plugin with Chrome.

Well, this now became as thing worth to be in a new issue. But I am not ready yet.

from tern.java.

For info I have created https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.yuidoc which generates tern def from YUI and AlloyUI sources by using yuidoc.

You can see online demo :

• with yui.js tern plugin here.
• with aui.js tern plugin here.

Those 2 tern plugin are integrated too into tern.java to use it with Eclipse IDE.

I close this issue. Those plugins must be improved. Please create issues at https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.yuidoc/issues
