a better :sp

...

old idea, came back again (first attempt: https://github.com/mklabs/jsvim)

• Write VIM plugins as ES6 class / scripts
• Implement function / commands in JS, generates appropriate vimscript
• Relies on STDOUT result (node file.js --vim --command => JSON)
• Autoload generated API mapping ES6 class

this.command(':Foo', (args) => {
  this.echo('Args: ', args)
})

function! vimjs#node(type, ...)
  let cmd = join(a:000, ' ')
  let flag = '--' . type
  return system('node plugin.js --vim ' . flag . '  -- '  . cmd)
endfunction
command! -nargs=+ Foo call vimjs#node('command', <args>)

:Foo bar tabac
Args: bar tabac

Using the excellent https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify

A plugin wrapper to further customize the startup screen on projects with a package.json file.

• custom header
• list
  • list of **/*.js files
  • list of test/**/*.js files
  • list of node_modules/* deps
  • mru in dir
• build tool integration
  • npm scripts - list package.json "scripts", hitting r on a line runs the script
  • make - list targets, hitting r on a line runs the target
  • gulp - with a gulpfile.js, invoke gulp --list, hitting r on a task runs the task
  • grunt - with a Gruntfile, invoke grunt to get tasks, hitting r on a task runs the task
• Scaffold integration
  • if yo is in the $PATH, use yeoman-environment to get the list of generators, hitting r on a generator runs the generator.
  • if a ~/.vim/templates folder exists, list possible templates, hitting r on a template prompts for destination and runs the template.
• Documentation
  • if a docs folder exists, or package.json "dirs.docs" field exists, list markdown files
  • hitting e on a file opens the buffer.
  • hitting p on a a markdown file opens up a buffer preview or webpage.
• Tests / Lint
  • mocha, hitting r on the mocha line runs mocha with standard config mocha -R spec test/
  • ava, hitting r on the ava line runs ava with standard config ava
  • eslint, hitting r on the eslint line runs eslint .
  • fix, hitting r on the fix line runs eslint --fix .
  • jsdom, hitting r on the jsdom line runs mocha with a static server and a jsdom instance
  • hitting t on any .js list file will run mocha / or ava on the selected file.
  • hitting e or l on any .js list file will eslint on the selected file.
  • hitting f on any .js list file will run eslint --fix on the selected file.
