The Nodejs Sublime Text 3 Package provides a set of code completion, scripts and tools to work with nodejs.

The package code completion is generated from the main nodejs libraries and global namespaces. To invoke the code completion start typing the namespace you want (For example, type fs) and then Ctrl + Space, you get this:

You can access node commands in two ways.

• Via the menu in Tools -> Node
• By accessing the Command Palette and typing node

The current commands available are (with Windows binding, other bindings are provided):

• Run current script in node (Alt + R)
• Run current script in node debug (Alt + D)
• Run current script in node and arguments (Ctrl + Alt + r)
• Run current script in node debug and arguments (Ctrl + Alt + D)
• Uglify Code
• NPM Command
• Build documentation (builds the completion files)

Also included are some boilerplate snippets. They include functionality such as a http server, reading the contents of a directory, etc.

To access these snippets type node in your editor followed by Ctrl + Space

If you have any boilerplate code you would like to see in here, get in touch.

You can install this package from Sublime Text 3 package manager. Also you can install this package manually:

MacOSX

`git clone https://github.com/tanepiper/SublimeText-Nodejs.git ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/Nodejs`

Windows

`git clone https://github.com/tanepiper/SublimeText-Nodejs "%APPDATA%\Sublime Text 3\Packages\Nodejs"`

Linux

`git clone https://github.com/tanepiper/SublimeText-Nodejs $HOME/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/Nodejs`

After the package is installed, install Node.js packages needed for working the package built-in tools. You can to install either globaly by: npm install -g commander@"~2.9.0" uglify-js@"~2.6.0" or localy by adding previously mentioned Node.js packages to your current project, either: npm install commander@"~2.9.0" uglify-js@"~2.6.0" or manully editing your project package.json file.

PLEASE NOTE: When your installed Node.js packages (previously mentioned) globaly, you also need to set the package node_path setting. For that, go to the Preferences -> Package Settings -> Nodejs -> Settings User.

PLEASE NOTE: The build system will be refactored to provide different nodejs build systems (such as jake)

If you have a JavaScript file open, by selecting Tools -> Build Systems -> Nodejs and then hitting Ctrl + B, you will activate the node build system on your file and node will try to run it. You may need to add a path variable to the settings object for this if your node executable is not found
