ExtJS code editor what do you Use?

[dragnovich]

Hello I recently moved from editing all my Scripts from (EditPad a commercial app) to NotePad++ (open source), and before I used the ugly windows Notepad.

I love autocompletion and sintax high-lighting, for PHP and other script languajes, how ever, do you know any plugin to support those features in Notepad++ for ExtJS.

Or what tools do you use to program in ExtJS, does exist any app that has this two features?

Regards!

There's been discussions on this before, you'd be best off searching the forums.

I use Aptana for all JS stuff, it's quite good.

spket (http://spket.com) works well too.

I use Textmate on the mac, and E on windows (E is a windows clone of Textmate, but unlike Textmate is being actively developed and has some really nice features).

Snippets are your friend, they really do save a lot of time. I've put my current custom bundle on Github (http://github.com/edspencer/extjs-tmbundle/tree/master) - some of those are specific to an MVC layer I'm developing, but most apply to any Ext JS project.

It's amazing how much nicer it is to just type c then TAB and see console.log(''); appear with your cursor inside inside the quote marks. That's the most trivial example but even that saves time and unneeded effort.

in notepad++ press ctrl + space.

Not a full completition but does help out from time to time - especially with php and it's oh so constant and logical naming scheme

Not bad. But I think we can do better. Here's my try as an attachment. Generated from the official 3.0 docs.

Make sure to turn the function parameters hint feature on!



edit: Attachment updated. Multiple identically named methods now supported.

I use Eclipse with Aptana plugin and vi. My biggest issue is there not being a clearly written parser that handles ext's style jsdoc very well (with inheritance, etc.).

You should try spket then - it uses the jsb file so does a much better job - it even autocompletes config options and shows the jsdjoc comments.

Zend Studio for Eclipse (version 7) in combination with ExtJs Designer for Eclipse (https://extjs.net/forum/showthread.php?t=52423) and ExtJs auto completion in ZSfE (http://blog.snakehit.be/2008/11/17/ext-js-code-completion-zend-studio-for-eclipse/). Works perfectly!
