ctags

Features like outline or jump to definition need to analyze your code. Therefore you can use ctags which needs to be installed on your machine.

sudo apt install exuberant-ctags

Whenever you want to navigate in vim based on ctags information you need to run the analyzes of the code that should be available later. You need to call this whenever your source files have changed.

If you are in a git empowered project root, use:

ctags -R -f . ./.git/tags

When you have generated a ctags file you can use <Ctrl-]> when on a word to jump to the definition.

Note that ctags needs proper configuration for different languages.

JavaScript

I currently use es-ctags together with watch-run to generate the tags on the fly for js empowered projects.

The following makes this available as npm run watch-esctags and npm run esctags.

{
    "scripts": {
        "watch-esctags": "./node_modules/watch-run/bin/watch -p './**' npm run esctags",
        "esctags": "./node_modules/es-ctags/bin/es-ctags -R -f ./.git/tags ."
    },
    "devDependencies": {
        "es-ctags": "0.0.2",
        "watch-run": "^1.2.5",
  }
}
