Docco

This repository contains source code for slime-js emacs plugin, providing integration with https://github.com/Gozala/swank-js backend.

Installation

There are 2 pieces to make this work:

1. The Slime piece, You’re looking at it.
2. the Swank piece.

Installing Slime.js

The best way to get this is to use package-install with Marmalade

M-x package-install slime-js

Connecting to Marmalade:

What, you don’t have marmalade as one of your package sources? Are you NUTS?

For Emacs 24, getting Marmalade is easy peasy:

(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives

             '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)

For emacs 23, the steps are similar, except you need to make sure you have the http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob_plain/1a0a666f941c99882093d7bd08ced15033bc3f0c:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el

Installing Swamk.js

For the moment, Gozala’s branch of swank.js includes an easy install through NPM. It looks hot. Go get it.

Get Node.js: http://nodejs.org/ Get Swank.js: https://github.com/Gozala/swank-js

Using

There will be more documentation here soon. For now, check the docco at https://github.com/Gozala/swank-js

Development

There is big item on the development hit list:

PROJECT Get rid of js2-mode dependency

Some people prefer espresso!

here is a list of dependencies that need to be WHACKED:

• [ ] js2-mode-wait-for-parse
  • [ ] js2-forward-sws
  • [ ] js2-mode-forward-sexp (js–forward-expression? js–forward-functon-decl? )
  • [ ] js2-node-at-point
  • [ ] js2-ast-root-p
  • [ ] js2-node-parent
• [ ] js2-node-abs-pos
  • [ ] js2-node-abs-end
• [ ] js2-mode-buffer-dirty-p

Figure out why those functions are being used, and build a facade (of sorts)

PROJECT Better buffer handling of the swank connection

customize option to make the buffer invisible

add ansi-mode hook on it so that it looks nicer.
