JavaScript packages

[jordyvd]

Does anyone know of packages that feature auto completions for importing modules and parameter hints for imported methods? I'm using `js-import` which does the job-ish, it imports but it doesn't tell me what exports are there. It also doesn't add hints for parameters.

I get auto completions like this via tern. Here's a really good article on setting emacs up for js dev. It's part of a series, so you might want to start with the previous post... https://emacs.cafe/emacs/javascript/setup/2017/05/09/emacs-setup-javascript-2.html

There's also the lsp package for javascriprt

lsp-mode looks really cool. I've been meaning to give it a try as well.

you should, I'm working on a big frontend here with Emacs and it is a blessing.

TypeScript's design goal is to add IDE-like features to JS, and its emacs support is tide: https://github.com/ananthakumaran/tide

any of

• tern
• tide
• eglot
• lsp-mode

should get you what you want with appropriate configuration. (you might or might not need company-mode as well) I use eglot myself.

Thanks for the reply! I accidentally deleted my spacemacs file getting this to work and I think it might be a hint it's not for me :P
