Angular NetBeans plugin

[Mårten Dolk]

Hi!

I've started working on a NetBeans plugin for Angular. It currently
provides code completion and popup documentation of angular widgets
and directives.

It is very early days for it and it is very experimental, but I think
is in a state to be useful.

You can find the binaries here:
https://github.com/mdolk/angular-netbeans-plugin-dist

Note, that you need the non-minified angular-0.9.19.js somewhere in
your project for the plugin to work, as it parses the comments in the
js-file. That way you can get code completion for your own
widgets/directives.

Cheers,
Mårten

WOW! 2 t-shirts for you!

I know that it's still early, but this looks very promising.

Since you parse out jsdocs from the angular.js file, it should work with any version of angular and not just 0.9.19, right?

Nice work Márten, works a treat!

[Mårten Dolk]

It *should* work with any version of Angular, as long as you don't
change the format too much of course. One small caveat; the open in
browser button in the documentation panel links to
http://docs.angularjs.org/#!/api/ so that will only work what is
published there.

Btw, what markup language is used in the comments? Now I rely on
regexp based string replacement and that is getting ugly in a hurry. I
need a real parser to generate the docs.

Ahh... found the key to the markup here
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/docs/src/reader.js
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/docs/src/ngdoc.js

So I guess it is markdown syntax converted using Showdown?

It does! I haven't looked at how this is implemented, but it even works with angular-bootstrap.js - a special angular version that dynamically loads all individual angular source files. so even with angular split into dozens of files the plugin works fine.

As you figured out the markup we use is markdown. I'm sure there is some kind of library for markdown written in java that you could use.

I released a new version (0.2) which is using markdownj to produce the
documentation panels. So the plugin can now handle advanced formatting
(bullet lists etc.).

Latest version can be downloaded here:

Regarding the plugin working with angular split into many files; the
plugin works by parsing all resources in a project which NetBeans
regards having the MIME-type "text/javascript". So it does not
discriminate between js-files. If you add @ngdoc to 3rd party
directives/widget you will get code completion for them as well. E.g:

/**
* @ngdoc directive
* @name my:foobar
*
* @description
* The descriptive text...
*
* @element ANY
* @param {expression} expression needed to foo the bar.

Hi, I'm on Net beans 7.2, I have un-minified version of Angular 1.0.2 in my JS folder in the project and still getting html markup validation errors and no autocomplete for Angular.js, anybody has any clue what's wrong? Cheers.

[spikyti...@gmail.com]

Yeah I'm having that as well, is there a way to turn the xml validation off maybe?
