What Editor do you use?

[Rodrigo Fonseca]

 I'm trying to use netbeans, but when i try to put a "ejs" file, the netbeans doesn't recognize it, so i'm using textMate, but i really i want to use the netbeans. I'm on Mac, there is any other editor?

[Sapardee]

For editing my code separately,i used to use sublime text2, it can recognize ejs tags like html another alternative you can use eclipse with nodeeclipse plugin for eclipse. I hope it can help you.

Ok, i've asked because i hate textMate, i really want to use netbeans, but i will try to use with eclipse.

Just add the ejs extension, for 7.0 you would do the following;

Tools  -> Options -> Miscellaneous Tab -> Files Tab

Click the "New" button
Enter ejs as the extension
select text/javascript as the mime

Hope that helps

I use Sublime Text 2, but we have an ex-Java developer on our team who really loves Webstorm http://www.jetbrains.com/webstorm/.

+1 for webstorm.  It's git support is outstanding.  I also like transparent ssh linkage to servers including changes made externally. Like any closed-source product it has a few more bugs here and there, but the features outweigh the problems.

For years I changed editors every six months, including eclipse, netbeans, and sublime text 2.  I've stuck with webstorm for over a year now.  I only paid $30 when it was on sale.

I use vim on the mac and nvi on linux.

[Jeff Schwartz]

I use Webstorm, a commercial IDE from Jetbrains, and MacVim,  which is a free open source and very mature Mac based code editor and an offshoot of VIM. 

Webstorm is the best HTML/Javascript/CSS experience going today imho. For an IDE it is extremely light weight. It boots up and is ready to begin coding faster even than Sublime which is often touted because of its speed. Webstorms's editor understands html, javascript and css so well that it can even provide correct color coding and 'intellisense' in embedded in-line code. Its reformatting ability is easily the best, outperforming Sublime Text 2 which in my opinion is weak in this area. VIM is, well, VIM, and once you become proficient with its modality there is little it cannot do for you, especially when you consider its huge portfolio of add-on plugins. Both Webstorm and VIM are available on all major operating systems so the skills you learn on one OS can be carried over to any of the other supporting platforms.

Webstorm costs less than Sublime does but you get a heck of a lot more right out of the box and VIM is 100% free as in beer.

Thanks Jason, i will try it.

[Rodrigo Fonseca]

Webstorm?? I didn´t know, thanks for this tip guys.

Definitely agree with earlier posters - WebStorm is great.  It is a much larger and more full-featured IDE than something like sublime text because it's basically the IDEA java IDE with the Java plugin removed and replaced with javascript etc.

However, as I'm using coffeescript / jade / stylus rather than javascript / html / css it's not quite as good as it could be.  Its support for those languages isn't complete (eg. the editor will sometimes highlight syntax errors in valid coffeescript and fail to code-complete properly).  But I guess it's all early stages.

Also, totally agree with Mark Hahn - the git (or any source-control) integration is amazing.  It's in a different league to anything you can do in sublime text.  In fact I'd use webstorm just for that reason even if I had to edit everything in plaintext mode.

BTW: Is there a nice way to do coffeescript debugging in webstorm?  Rather than compiling to javascript and relaunching with node instead of coffee?  Does anyone have any tips?

[Rodrigo Fonseca]

There is any plugin for ejs file in webStorm?? I downloaded the webstorm but it doesn't recognizing els file.

[pie_lard]

I can't see one.  To be honest WebStorm won't support such a wide range of languages as the likes of textmate or sublime.

In fact I still use WebStorm to edit my stylus files and it doesn't support that either (ie. I edit them in plaintext mode).  The git integration in particular is so good that I'd rather use it than something that does have Stylus support.

[Rodrigo Fonseca]

I try to google it(i always try before post here), but all i found was this:

http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-814

I think that they will put this in the future? Anyone here that use webstorm can confirm this?

[Jeff Schwartz]

Configure ejs as html in webstorm. It works for me.

[Rodrigo Fonseca]

How can i do that? Create a html file and put ".ejs" in the end of the file?

[Dennis Kane]

I am using a JS implementation of an Unix style ncurses-like editor (using <canvas>) on my site that I call archiTex.  I wanted it to incorporate my favorite parts of nano and vim.  I like nano because of its sheer simplicity, and I like vim for all the fancy functionality.  I don't use it for too much at the moment, because all my my time has recently been spent in development.  But it is pretty rich in text selection/ file manipulation department.  I'm thinking about doing some JS color coding using JSLint sometime in the future (if I'm bored enough).  But I'm really interested in being able to construct arbitrarily structured tabular text files that can be easily used for runtime, in-browser data binding.  Those are some cool netbeans!

Simple.

1) Open Preferences.

2) Select File Types node in the left panel. This will expose all the recognized file types in the right panel.

3) In the list of recognized file types select HTML. This will expose the registered patterns for file types associated with HTML file types in the bottom right panel.

4) Click the + icon at the bottom of the bottom right panel. This will expose the Add Wildcard window.

5) In the Add Wildcard window there is a text box labeled "Enter new wildcard. Type *.ejs and clickOK. This will add *.ejs to the list of file types to be associated with HTML file types.

6) Click the Apply button and then the OK button, both located at the bottom right of the Preferences window.

And that's it. Now Webstorm will treat your *.ejs files as HTML files and provide proper color coding as well as code completion.

Thanks Jeff,

 I will try that when i get home.

I use hipster

https://github.com/dominictarr/hipster

it's written in js, and runs in the terminal.

basically, the same controls as notepad,

has very crude syntax highlighting.

... and bugs, but it's just good enough that it's my main editor.
