Credits

Description

This file is a fork of this file and the stock one

This version of this file features the following text highlights:

• Parenthesis, curly and regular brackets.
• The semicolon or comma at the end of line.
• Browser, DOM and "Ajax" keywords like objects, methods, properties and others.
• Operation, comparison and logical symbols (=,==,===,!=,etc.).
• Separate highlight of the arguments. Thanks to Billychan.

Installation

• Using NeoBundle (Which I recommend), add this line to your .vimrc

NeoBundleLazy 'jelera/vim-javascript-syntax', {'autoload':{'filetypes':['javascript']}}

• Using Vundle, add this line to your .vimrc

Plugin 'jelera/vim-javascript-syntax'

• Using Pathogen, run this command in your shell

git clone https://github.com/jelera/vim-javascript-syntax.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-javascript-syntax

Suggested Companion Plugins

• Indentation, can be achieved with Javascript-Indent by Preston Koprivica. On my testing, it has proved to be the most capable and also indents HTML and JS inside HTML. The project is unmaintained for now, but you could fork it and improve upon it.
• Autocompletion by Tern for Vim
• Popular third-party libraries support like jQuery, YUI, Prototype, by javascript-libraries-syntax
