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.

While there are already a few syntax files in the wild (some even forks from this project), the goal is to have a syntax file that has current keywords for modern ES/JS development and to be fairly lean and quick on loading.

This is the stock Javascript syntax file

This is with the Enhanced Syntax file

More screenshots here.

This is with the Enhanced Syntax file

• Using Vim-Plug (Which I recommend), add this line to your .vimrc

Plug 'jelera/vim-javascript-syntax'

• 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

• Indentation The recommended way is to use Prettier and ALE.

It 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
  • Coc.vim, as it supports Language Server Protocol as VSCode.
  • Tern for Vim
• Popular third-party libraries support like jQuery, YUI, Prototype, by javascript-libraries-syntax
