Tern - get .tern-project default value

continuation to #160

@angelozerr how to get .tern-project default value ?

{"libs":["ecma5"],"plugins":{"node":{}},"ide":{}}

[paulvi]

As referenced in https://github.com/angelozerr/angularjs-eclipse/blob/master/org.eclipse.angularjs.core/src/org/eclipse/angularjs/core/AngularNature.java#L62

there should be something like

IIDETernProject ternProject = AngularProject.getTernProject(project);
ternProject.addLib(TernDef.node);
ternProject.addLib(TernDef.ecma5);
try {
    ternProject.saveIfNeeded();

Could to execute that ? Could to execute that without getting dependent on TernIDE (i.e. only if TernIDE plugin is installed)

Why not using ternNatureAdapters extension point? https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/wiki/Tern-IDE-Extension#user-content-ternnatureadapters

https://github.com/liferay/liferay-ide/blob/2db3aa2335081122716307585a73a2a9dc8f350b/jsdt/plugins/com.liferay.ide.alloy.core/src/com/liferay/ide/alloy/core/jsp/AlloyJSPFileConfiguration.java seems nice.

But it is not yet integration but promotion and option for users.
Plus I don't really know how to consume that extension point. I guess it will add dependency like tern.eclipse.ide.core;bundle-version="0.6.0", https://github.com/liferay/liferay-ide/blob/2db3aa2335081122716307585a73a2a9dc8f350b/jsdt/plugins/com.liferay.ide.alloy.core/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF#L13

Yes, this extension point is used for JSP files to set script inside custom elements (ex : aui:script).

Plus I don't really know how to consume that extension point.

Everything is explained at https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/wiki/Tern-IDE-Extension#user-content-ternnatureadapters

@PaulVI could you tell me exactly what you wish to do? I don't understand why you cannot use ternNatureAdapters ?

[paulvi]

I want to facilitate using Tern as promotion and option for users.

But I don't want so far to get TernIDE as dependency. It would be other issue how to get Nodeclipse and TernIDE installed at once...

[angelozerr]

If you want to have none dependencies to tern ide, you should try to initialize tern project at hand when a node.js project is created. Do do that, you must :

• create in the project root folder the .tern-project like this :

  {"libs":["ecma5"],"plugins":{"node":{}}}

• add tern nature

</projectDescription>
    <natures>
                .....
        <nature>tern.eclipse.ide.core.ternnature</nature>
    </natures>
</projectDescription>

That what is now, but the value used is different

 {"libs":["ecma5"],"plugins":{"node":{}},"ide":{}}

Ok, so I think tern is integrated inside nodeclipse, no?

how to get .tern-project default value ?

What do mean with default value, some preferences ?

[paulvi]

Well, we should stop here. The only tiny question left is whether {"libs":["ecma5"],"plugins":{"node":{}},"ide":{}} will make difference against {"libs":["ecma5"],"plugins":{"node":{}}

that is what would "ide":{} mean. But it is empty anyway, so it should not.

[angelozerr]

{"libs":["ecma5"],"plugins":{"node":{}} is information used by tern.js

"ide":{} is information used by tern ide. I could create an Eclipse preferences settings for tern, but I have decided to add ide. The ide JSON object contains list of script paths https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/wiki/Tern-Script-Path

But since 0.6.0, you can customize your script path with JSDT Include Path https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/wiki/New-and-Noteworthy-0.6.0#user-content-using-jsdt-include-path-for-tern-script-path In this case ide is empty because information about path are stored inside JSDT

[paulvi]

Great. I hope Nodeclipse 0.17 comes out this month with Tern as option,
then see what kind of questions are raised and what should be next.
