TernDef command to go directly to the source

[danihodovic]

If I have a file structure as such:

File foo.js

function foo() {}

module.exports = {
  foo: foo
};

File bar.js

var foo = require('foo')
foo.foo // call :TernDef here brings you to module.exports.foo instead of the source

Is it possible to go to the source function declaration instead of module.exports?

Also,

If module.exports are defined using the shorthand literal, tern can't find the original function even after calling :TernDef

function foo() {}

module.exports = {
  foo // :TernDef here won't take me to foo
}

Nope, this isn't possible. Tern will take you to where the property you are looking at is defined. This is usually the right place, but as you found, sometimes it isn't optimal. Still, I am not aware of a good way to distinguish between these two types of situations.
