Sublime JavaScript Scratch Pad

Try out JS right from Sublime

Requirements

Needs the NodeJS node command to be available in the shell PATH and that's about it for trying out vanilla JS. If you need to include external JS libs, you can configure them in the plugin settings.

Installation

Either through Package Control or to install it manually with Git: Clone the repository in your Sublime Text 3 Packages directory:

git clone https://github.com/bijoythomas/sublime-jsscratchpad JsScratchPad

The “Packages” directory should be located at:

• OS X:

  ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/

• Linux:

  ~/.Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/ or ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages/

• Windows:

  %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 3/Packages/

The plugin should be picked up automatically. If not, restart Sublime Text.

Usage

Use the JS Scratch Pad Sublime command to open a scratch pad in Sublime.

Type in your JS code and hit alt+shift+r to run it.

The plugin adds the following key bindings.

[
  {
    "keys": ["alt+shift+r"], "command": "js_scratch_pad"
  }
]

Settings

You can tweak the plugin settings through Package Settings > JavaScript Scratch Pad to provide the path to the node modules dir and how you would like to access the imported libs in the scratch pad

{
  "node_modules_path": "/Users/me/project/node_modules",
  "libs" : {
    "ramda": "R", // access ramda functions with the R. prefix
    "moment": "moment", // access moment functions with the moment. prefix
    "q" : "Q" // access Q library functions with Q. prefix
  }
}
