Sublime Text Packages for Node.js/JavaScript

No comments
Since I started working on Node.js for an upcoming project, I've become a fan of Sublime Text. It is fast; extensible; has great community support; and most importantly, runs on Linux.

So far, I use Sublime Text exclusively for Node.js and web development (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript). Below, I've compiled a list of packages I found most useful.

As a prerequisite, Package Control needs to be installed. Installing Package Control is a matter of copy-pasting a code snippet to your Sublime Text console. Installation instruction is found here.

Once Package Control is installed, you can start installing other packages by opening the Command Pallete (ctrl+shift+p) and searching for "Install Package".

Without further ado, below are the packages (search for the text in bold):

Alignment
* Aligns various texts
* Use via ctrl+alt-a

BracketHighlighter
* Highlights brackets, braces, and parentheses.

* Use via ctrl+alt-enter

HTML-CSS-JS Prettify

  • For Sublime Text 3, each linter needs to be installed separately:
    • SublimeLinter-jshint (JavaScript)
      • Requires jshint
      • install via "sudo npm install -g jshint"
    • SublimeLinter-html-tidy (HTML)
      • Requires tidy 
      • install via "sudo apt-get install tidy"
