esgoggles

Browser ide for reading and exploring javascript code.

Demo 1 -- style 1: http://keeyipchan.github.com/esgoggles/demo/style1.html (use Chrome) Demo 2 -- style 2 with variable scopes: http://keeyipchan.github.com/esgoggles/demo/style2.html (use Chrome)

Purpose

• Reading badly-formatted code is a hassle
• People don't always agree on preferred formatting, why not make it an individual preference?
  • Represent the AST in the DOM, use jQuery for traversal, and CSS for styling
  • Share plugins or themes suited for specific libraries or audiences (novice, expert, jQuery, extJS, etc..)
• Javascript needs better static analysis tools; even better if they're interactive, allowing you to explore
  • escope provides valuable insight about your code

Samples

Don't like certain keywords? Use CSS to replace with something you prefer

es.FunctionDeclaration > es.id:before,
es.FunctionExpression > es.id:before
{
	content: 'λ ' /* Show a symbol instead of 'function' */
}

Don't like parentheses except around function parameters? Use CSS

es.params
{
	margin-left: 4px;
}
es.params:before
{
	content: '(';
}
es.params:after
{
	content: ')';
}
es.params > es:before {
	content: ',';
	display:inline-block;
	margin-right: 20px;
}
es.params > es:first-child:before {
	content: '';
	margin-right: 0px;
}
