Feature & Usage

You can find most commands under menu item Tools | Hive Hint.

Toggle Javascript and Relevant Template File

For example, if current actived file is ah/comp/devicemanagement/DeviceList.js, press F1 key, the revelant template file ah/comp/devicemanagement/templates/DeviceList.html will be opened or switch to, vice versa.

Quick jump to module file current cursor point to

Assume | is our current cursor, and we are in "ah/util/AH|Component", press Alt + Q, module file ah/util/AHComponent.js will be immediately opened or switch to.

Goto Symbol Definition(only works with Sublime Text 3)

A more friendly version of sublime text 3's native Goto Definition(Goto | Goto Definition...) command, you can find the command under menu Tools | Hive Hint | Goto Symbol Definition, and the default shortcut is Alt + Shift + Q, feel free to have a try.

Copy Module Id & Copy Relative Template Path

If current actived file is ah/comp/devicemanagement/DeviceList.js, press Alt + Shift + Y key(or right click, you will find a menu item called Open Module Id if you don't like shortcuts), then the current javascript file's module Id will be copy to clipboard, you can paste it to any file you find appropriate.

If current actived file is ah/comp/devicemanagement/templates/DeviceList.html, press Alt + Shift + Y, the corresponding tempate path(./templates/DeviceList.html) relative to ah/comp/devicemanagement/DeviceList.js will be copy to clipboard, you can replace XXX in dojo/text!XXX with the copied path.

Insert Module Id

You can find this command under Tools | Hive Hint | Insert Module Id, also use its shortcut Shift + Space is more effictive.

Say we have the following code(see Before), we want to insert module dojo/Deferred before dojo/_base/lang, first we put two cursor before lang(see Preparation), then press Shift + Space to call out the registered module list, and find dojo/Deferred, press Enter key, we can get our result(see Result).

// Before
define([
	'dojo/aspect',
	'dojo/_base/lang'
], function (
	aspect, lang
) {

});

// Preparation(`|` means cursor)
define([
	'dojo/aspect',
	|'dojo/_base/lang'
], function (
	aspect, |lang
) {

});

// Result
define([
	'dojo/aspect',
	'dojo/Deferred',
	'dojo/_base/lang'
], function (
	aspect, Deferred, lang
) {

});
