* Docco
This repository contains source code for slime-js emacs plugin, providing integration with [[swank-js][https://github.com/Gozala/swank-js]] backend.

** Installation 

   There are 2 pieces to make this work:
   
   1. The Slime piece, You're looking at it.
   2. the Swank piece.  

*** Installing Slime.js
    The best way to get this is to use package-install with Marmalade

#+begin_example
M-x package-install slime-js
#+end_example


**** Connecting to Marmalade:
     What, you don't have marmalade as one of your package sources?
     Are you NUTS?

     For Emacs 24, getting Marmalade is easy peasy:

#+begin_example
(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives

             '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
#+end_example

	For emacs 23, the steps are similar, except you need to make sure you have the [[Latest package.el for Emacs 23][http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git/blob_plain/1a0a666f941c99882093d7bd08ced15033bc3f0c:/lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el]]

*** Installing Swamk.js 
    For the moment, Gozala's branch of swank.js includes an easy
    install through NPM.  It looks hot.  Go get it.

    Get Node.js: http://nodejs.org/
    Get Swank.js: https://github.com/Gozala/swank-js 

** Using 

   There will be more documentation here soon.  For now, check the
   docco at https://github.com/Gozala/swank-js 

* Development

       There is big item on the development hit list:

** PROJECT Get rid of js2-mode dependency 
   Some people prefer espresso!

   here is a list of dependencies that need to be WHACKED:
     - [ ] js2-mode-wait-for-parse
       - [ ] js2-forward-sws 
       - [ ] js2-mode-forward-sexp  (js--forward-expression?  js--forward-functon-decl?  )
       - [ ] js2-node-at-point
       - [ ] js2-ast-root-p
       - [ ] js2-node-parent
     - [ ] js2-node-abs-pos
       - [ ] js2-node-abs-end
     - [ ] js2-mode-buffer-dirty-p
*** TODO Figure out why those functions are being used, and build a facade (of sorts)

** PROJECT Better buffer handling of the swank connection
*** TODO customize option to make the buffer invisible
*** TODO add ansi-mode hook on it so that it looks nicer.
