I haven’t seen one so I went ahead and whipped up this jQuery.sugar.

http://code.google.com/p/espresso-jquery-sugar/downloads/list

Features:
- Codesense for most jQuery functions
- Snippets for quickly creating a jQuery object and anonymous functions
- Syntax highlighting for functions and jQuery selectors

Will post more info at the project page. Let me know what you think!

Ha beat me to it! I was thinking about having a go at that this weekend It works really well.

Any chance you might put that baby up on GitHub? I’d love to be able to contribute to the project.

It’s a possibility. I purchased Versions, so I am keen on using svn at the moment. Plus google code has a lot of features that help with sugar development (bug tracking mainly). I’ll consider it.

Anthony: I haven’t done this myself, but I believe it’s possible to hook Git up to an SVN repository in order to work with Git locally but contribute to SVN remotely.

There’s no sugar for JavaScript yet, right?

It’s built in to Espresso.

Excellent!

It should be listed as supported then

Oh, but it does!

“what’s built in?

Espresso 1.0 supports HTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript and PHP out of the box. Publish using FTP, SFTP, FTP/SSL or Amazon S3.”

Must have missed it. If you try jQuery.sugar out, let me know how you like it!

Ah so it does. I saw this in the pinned posts:

- HTML, CSS, [removed] included by default
- PHP
- Python
- SQL
- ASP.NET
- Ruby
- Markdown

I know your pain Derek, I bought Versions as well, but now I’m using git more and more. Also, github lets you integrate Lighthouse bug tracker straight into your projects (which is free if your project is open source).

I find Lighthouse a bit unusable though, ugh. Maybe that’s just me.

And yes, you can port a git project over to Subversion, if you wish to keep Google Code synced with GitHub. I believe GitHub can even do that for you, though I’ve never used it.

i installed the jquery sugar but cant get it to show up, i installed it in
/library/application support/espresso/sugars

i also installed the ExpressionEngine sugar and that worked fine.

thanks for taking the time guys.

It doesn’t show up, as it extends the JavaScript Sugar. But start writing JavaScript in your code, and you’ll see some pretty neat jQuery methods popping up in your auto complete

sweet, thanks BeyondSanity.

Don’t mention it, I was wondering about the same thing myself before I started actually writing some jQuery specific JS.

Sorry for not getting to this sooner.

I am going to change how this acts, and have a specific jQuery language to prevent any collision with other js framework/library syntaxes. I’ll push an update this weekend and let you all know!
