4 Notepad++ Plugins for Javascript Developers

Editor’s Note: This post is from 2012. The hottest editors in 2018 are vscode and editor.

Here are some Notepad++ plugins for JavaScript Developers that I found useful.

Tip:
You can install all the plugins using Notepad++ Plugins Manager located in the “Plugins” Menu.

1. JSLint

   
   Description:
   JSLint is a static code analysis tool used in software development for checking if JavaScript source code complies with coding rules.
   
   
   Tip:
   If jslint turns out to be strict for you, then I recommend that you try jshint.com.
   Does it make any sense to use JSLint and follow it?

2. JSMin

   
   Description:
   JSMin is a filter which removes comments and unnecessary whitespace from JavaScript files.
   
   
   Tip:
   The great thing about this plugin is that it formats and minimizes.

3. JSON Viewer

   
   Description:
   A JSON viewer plugin for Notepad++. Displays the selected JSON string in a tree view.
   
   
   Tip:
   If you get “Could not parse!!” error message, then reformat your code with JSON.stringify().

4. RegEx Helper

   
   Description:
   A Notepad++ plugin that allows users to develop regular expressions and test them against their open documents.
