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.

    JavaScript Compressor and Comparison Utility.

  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.

Gallery Lister 0.6 Beta release

Hey Everyone,
Here’s a old script that I made back in 2007 called gallery Lister.
Basically it’s a simple link generator that generates links in numerical order. It’s really useful when viewing images all on one page.
You can check it out here, Gallery Lister Beta.

Summary:
    This is a javascript batch search script. It generates links or images of sequence data. -: Source
Usage:
    (*start number - *end number).jpg
Example:
    http://www.example.com/pics/(01-30).jpg
Result:
    http://www.example.com/pics/01.jpg
    http://www.example.com/pics/02.jpg
    ...
    http://www.example.com/pics/29.jpg
    http://www.example.com/pics/30.jpg
Tip:
    You can search multiple directories at once with the following format
    http://www.asdf.com/data/(234-235)/(34-54).jpg

Download Videos From Your Browser’s Cache

I watch tons of videos on-line in any given week from sites like youtube.com, dailymotion, and newgrounds.
From time to time I stumble across videos that I would love to keep in my video collections. The way that I save the videos is by saving the browser cache folder and searching for the video within there.
To simplify this process I use VideoCacheView from Nirsoft.net.
VideoCacheView is freeware and easy to use. All you do is download and extract the zip file, then launch the program.

Example
Let’s say that I want to download “TFS Abridged Parody Episode 24” from youtube.com.

TFS Abridged Parody Episode 24 Video

. All I would have to do are two step to get the file.
Step 1: Open the link and have the video load to the completion.
Step 2: After that launch VideoCacheView.exe and right click on the temporary file to save the video.
That’s it.

Once last thing. Most of the videos are in the flv file format. To solve this problem, you can use “iWisoft Free Video Converter” to convert from one file format to another, like wmv or avi.
