Enabling Intellisense for jQuery in Aptana

By August Marcello III|Javascript, Useful|Be the first to comment!

By default Aptana 3.x does not support Intellisense for JavaScript libraries such as  jQuery, YUI, Sencha, etc. So for instance if you are using jQuery and type the default alias - ’$’ Intellisense will display a prompt that states ‘No proposals’.

Luckily enabling Intellisense support for jQuery is very simple in Aptana:

  1. Got to https://github.com/aptana/javascript-jquery.ruble/tree/master/support
  2. Pick a specific version
  3. Save the SDOCML file (IE jquery.1.6.2.sdocml )
  4. Add the new file anywhere in your Web project. I prefer a project specific folder.
  5. Now type the default  alias - ’$’ again, and enjoy
To find a list of other current supported JavaScript libraries: JavaScript Library Support.
Hope this helps.
