es-vim.js

Vim.js : JavaScript port of Vim

Using the Library

The library is split in two components

• web/em_vim.js and either web/vim_loader.js or web/vim_ww_loader.js for the backend
• web/vim_canvas_ui.js for the frontend

See web/vim.html for an example

Development

see TODO for planned changes

To modify the native code and core library you will need:

• emscripten (working with 1.36.0), cproto, likely others
• to clone coolwangu's port of vim to native/clean-vim.js
• to apply native/main.patch to native/clean-vim.js/src/main.c
• you may need to comment out lines in src/os_web.c relating to <sys/acl.h>

    -# ifdef HAVE_SYS_ACL_H
    -#  include <sys/acl.h>
    -# endif

• read native/config.sh before building, it temporarily moves the emcc binary, make sure this is ok with your setup
• run/see clean-rebuild-all.sh, rebuild-js.sh, and rebuild-native.sh

Thanks
