It's kind of silly. There are design tools that don't let you write JavaScript. There are JavaScript tools that don't let you write server side JavaScript (or any other language). There are server aware tools that don't let you run on your own servers. And that's before discussion of collaboration et al.<p>Is there a reasonable workflow out there?
If you set up a node.js project with Webstorm through the Webstorm UI and deploy with a plugin or built in feature you've pretty much get the most fully integrated IDE there is for node projects. It has testing built in, debugging inside the IDE, dynamic updates your browser, supports a ton of JavaScript libraries and npm as well as React and ES6/ES7 syntax. There's nothing else really like it.<p>IntelliJ based browsers haven't been slow in a long time, but they're even faster now, just be sure you exclude node_modules and library directories by right clicking them and things will move pretty quickly.
You probably mean for web projects. If you mean a browser based IDE instead your options are Koding, Nitrous.io, Cloud9, CodeAnywhere, Codio, and CodeEnvy (that is into Eclipse Che). We're integrating Koding with GitLab to give a very integrated workflow <a href="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/12759" rel="nofollow">https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/12759</a>
Visual Studio and Webstorm are the most complete I'd say. Surely you can use Eclipse or IntelliJ (with kotlyn).<p>--<p>Wait, when you say "web ide", do you mean "to make web projects" or do you mean "web-based ide"?
Hi dakami,<p>I think that SourceLair (<a href="https://www.sourcelair.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.sourcelair.com</a>) could fit your needs.<p>It let's you work on Node.js web applications in your browser and write both client side (including React JSX) and server side JavaScript.<p>You also get an HTTPS public URL (subdomain) that works out of the box with Node.js, while it integrates with Git and GitHub in order to collaborate and lets you deploy your projects to Heroku with a single click.<p>You can try it out for free at <a href="https://www.sourcelair.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.sourcelair.com</a>.<p>Disclaimer: I am one of the people who co-founded and built SourceLair.
Hi Guys, I am the cofounder of Codeanywhere.com , so I can't say we are the best, but I would definitely appreciate it if you tried us out. We use Codeanywhere to actually build Codeanywhere; frontend, backend and even mobile. Also I always love to hear feedback.
I would encourage you to check out Eclipse Che and Eclipse Orion. Eclipse Che will let you set up your own hosted workspace. Eclipse Orion is embedded within Che and provides language extensions for JavaScript and Web development. The technology are platform-centric, so there is a lot of embedded use by vendors packaging new products. They are the platform for SAP Hana, Samsung ARTIK IDE, OpenShift IDE, VSTS. There are various other projects happening within the Cisco, Salesforce, Mongo, Go, C++, SAS communities. Che and Orion have hosted versions run by Codenvy & Eclipse, respectively. Both services are free on the hosted front. I am the project leader for Che & CEO of Codenvy.
If you can overlook the RAM consumption and occasional slowness, Eclipse is actually a pretty amazing tool as an integrated platform. I routinely edit client side, server side, HTML, CSS and multiple back end languages (python, PHP, Groovy) all in a single integrated setup including integrated debugging etc. I think for single language stuff there's nearly always something better, but at pulling it together I don't know anything as good as Eclipse (probably Visual Studio might be but I have not used recent versions in that capacity).
Although their focus has shifted to education, Codio is my favourite Web IDE<p><a href="https://codio.com/features/ide/" rel="nofollow">https://codio.com/features/ide/</a>
Maybe have a look at this Mozilla stuff?<p><a href="http://blog.humphd.org/thimble-and-bramble/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.humphd.org/thimble-and-bramble/</a>
Sublime Text 3 with a build system ( I simply press cmd+b to run a standalone javascript file there on the spot in ST3 ), and node-debug to debug standalone scripts (from the command line with iTerm). Works amazingly.<p>Everything else, command line. I used to be the biggest IDE fan ( had my Eclipse kitted out with 4GB allocated, all the hotkeys, etc ), but I don't do Java or AS3 programming anymore and even though sometimes i still find myself missing certain types of autocompletion, I've started to become jaded on the concept of IDEs as the command line is just so much more versatile and memory efficient. Sublime Text and the command line are really all you need these days, unless you're doing C#/C++ ( in which case I'd suggest Visual Studio ) or iphone native (Xcode obvi).
I once met someone named James Robey who was working on dom algebra, an os that works entirely out of html dom tags (no javascript). I saw him use a working demo of it online, but it may have evaporated.. feel free to google! ;-]
As a free alternative to let's say WebStorm i have been using NetBeans for some time. It integrates HTML, JS, Angular and CSS in a usable way and has many plugins (browser js debugging, nodejs). It is worth a try.
Though its not an IDE, you can try using Visual Studio Code. This is free, open source and works in both Windows and Linux and have plugins available.Moreover, it itself is built using Javascript.
Have you used Cloud9? It sounds like exactly what you're looking for. If you have and didn't like it what was it missing? (I work for Cloud9)
