Node.vim require() helper

A plugin for Node.vim that manages your require() statements for you.

The plugin defines the commands :Require and :Unrequire, and aliases them to :R and :UR if those command names are available. These commands will manage the require() statements in a Node.js module for you, keeping the statements sorted and aligned.

These commands assume that all require() statements appear in a single block near the top of the file with no blank lines in between statements. They can be used as follows:

# Add: async = require('async')
:Require async

# Add: somelib = require('./lib/somelib')
:Require ./lib/somelib

# Add: _ = require('lodash')
:Require _=lodash

# Add: MongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient
:Require MongoClient=mongodb.MongoClient
# or:
:Require mongodb.MongoClient

Those parameters will all work with the corresponding :Unrequire command, but there, all you really need to specify is the module name (the part inside the require('...') quotes).

Installation

First, install Node.vim:

git clone https://github.com/moll/vim-node.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-node

Then, install this plugin:

git clone https://github.com/nylen/vim-node-require-helper.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-node-require-helper

If you're using Pathogen or similar (which you should), that's all you have to do. Otherwise you'll have to add the directories to your runtimepath yourself.
