Rename node_modules to ternjs

[paulvi]

started as #195 (comment)

inside https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/tree/master/core/tern.core/
rename node_modules to ternjs

Today the whole tern plugins are hosted inside https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/tree/master/core/tern.core/node_modules

I have not used npm for that, just copy/paste those tern plugins. So if you think those folder should be redone, don't hesitate to tell me. I think too this https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/tree/master/core/tern.core/node_modules should be deleted and move to a new Eclipse project tern.repository which hosts those tern plugins.

OK, for me it is not yet clear 100%

But for Node.js installed modules usually are to come into node_modules inside of new ternjs

Let's come up with word other than "repository" e.g. "ternjs folder" or "tern copy"

why, inside tern.java it's a tern repository, no?

[paulvi]

For me tern repository = https://github.com/marijnh/tern

OK, if check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repository one of the meaning is Repository clone,
and that is what we have.

Now I see

I think too this https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/tree/master/core/tern.core/node_modules should be deleted and move to a new Eclipse project tern.repository which hosts those tern plugins.

I think it will become confusing when inside https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/tree/master/core
there is tern.repository next to tern.core.
Isn't tern.core project a wrapper for tern? Then let tern be inside tern.core

[paulvi]

It is just because java package is tern. and it create folder tern like

..
angular
doc
internal
metadata
repository
resources
scriptpath
server
utils
Activator.class
IDOMProvider.class
ITernAdaptable.class
ITernFile.class
ITernFileSynchronizer.class
ITernProject.class
ITernResourcesManagerDelegate.class
TernException.class
TernResourcesManager.class

So we can't put tern here

[paulvi]

How do you actually run tern ? Do you use .bin folder?

yes, but tern.core is able to use any tern repository.

My idea is to have 2 projects :

• tern.core like today but which doesn't store ternjs
• tern.repository which hosts ternjs + custom tern plugin. It's the default tern repository which is used inside tern.java.

User can define their own tern repository. In this case tern.core will use this custom tern repository.

I use https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/blob/master/core/tern.core/node_modules/tern/bin/tern to start node tern server

[paulvi]

So .bin folder is to be deleted.

Do you want to give option to run different tern version e.g. from specified location ?

I also still have doubts. Maybe we should have our own JavaScript project e.g. xtern
that has tern as dependency and is capable of installing plugins...
possibly have some tern extension that were not accepted into tern code base, etc

I would try to run it without java, have options to update plugins, install new,

[paulvi]

I go home now. Will be offline for 2..15 hours

Ok

Tern repository exists for that. You can choose your tern location.

I also still have doubts. Maybe we should have our own JavaScript project e.g. xtern

I would like to move (if it's possible) https://github.com/angelozerr/tern.java/blob/master/core/tern.core/node_modules to a new project call tern.repository. This project will be the default repository, but you can customize your own tern repository.

@paulvi are you OK with that?

[paulvi]

sure.
