VIM Semantic JavaScript completion with YouCompleteMe?

is there any way to get semantic javascript code completion in VIM?

I've tried YouCompleteMe (YCM) and it gives me some code completion, however it is purely based upon my current buffer (or buffers?).

When I explicitly call :YcmCompleter, I get

ValueError: No semantic completer exists for filetypes: ['javascript']

I'm mostly working in node:sails.js and angularjs. I'd really appreciate a way of getting library methods suggested while typing (e.g. for angular, protractor / mocha / jasmine).

Thanks!

Solution

  • These answers being very outdated, and since I've struggle a little bit with it, here is an update:

    Javascript semantic support in Vim with YouCompleteMe is now supported via TSServer engine as explained in Ycm's HUGE readme
