Tagbar with Coffeetags for coffeescript in vim

12 June 2014

Tagbar provide a sidebar in vim to show the tags from ctags of current file. But ctags doesn’t support coffeescript, so we have to add tag rules manually in ~/.ctags or just add a config for tagbar, to make tagbar use CoffeeTags when we are editing file in coffeescript.

and add the following to .vimrc:

if executable('coffeetags')
  let g:tagbar_type_coffee = {
    \ 'ctagsbin' : 'coffeetags',
    \ 'ctagsargs' : '',
    \ 'kinds' : [
      \ 'f:functions',
      \ 'o:object',
    \ ],
    \ 'sro' : ".",
    \ 'kind2scope' : {
      \ 'f' : 'object',
      \ 'o' : 'object',
    \ }
  \ }
endif
