description
This is a plugin for the Vim text editor to highlight JavaScript code
according to its scope. This was inspired by an idea by Douglas Crockford
in his presentation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkZFtimgAcM) at YUIConf 2012.
(See from around the 16 minute mark onwards.)

The GitHub repo will always have latest version:

https://github.com/bigfish/vim-js-context-coloring
 
install details
Node.js is currently required for the script to work.

Recommended Installation Method: Use Pathogen.
