i recently started on a node project and two of the modules i'm using is express and EJS. but default i usually use eclipse as my IDE, it works well for java and decent for html and javascript. but one problem i'm having is that for .ejs files i get no markup color coding, or any form of code completion. it's basically just a plain file.
does anyone know how i can get eclipse to interpret .ejs files as .html files? i figure it's pretty similar except for the occasional embed tags. or a recommendation for an IDE more well suited to node.js/html/ejs development.
thanks!
For a specific file, try right-click, Open With -> Other... -> HTML editor. You can also set the file association globally under Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Associations.
On a Mac, the global setting is under Mac Option -> Preferences and all the same options.
As an addendum to rlegendi's answer, if you'd also like the proper html coloring, you need to go to "Content Types" (right above "Editors" in the Preferences). From here, select Text -> HTML and click on "Add..", including .ejs
For me, the best way has been:
Windows > Preferences > General > Content types
In window Content types i've selected Text > HTML
and window File associations click Add... and i've included *.ejs
