Javascript indentation in VIM

Question

I\'m trying to get VIM to indent Javascript with the \'=\' and related commands. When I try to auto indent the following, for example:

   new function($) {

I had the same problem some time ago and the solution was the plugin "vim-javascript". It is JavaScript bundle for vim providing syntax and indent plugins.

The installation is very simple.

If you are using pathogen, use the follow steps:

  cd ~/.vim/bundle
  git clone https://github.com/pangloss/vim-javascript.git

If you are using vundle use the follow steps:

Add the follow line to your vimrc file:

Plugin "pangloss/vim-javascript"

And install it:

:so ~/.vimrc
:PluginInstall
