tern-outline provides the outline Tern plugin which gives a support for Outline. This plugin is used by Tern Explorer View to fill it with the current content of JSDT JavaScritpt editor :

Tern Explorer- Show View

This View provides the same features than JSDT Outline but it tries to improve it. In previous screenshot, you can see Tern Explorer View and JSDT Outline. In teh following sample :

var arr = ["string"];

var n1 = 10;
n1 = "";

function sum(x1, x2) {
	var tmp = x1 * x2;
	return tmp;
}

var n2 = arr;

You can notice :

  • arr is an array of string (JSDT Outline doesn't shows that).
  • n1 is a number or a string (JSDT Outline doesn't shows that).
  • sum function body contains tmp variable (JSDT Outline doesn't shows that).
  • sum function returns a number (JSDT Outline doesn't shows that).
