Sublime Text 2 - 无法为 prompt() 创建一个弹出框

Question

I began using Sublime Text 2 for my Javascript coding and love it. I'm creating a small project that requires input from the user. Normally, or from previous practice, I was able to write:

var x = prompt("What city do you live in?") and have the string assigned to the var x

But, when I run this line of code in ST2 I get:

Exception: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: prompt.

I've installed Package Control but can't find a plug-in to address my need.I installed SublimeREPL and that didn't work for me.

Thanks, this is my first question on Stack. Any comments or assistance is welcomed.

Answer 1

you cannot run javascript in sublime text, the language to write plugins in python ,

the SublimeREPL require extra binary to be installed to run Javascript (probably node.js),

and even then the window.prompt is a browser API, not a javascript function (by default you are running at the window level which provide the default method with the need to prefix by the object name)

In conclusion your Javascript console REPL in most case does not have the prompt function/method/API available

Answer 2

I've never used JS to create sublime plugin, but you could use the function window.show_input_panel . Have a look at the sublime text 2 API .
