How do I set up JavaScript in Sublime 3?

Question

I am new to JavaScript and wanted to set up my work environment. My problems might be basic or I look totally in the wrong direction so please advise me.

I am used to work with Sublime 3 and wanted to use it for writing JS code as well.

I spend half of a day on reserach for various autocomplete/support plugins for JavaScript but none of them seems to be working properly. Topics on subject are either outdated or misleading.

For example, none of them recognizes basic objects like: document. or window.onload etc. (there is no autocompletion although it would be highlighted properly).

I tried:

• JavaScript Enchancements and Completions - they don't work. I have read that there are some issues with running those two on Windows

• Babel - doesn't have autcomplete

So in the end my question is: How do I set up Sublime and JavaScript or how can I get basic autocompletion in for JavaScript in Sublime 3?
