lambda-view is a JavaScript code reader that parses source files into an AST and renders them in a browser with layouts optimized for reading rather than editing. It is installed via npm and launched with the `lv` command, which opens files or URLs in a local web server.

Use cases

  • read large JavaScript source files comfortably
  • browse jQuery source code from a URL
  • view JavaScript code with AST-aware formatting instead of plain highlighting
  • read code on an iPad over LAN
  • open multiple JS files at once for study

When to choose

  • you need an editor or IDE with refactoring features
  • you need to read languages other than JavaScript
  • you need an actively maintained tool
