             Summary: Editor should recognize the filetype via unix comment, from the first line
                 Key: NETBEANS-27
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-27
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: editor - Formatting & Indentation, editor - Parsing & Indexing
    Affects Versions: 8.2
            Reporter: Christian Lenz


I created a HTML5/JS Application with NodeJS, I activated express to use it. After next, the express.cmd created a project template. Inside the bin folder, there is a file called www. Here is a little example of the code:

{code}
#!/usr/bin/env node

/**
 * Module dependencies.
 */

var app = require('../app');
var debug = require('debug')('jade:server');
var http = require('http');

/**
 * Get port from environment and store in Express.
 */

var port = normalizePort(process.env.PORT || '3000');
app.set('port', port);

/**
 * Create HTTP server.
 */
{code}

NetBeans doesn't know that this is JS code, and it will not treat it as a JS file. So the editor should recognize the type from the comment from the first line, which comes from unix systems(?). I tried the same source in WebStorm and Visual Studio Code and it works very well as expected.

I don't want to set the mimetype for the www file to js, because it will affect every file, without having an extension, which is not good. I tried it and any file, which has no extension is now a JS file in my IDE.

So please let the editor set the mimetype from this comment, to the supported mimetype from NetBeans.


Regards

Chris
