I'm new to Atom and JavaScript, Atom seems to be pretty good for web developing.

But to my best knowledge, it seems that there is no Atom package for enabling JavaScript autocomplete.

Does anyone know a package doing this or does Atom have a plan to support JavaScript autocomplete?

Since JavaScript is loosely coupled, providing a working autocomplete solution is not as easy as for statically typed languages like Java. Your best bets with Atom are the following packages:

  • autocomplete-plus - this is now bundled with Atom as the default autocomplete provider
  • ternjs - this looks pretty good, but requires some configuration.

I suggest you give these a try.
