Don't report tags for imported content

[hoschi]

At the moment jsctags reports tags for imported content, e.g.:

import {foo, bar} from './myModule';

export default foo(bar());

will report the tags foo and bar. This leads to the problem that pressing ctrl+] on foo in line 3, vim will jump to line 1. What I really want is jumping to the definition of foo in './myModule' and not the local declaration of foo. Not reporting the import statements would lead to:

• pro
  • easy jumping between files
  • smaller tag files
• contra
  • no listing of declarations from import statements in Tagbar or something like that

In my opinion the pros have more weight than the cons, thoughts?

foo and bar are still a symbol declared in the scope of that file. IMHO they should be present the tags.

Agreed, ctrl-] in line 3 should bring you to line 1 but ctrl+] on line 1 should then lead to myModule.

Ok, upon further reading:
This is not an issue with jsctags. When you work with g] you can see that all relevant tags are there, ready to be used. It is more of a problem with vim and tag navigation. Heres something to read on that (and some some solutions which work quite well).
