:autocmd FileType javascript iabbrev <buffer> abbreviation expanded_abbreviation

Is this what you were looking for? It will set an abbreviation for insert mode, that will work only when javascript filetype is open. It will not work in other filetypes nor in other buffers.

  • @juanpablo - For variations on the theme play with the filetype and the <buffer> option (throw it out if necessary). If neither works the way you expect, throw a little description in here, and i'll do my best to help.
