I was recently asked about what Atom packages I use, and I thought it’d be good to document it. These are the most used of the 38 Community Packages I’ve installed.
| Package | Notes |
|---|---|
| MagicPython | Syntax highlighter for Python |
| atom-beautify | Make code pretty |
| auto-detect-indentation | Auto-detect file indentation and set editor to match. |
| autocomplete-python | Auto-complete packages, variables, methods, etc. |
| autocomplete-webpack | ^^ the same, but for Webpack |
| git-plus | Git integration. Used mainly to see git state (branch and changed files). |
| go-plus | A must for Golang development. Helps enforce best practices (lint, tests, etc). |
| language-babel | Syntax highlighting for Babel |
| language-yang | Syntax highlighting for Yang |
| linter-flake8 | Linter plugin for Python, using flake8 |
| linter-js-yaml | Linter plugin for JS and Yaml files |
| linter-pep8 | Linter plugin for Python, using pep8 |
| linter-python-pep8 | Yet another Linter plugin for Python using pep8. I don’t remember why I’m using both. |
| linter-tidy | Linter plugin for HTML, using tidy. |
| pretty-json | Make JSON pretty and human-readble |
| sort-lines | Sort lines. Good when dealing with text files, but I miss Textmate’s ability to cat files to external commands, i.e., sort, sed, and awk. |
| teletype | Nifty way to do paired programming |
| tree-view-sort | Sort the tree view |
| wordcount | Handy for writing blog posts and other docs. |
