Julia support for Atom

Atom package for the Julia language. Originally based off of JuliaLang/julia.tmBundle, merged with new ideas from language-julia package.

Features:

• Syntax highlighting
• Snippets for common Julia keywords and constructs (see snippets/language-julia.cson)
• Toggle folding of docstrings

Installation

Installation happens normally either through apm install language-julia or through the install section of the settings tab within Atom.

Note: if you already have a different version of language-julia plugin installed (e.g. this one), you would need to remove it first using apm uninstall language-julia

Recommended Extras

• The Latex Completions package provides support for unicode characters similarly to the Julia REPL.
• The Indent Detective package will help you keep to the style guidelines when working on Base or packages.

Toggling docstrings

Two Atom commands are provided to toggle all docstrings or the docstring under the cursor: language-julia:toggle-docstrings and language-julia:toggle-all-docstrings. These are not assigned keys. Here is one example of adding these to keymaps using org-mode style keys:

'atom-text-editor[data-grammar="source julia"]:not([mini])':
  'tab':       'language-julia:toggle-docstrings'
  'shift-tab': 'language-julia:toggle-all-docstrings'

Contributing

We love contributors. Here are the steps we have taken to develop on this package:

1. Remove the official install of the package: apm uninstall language-julia
2. Clone the repository somewhere we can remember: git clone [email protected]:JuliaEditorSupport/atom-language-julia.git
3. Link the cloned package to ~/.atom (enter the following from the root of the repo directory): apm link .
4. Hack away!

When new features are added, you should write specs to show that the package is behaving as expected. To run the specs you need to do the following:

• Make sure you have the library's folder open in the current atom project.
• Then open the command pallete and select Window: Run package specs. On OSX this key-binding is ctrl+cmd+option+p.

This should open up a new window with the spec results.
