Prettier

DO NOT INSTALL

  • Goal
    • Only format projects that have an explicit prettier config file
  • Avoid prettier-ruby: it has been unreliable and even removed comments at times
  • Settings
    • ESLint Integration: yes
    • Format on Save
      • Format Files on Save—YES
      • Exclude: *.md
      • Only format if Prettier is found in your project’s dependencies—NO (Vue projects have it as a transient dependency)
        • But does seem to need to be installed in node_modules
      • Only format if Prettier config is found
      • Ignore files in node_modules
      • Note that you have to reopen the project in Atom after any config change to detect it
      • Note that, even if using Ruby, you do need to have installed the node_modules or it won’t run

Misc Config

editor:
  softWrap: true
tree-view:
  hideVcsIgnoredFiles: false

autocomplete-plus

  • Disable “Use Alternate Scoring” to avoid dop in Ruby
  • Keymap for confirming a suggestion: tab always, enter when explicitly selected

Per-language config (provided by editor-settings plugin)

  • open the command palette. Type Editor Settings: Open Grammar Config and press enter

python.cson

tabLength: 4

“Exclude VCS Ignored Paths”: true. This prevents search from searching node_modules. At one point it was hiding folders from the tree. But on two laptops in 12/2020 it was not hiding those folders.

Search and Replace

Regex

Find: {{paper-icon "(.+)"}}
Replace: <AppIcon @icon="$1" />

In Dec 2020 replace-all with a regex match appears broken: it always uses the placeholder from the very first match. To work around, run one at a time.
