Atom Editor

Download and install Atom from https://atom.io/. See below for recommended packages and settings. Find settings for individual packages on the "Packages" panel in Atom's settings (⌘,).

Packages

linter-eslint

Install the linter package in addition to linter-eslint. See the guide on ESLint for additional details on the linter and using a shared linter configuration.

Settings:

• Disable When No Eslintrc File In Path - Checking this keeps ESLint from running when you open projects without a .eslintrc file. (disableWhenNoEslintrcFileInPath: true in config.scon.)

language-babel

Grammar for JSX, ES2015, and more. Especially useful if you want nice syntax highlighting on React projects that use JSX.

Settings:

• Turn off everything about transpiling, unless you really want your editor to transpile - typically this is left to a separate build step. (transpileOnSave: false babelMapsAddUrl: false createTargetDirectories: false in config.scon.)

docblockr

Makes it easier to write nicely formatted comment blocks.
