Generators
Running the generators through Atom is really easy. When you first open the panel, it will bring up a list of file types to generate. This list is based on the output of ember g --help, and therefore should include all future blueprints as well as those added by addons automatically. Once you select a type, you'll be prompted to enter a name, and the output will appear in orange in the bottom panel.
Help! It's broken!
That might be the case! But first, check if specifying the path to the Ember and NPM packages fixes your problems. It probably, hopefully will. If it doesn't, please file an issue so I can try fixing it!
Known limitation: make sure your ember project is the first project (first in the list) opened in Atom.
Settings
| Setting | Purpose | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| Generate Coffeescript | Have all of the generators make CoffeeScript files instead of Javascript | false |
| Path To Ember Executable | Point the CLI helper to the Ember executable on your computer | /usr/local/bin/ember |
Path To node Executable | Point the CLI helper to the node executable on your computer | /usr/local/bin/node |
Todo List
- Open
ember-cli-helperautomatically if the package uses the Ember CLI - Differentiate a task's button from the others when it is active
- Use the editor's theme to get colors for success and error in the command output
- Give some sort of visual feedback about the running command when the panel is minimized
- Include a panel for running the file generators
- Add convenience shortcuts to switch between component and template (and route and ...)
- Add option to enter components when clicking something over {{forms/super-select ... }} --> opens components/forms/super-select.js
Troubleshooting
Some users have experienced problems running the commands when they openning their project through the File > Open menu. If this happens to you, try opening the project from the command line with the atom command see if that fixes the issue.
If the generators button doesn't work, ember-cli-helper probably can't find your ember project. Double check all the paths and make sure your ember project is the first opened project.
Very special thanks to @alexlafroscia for creating the original atom plugin!
Special thanks to @nickclaw and his atom-grunt-runner package, which was @alexlafroscia's inspiration for building this and a big help in putting it together.
Finally a big thank you to Apprentus for paying me to work on this! :)
