### Package Repositories
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the repository for the core Atom editor only. Atom comes bundled with
|
|
|
|
many packages and themes that are stored in other repos under the
|
|
|
|
[atom org](https://github.com/atom) such as [tabs](https://github.com/atom/tabs),
|
|
|
|
[find-and-replace](https://github.com/atom/find-and-replace),
|
|
|
|
[language-javascript](https://github.com/atom/language-javascript),
|
|
|
|
and [atom-light-ui](http://github.com/atom/atom-light-ui).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you think you know which package is causing the issue you are reporting, feel
|
|
|
|
free to open up the issue in that specific repository instead. When in doubt
|
|
|
|
just open the issue here but be aware that it may get closed here and reopened
|
|
|
|
in the proper package's repository.

* Avoid placing files in `vendor`. 3rd-party packages should be added as a
|
|
|
|
`package.json` dependency.
|
|
|
|
* Files end with a newline.
|
|
|
|
* Requires should be in the following order:
|

|
|
|
* Built in Node Modules (such as `path`)
|
|
|
|
* Built in Atom and Atom Shell Modules (such as `atom`, `shell`)
|
|
|
|
* Local Modules (using relative paths)
|
2013-05-08 22:30:34 +04:00
|
|
|
* Class variables and methods should be in the following order:
|
|
|
|
* Class methods (methods starting with a `@`)
|
|
|
|
* Instance methods
|

|
|
|
* Beware of platform differences
|
2013-12-04 20:48:22 +04:00
|
|
|
* Use `require('atom').fs.getHomeDirectory()` to get the home directory.
|
2013-11-27 23:20:22 +04:00
|
|
|
* Use `path.join()` to concatenate filenames.
|

|
|
|
* Temporary directory is not `/tmp` on Windows, use `os.tmpdir()` when
|
|
|
|
possible
