Project Manager

a 🍺 if you enjoy using the project manager :)

Get easy access to all your projects and manage them with project specific settings and options.

Install

$ apm install project-manager

You can also open Atom and go to Preferences > Install and search for project-manager

Use

List Projects

ctrl-cmd-p (mac) / alt-shift-P (win & linux) or Project Manager: List Projects in the Command Palette.

Projects can be filtered by title, group and template by typing group: atom which would give all projects with the atom group.

Save Project

Project Manager: Save Project in the Command Palette and write the title you want to save the project as.

Edit Project

Project Manager: Edit Project will open a page where you can edit the current project. It currently only supports certain fields.

Edit Projects

All projects are saved in a .cson file which you can easily reach by searching for Project Manager: Edit Projects in the Command Palette.

Project Settings

setting	Type	Description	Default
`title`	`string`	Projects title. Used in the projects list	`''`
`paths`	`array`	The folders that will open in the tree view. First path is the main one that counts as the project.	`[]`
`settings`	`Object`	Enables you to set project specific settings. Everything that goes in the `config.cson` file can go here. It also supports scoped settings.	`{}`
`icon`	`string`	Icon that shows in the projects list. It's class-based so can either be a class already provided by Atom like `icon-squirrel` or a class of your own. You can find a list of all icons on octicons.github.com.	`'icon-chevron-right'`
`devMode`	`boolean`	`true` if project should open in dev mode. Look here for more info.	`false`
`group`	`string`	Adds a group to the projects list that can be used to group and filter projects	`null`
`template`	`string`	If you add a project in the `projects.cson` file without `paths` it will count as a template. This way you can easily share settings between projects	`null`

Local settings file

All these settings can be added to a project.cson file in the root folder of the project. It follows the below example, but without the array.

Example

[
  {
    title: 'Project Manager'
    group: 'Atom'
    paths: [
      '/path/to/project-manager'
    ]
    devMode: true
    settings:
      'editor.tabLength': 4
      'editor.showInvisibles': true
  }
]

Provider

If you want to use the projects available through the Project Manager you can use the provided methods.

function consumeProjectManager({ getProjects, getProject, saveProject, openProject } => {
  /**
   * Get an array containing all projects.
   * The callback will be run each time a project is added.
   * Returns a Disposable.
   */
  disposables.add( getProjects(projects => {
    // Do something with the projects.
  }));

  /**
   * Get the currently active project.
   * The callback will be run whenever the active project changes.
   * Returns a Disposable.
   */
  disposables.add( getProject(project => {
    if (project) {
      // We have an active project.
    } else {
      // Project is either not loaded yet, or there is no project saved.
    }
  }));

  /**
   * Can take either a project recieved from getProjects/getProject or
   * just an object with the props for a new project.
   */
  saveProject(project);

  /**
   * Will open the project.
   * `openInSameWindow` should be true if the project should open up in the
   * current window.
   */
  openProject(project, openInSameWindow);
});
