A boilerplate for creating atom packages using babel and react

A package boilerplate for atom using babel and React

I noticed that there were no good starter templates for creating an atom package for working with babel ( and react ). If you are not interested in working with React as your go-to tool then its pretty easy to strip it out.

This is something I extracted out of the excellent starting work done by Atom Minimap. There are package generators available as part of Atom Minimap - and it comes with babel, js and coffeescript package generators if you are interested.

Some of the code here is also inspired from the work done by Facebook guys in Nuclide. Nuclide is mostly written in React for the view layers - so you might want to check it out for best practices ( and general how-to's).

##How to get started

git clone https://github.com/ganarajpr/atom-package-babel-react-boilerplate.git mypackage

Then you will need to symlink this package from your .atom/packages folder.

cd ~/.atom/packages
ln -s path/to/mypackage mypackage

Once this is done

( ctrl-alt-r - Refresh if needed)

• open atom
• then ctrl-shift-p
• type test me hello world

You should see a modal open with a text editor in it.
