Mantra extensions for Meteor developers

Quickstart

1. Install plugin in Atom
2. Set your project type in the plugin preferences page (Javascript/Typescript/Redux/Apollo)
3. Start the plugin with "ctrl+alt+o"
4. If you are starting with a fresh project let plugin create all files for you
5. KNOWN ISSUE: When you let plugin create all files for you you need to toggle it once more, otherwise this step is not necessary

IMPORTANT: Currently works only with the default theme (e.g. Material design theme not supported) IMPORTANT: Previous CSON configuration needs to be rewritten in YAML

Functionality:

• custom pane to display Mantra modules and components
• automatically generate a module
• automatically generate module components from the menu
• NEW: automatically generate tests and stories
• NEW: support for various project types
• generate server components
• several snippets for mantra components ()
• init a new mantra app automatically
• NEW: easy definition of any mantra component via YAML

1. Code generation - It is possible now to modify the generated code based on placeholders (here I would like feedback on possible template structure and placeholders). Also, please not, how components are automatically registered inside index.js

2. Similar functionality for modifying placeholders works for module components

3. When new module is created it automatically creates all necessary directories and register module in main.js of the mantra app

4. It is possible to initialise all directories and mantra files in the empty Meteor project just by toggling the mantra plugin

5. Mantra plugin settings are kept in the mantra.json file

6. Context menu was disabled in mantra pane, as this led to problems with file deletion, which often led to unexpected deletes.

Configuration:

Plugin can be easily customised by creating a mantra.yaml file in the project root. In the configuration, you first define the structure of the panes that will be displayed, then you define following parameters:

1. For each directory you can define a template file with placeholders that will be created when pressing the "NEW" button on the directory
2. For each file you define the default content in the template
3. Files can be nested in the directories

For each template you define following parameters:

1. name - name of the template
2. text - text of the templete. You can use $1, $2 for the placeholders
3. placeholders - array of placeholders that replce $1, $2 from above
4. create - file is created by default when it does not exist
5. show - shows in the pane view. If this file is part of the already visible directory this has no effect
6. actions - define triggers when the file is created. This can either be create or replace. Create action creates extra files. Replace action replaces content in existing files.

Checkout extra configuration in the project repository. Following is an exemplary configuration for the "Classic Mantra Javascript" project.
