Specify additional file types for languages.
Drop the dot before the extension to use extension matchers.
For example, you can associate .ex_em_el with text.xml in your config.cson
as follows:
'file-types':
'ex_em_el': 'text.xml'You can match with regular expressions, too. Most JavaScript regular
expressions should work; but, the system looks for a dot (.), a caret (^) at
the start, or a dollar ($) to identify RegExp matchers.
For example, you can associate /.*_steps\.rb$/ with source.cucumber.steps in
your config.cson as follows:
'file-types':
'_steps\\.rb$': 'source.cucumber.steps'NOTE: Extension Matchers take priority over RegExp Matchers.
You specify the scope name of the grammar. A grammar's scope name can be found in the settings for the package providing that grammar.
For example, the scope name for CoffeeScript's grammar (provided by Language Coffee Script package) is source.coffee.
Unfortunately, the a list of all scope names is environment-based (the user can install new language packages). Open up the Developer Tools Console and execute the following to get a list of all scope names registered in your Atom instance:
Object.keys(atom.syntax.grammarsByScopeName).sort().join('\n')Here's an example from the author:
- source.c
- source.c++
- source.coffee
- source.css
- source.css.less
- source.css.scss
- source.gfm
- source.git-config
- source.go
- source.java
- source.java-properties
- source.js
- source.js.rails source.js.jquery
- source.js.regexp
- source.json
- source.litcoffee
- source.makefile
- source.objc
- source.objc++
- source.perl
- source.plist
- source.python
- source.regexp.python
- source.ruby
- source.ruby.rails
- source.ruby.rails.rjs
- source.sass
- source.shell
- source.sql
- source.sql.ruby
- source.strings
- source.toml
- source.yaml
- text.git-commit
- text.git-rebase
- text.html.basic
- text.html.erb
- text.html.jsp
- text.html.php
- text.html.ruby
- text.hyperlink
- text.junit-test-report
- text.plain
- text.plain.null-grammar
- text.todo
- text.xml
- text.xml.plist
- text.xml.xsl
You probably don't want to assign the same file type to multiple languages...
