Detailed explanation of the process of developing an Atom plug-in

How to develop anAtomcomponent from scratch? The following article will introduce you to the process of developing an Atom plug-in. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

I use Atom to write blogs a lot recently, and then I discovered a very serious problem . .

There is no way I want to upload pictures. For example, you can directly copy/paste the file and then upload it.

However, no similar plug-in was found on Atom. The closest one still requires manual selection of files and then uploading.

This operation process is too cumbersome, so just write a plug-in yourself and use it.

Download address of the finished plug-in: https://atom.io/packages/atom-image-uploader

Planning

First of all, we determined the requirements. If you want to pass it, you can directlycopyfile, and thenpastein Atom to complete the upload operation.
After confirmation, we will start moving bricks.

Plug-in development

BecauseAtomis anElectronapplication: https://electronjs.org

is using ## It is a desktop application developed with #JavaScript, so for a front-end, it is simply wonderful.Let’s first look at the official documentation of
Atomto view the operations related to creating a plug-in:First we open the command panel in
Atom, and then enterGenerate Package

Package.

Atomwill generate a set of default files and open a new window.

. ├── keymaps │ └── first-package.json ├── lib │ ├── first-package-view.js │ └── first-package.js ├── menus │ └── first-package.json ├── package.json ├── spec │ ├── first-package-spec.js │ └── first-package-view-spec.js └── styles └── first-package.less

{ "atom-workspace": { "ctrl-alt-o": "first-package:toggle" } }

Valueis defined as:Package name: Triggered event nameIt should be noted that:
The shortcut keys configured here also have the concept of scope . That is the
keyoutsideJSON.
atom-workspacemeans it takes effect inAtom
atom-text-editormeans it only takes effect within the scope of the text editor.

Two files will be generated by default:

• ##package.js

• package.view. js

The main entry file generated by the default plug-in points here.

The entry file is expressed as a

object, which can implement the following functions:

• activate

  : This method will be executed whenPackageis activated. The signature of the function indicates that it will accept astateparameter, which is passedPassed by the serializemethod (if it is implemented)

##deactivate
• : The method that will be triggered when

  Packagefails. These two methods can be understood ascomponentWillMountandcomponentWillUnmountserialize

  in
React
• : That is, the method mentioned above can return a

  JSONobject for use after next activation.

  Customize the event name corresponding to the shortcut key: Each time

Writing tests is indeed a good habit.

styles

如果Package有很多View要展示的话，可以在这里编写，默认使用的是Less语法。
由于我们只做一个C/V的操作，不会涉及到界面，所以styles直接就删掉了。

开始搬砖

大致结构已经了解了，我们就可以开始搬砖了。
因为是一个Electron应用，所以我们直接在Atom中按下alt + command + i，呼出我们熟悉的控制台界面。

Atom是不会把Electron的各种文档重新写一遍的，所以我们现在控制台里边试一下我们的猜测是否正确。
一些想要的东西是否存在。

经过验证确定了，Electron的clipboard对象可以直接在Atom中使用，这就很开心了。

require('electron').clipboard.readImage().toPng()

这样我们就拿到剪切板中的图片数据了，一个二进制的数组对象。
我们在触发Paste操作时，从clipboard中获取，如果剪切板中是图片的话，我们就将它上传并显示到编辑器中。
所以，接下来我们要做的就是：

• 进行上传图片的操作

• 将上传后的图片显示到编辑器中

上传图片

上传图片我们选择的是七牛，我们选择七牛来作为图床使用，因为他家提供了10GB的免费存储，灰常适合自己这样的笔记型博客。
但是用他家SDK时发现一个问题。。我将二进制数据转换为ReadStream后上传的资源损坏了-.-目前还没有找到原因。
所以我们做了曲线救国的方式。
将剪切板中的数据转换为Buffer然后暂存到本地，通过本地文件的方式来进行上传七牛。
在操作完成后我们再将临时文件移除。

try { let buffer = clipboard.readImage().toPng() let tempFilePath = 'XXX' fs.writeFileSync(tempFilePath, Buffer.from(buffer)) } catch (e) { // catch error } finally { fs.unlink(tempFilePath) // 因为我们并不依赖于删除成功的回调，所以直接空调用异步方法即可 }

将上传后的资源显示到编辑器中

因为考虑到上传可能会受到网络影响，从而上传时间不可预估。
所以我们会先在文件中显示一部分占位文字。
通过全局的atom对象可以拿到当前活跃的窗口：

let editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor()

为了避免同时上传多张图片时出现问题，我们将临时文件名作为填充的一部分。

editor.insertText(`![](${placeHolderText})`, editor)

然后在上传成功后，我们将对应的填充字符替换为上传后的URL就可以了。

editor.scan(new RegExp(placeHolderText), tools => tools.replace(url))

scan方法接收一个正则对象和回调函数。
我们将前边用到的占位文本作为正则对象，然后在回调将其替换为上传后的url。
至此，我们的代码已经编写完了，剩下的就是一些交互上的优化。

完成后的效果图：

以及，最后：我们要进行Package的上传。

上传开发完的Package

首先我们需要保证package.json中存在如下几个参数：

1. name
2. description
3. repository

我们可以先使用如下命令来检查包名是否冲突。

apm show 你的包名

如果没有冲突，我们就可以直接执行以下命令进行上传了。

apm publish 你的包名

后续的代码修改，只需在该包的目录下执行：

apm publish

一些可选的参数：

1. major，增加版本号的第一位1.0.0->2.0.0
2. minor，增加版本号的第二位0.1.0->0.2.0
3. patch，增加版本号的第三位0.0.1->0.0.2

通过apm help可以获取到更多的帮助信息。

以上，就是开发一个Atom插件的完整流程咯。
