Ansible Syntax Highlighting Package

This extension add 2 grammars to enable syntax highlighting for Ansible in the Atom Editor.

• Ansible: It's based on the original Ansible Sublime-text package with my own fixes.
• Ansible (advanced) : It's based on YAML language of 2015 FichteFoll fichtefoll2@googlemail.com with modifications to support :
  • Jinja language
  • Jinja expressions for ansible conditions (when, changed_when, failed_when, check_mode)
  • Some YAML block scalar

Adding ansible yaml file detection

For now both methods doesn't support syntax highlighting based on path see (host_vars/group_vars) below.

Using file-types package

After installing file-types package user can define custom syntax associations for proper matching.

config.cson

"*":
  "file-types":
    ".*.yml$": "source.ansible"
    ".*/group_vars/.*": "source.ansible"
    ".*/host_vars/.*": "source.ansible"

Atom Custom File Types

Manually defining custom file types.
