linter-codeclimate: Atom Integration for the Code Climate CLI

An Atom package for the Code Climate command line tool. Uses the awesome Atom Linter infrastructure.

Installation: Code Climate CLI

Note that these instructions assume that you have Docker and Atom already installed

To use the Code Climate Atom Package you must have the Code Climate command line tool installed.

If you don't already, you can install it like this (assuming Mac OSX with brew - Linux instructions can be found in the CLI repo README):

brew tap codeclimate/formulae
brew install codeclimate

You can test that the installation worked correctly by invoking codeclimate version - if a version number is printed - you're ready to roll!

Once you have the CLI installed, you'll want to make sure that the engines you need to analyze your code are installed locally. If the repo you want to analyze already has a .codeclimate.yml file, you can run:

cd MYPROJECT
codeclimate engines:install

And that should take care of it for you. If you'd like to analyze a project which has never been analyzed by Code Climate before, the CLI can take care of that for you as well! Just run:

cd MYPROJECT
codeclimate init
codeclimate engines:install

The CLI will detect the file extensions of the code in your project and turn on engines which are meant to analyze those languages or frameworks. You're now ready to test the CLI with your code! Just make sure ou are still in the same directory as your project's .codeclimate.yml and run:

codeclimate analyze

And you should see some progress, and most likely, some results. Cool! Now it's time to get it working in your editor.

Installation: Atom Package

Once you have a functioning installation of the Code Climate CLI, you're ready to see the same results within the comfort of your favorite text editor. Install the linter package, the linter-codeclimate package, and make sure any of the language modes you prefer are also installed.

Once these are installed, reload your editor (View -> Reload from the Atom menu), open a file of your choice, and save it. Code Climate analysis will run in the background and then pop up results that you can inspect right inside Atom. Awesome! You're now linting with superpowers.
