BMC tpl or tplpre language support in Atom

UPDATE 2023

I've moved all work to a separate repo. There are all updates and initial YAML files in dev folder to be used whenever you need (any tmLang supported IDE) https://github.com/trianglesis/bmc-tpl

Older info.

Adds syntax highlighting and snippets for tpl in Atom.

Originally re-made from the Sublmime text 3 bundle.

Build Logic for this package is not included, you can find it in separate repo

Installation:

• Copy 'language-tplpre' to: C:\Users\USER\.atom\packages\
• Move ".atom-build.yml" to your project root folder.

Better installation:

Go to settings -> Install -> Search "language-tplpre"

Use:

Set syntax: Ctrl+Shift+L -> type 'tplpre'

Syntax highlighting:

Most of constructions are also checking on integrity, so if some code will be written on wrong place, highlighting can be broken.

Example:

Pattern from Community Edition:

• 

Documentation block and tasks highlighted:

• 

Triggers:

• 

Regex expressions: (uses python regex grammar from "language-python")

• 

Syntax broken (highlighting will show it)

• 

Autocomplete and Doc links:

For common code blocks and usual constructions autocompletion is available. It also provide links to reffering documentaion for each function or block on official BMC Doc portal.

Pattern draft example:

• 

Code constructions usually used:

• 

Link to BMC official docs:

• 

Extra developers helping code:

• 

Automation, syntax check, upload pattern, etc:

You should download extra module for TPL Automation from repo below and attach to build system for Atom.

You can obtain build system in:

• Settings -> Install -> Search "build" build system

TPL Automation: BMC_TPL_IDE you can run most development routines automatically. Atom command templates you can found in Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P)

File in project's root - ".atom-build.yml" is example for TPL Automation build, place it in your project's root folder, where tpl\tplpre files are stored.

Contributions are greatly appreciated. Please fork this repository and open a pull request to add snippets, make grammar tweaks, etc.

Additional functionality will be added soon in both versions for Sublime Text and Atom.
