A list of atom extensions I use for data science.

Code execution

  • Hydrogen: allows to send any code selection to a kernel and visualize the results in-text, plus watches and more
  • hydrogen-launcher: launch terminal or iPython

The git bundle

Some of this may be superseeded by native git integration:

  • git-blame: find who wrote that cryptic code
  • git-diff-details: I think this does char-level diff
  • git-plus: basic git operations
  • git-time-machine: travel in the commit dimension
  • split-diff: view diffs side-by-side
  • tree-view-git-status:

The python bundle

Make Atom a python editor

  • autocomplete-python: autocomplete
  • docblock-python: docstring generator
  • linter-pycodestyle: check you code style
  • linter-pydocstyle: check your documentation
  • linter-pyflakes: check your code (alternative linter-pylint)
  • python-black: fix your coding style (or check out python-yapf)
  • python-debugger: enough said
  • python-indent: indent as you type
  • python-jedi: more completion
  • python-tools: Goto definition, show usages, refactor/rename and more for python files

The markdown editor

  • language-liquid: highlighting for html
  • language-markdown: highlighting for markdown
  • language-restructuredtext
  • linter-markdown: of course there's a linter
  • markdown-preview-plus: preview with latex math
  • markdown-table-editor: make tables a breeze
  • markdown-toc-auto: insert and autoupdate TOCs
  • markdown-writer: if you forget the markup
  • pandoc: the format converter
  • rst-preview-pandoc: because we need to deal with rst as well

Miscellanea

  • atom-notes: journaling or note taking in your editor (with markdown, latex etc)
  • autosave-onchange: data loss be gone; persistence is the default.
  • file-watcher: check for file changes caused by other processes
  • jekyll: blogging
  • magic-reflow: better than built-in autoflow
  • open-in-browser
  • pdf-view: view pdfs
  • pipe: pipe selection through external program
  • pretty-json: because we have to go through lots of it
  • project-plus: better project management
  • rename-tabs: because renaming files is part of refactoring
  • select-rectangle: when you need to pick a column; amazing with markdown tables where it selects columns
  • sort-lines: various sortin option
  • unity-ui: light theme without being blinding (supposed to be OS X friendly, not sure why)
  • xml-formatter: xml had json envy, so I installed this one too
