API Notation Syntax for Atom

This is a grammar for api notation, a simple notation I've been using for annotating module APIs in specs and other documents.

Installing

From Command Line

code --install-extension rbdr.api-notation

From GUI

Open the Extension Manager from Palette Manager

1. Press ⌘⇧P on OSX or ⌃⇧P on Windows/Linux to open the palette manager
2. Look for `Install Ext4ensions

Open the Package Manager from Preferences

1. Go to Code -> Preferences -> Extensions menu item

Install it

1. Search for api-notation in the search bar
2. Click Install

Usage

Open a .api file, or set it as your syntax.

API Notation Reference

The most recent reference as of now is in this gist, so check that to be sure. But here's a reproduction of the notation.

NameOfClass.WithPossibleNamespace
   + class property
   - instance property
  ~> listened events (socket)
  +> listened events (class/module)
  -> listened events (instance)
  <~ dispatched events (socket)
  <+ dispatched events(class/module)
  <- dispatched events (instance)
  :: class method
   # instance method

Other symbols
  => returns
->() callback return
[xx] optional
<xx> data type

Recommended order: class first, then sockets, then instance. Internally:
Properties, events, methods.

// Anything after two forward slashes is a comment
