Upgrade the Atom editor to an integrated development environment (IDE)!

After the release of Atom 1.21 Beta last week, GitHub introduced Language Server Protocol support to integrate its newly built Atom-IDE project, which has 5 popular language servers built-in, including JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, Java, C# and Flow, and more language servers are coming...

GitHub's Damien Guard explains: "Each package of the IDE provides a selection of features based on the underlying language server and is activated when opening a file it supports. You need to install at least two packages: Atom The user interface of the IDE and the software packages that support the language."

Turn Atom into Atom-IDE

If you want to experience Atom's IDE capabilities, it's easy with the help of the Atom-IDE project. You just need to open the install package dialog box in Atom's settings window, and search and install the atom-ide-ui package there.

This will render the IDE interface in your Atom, but to be a fully working IDE you will also need to install support for your language server. Currently, you can choose from five languages: ide-typescript (TypeScript & JavaScript), ide-php (PHP), ide-java (Java), ide-csharp (C#), and ide-flowtype (Flow).

Of course, these features require you to install and use Atom 1.21 Beta in order to use it. It is still a Beta version and the official version will not be released until next month.
