Use

List Projects

You can filter projects by title, group and template. group: atom would list all projects with the group atom. Default is title

All projects are saved in a .cson file which you can easily reach by searching for Project Manager: Edit Projects in the Command Palette.

Project Settings

setting	Type	Description	Default
`title`	`string`	Projects title. Used in the projects list	`''`
`paths`	`array`	The folders that will open in the tree view. First path is the main one that counts as the project.	`[]`
`settings`	`Object`	Enables you to set project specific settings. Everything that goes in the `config.cson` file can go here. It also supports scoped settings.	`{}`
`icon`	`string`	Icon that shows in the projects list. It's class-based so can either be a class already provided by Atom like `icon-squirell` or a class of your own.	`'icon-chevron-right'`
`devMode`	`boolean`	`true` if project should open in dev mode	`false`
`group`	`string`	Adds a group to the projects list that can be used to group and filter projects	`null`
`template`	`string`	If you add a project in the `projects.cson` file without `paths` it will count as a template. This way you can easily share settings between projects	`null`

Local settings file

All these settings can be added to a project.cson file in the root folder of the project. It follows the below example, but without the project key.

Example

projectmanager:
  title: 'Project Manager'
  devMode: true
  group: 'Atom'
  template: 'coffeescript-template'
  paths: [
    '/path/to/project-manager'

API

The project manager provides a service that you can use in your own Atom packages. To use it, include project-manager in the consumedServices section of your package.json.

"consumedServices": {
    "project-manager": {
      "versions": {
        "^2.2.1": "consumeProjectManager"
      }
    }
  }

Then in your package's main module, call methods on the service

module.exports =
  doSomethingWithTheCurrentProject: (project) ->

  consumeProjectManager: (PM) ->
    PM.projects.getCurrent (project) =>
      if project
        @doSomethingWithTheCurrentProject(project)
