Atom-Package-Deps

Atom-Package-Deps is a module that lets your atom package depend on other atom packages, It's quite simple and shows a nice progress bar as a notification as the packages are installed.

How it works?

You need to have an array of package deps in your package manifest, like

{
  "name": "linter-ruby",
  ...
  "package-deps": ["linter"]
}

If you need to install package deps from a source other than https://atom.io, suffix a # character followed by a git remote (in any format supported by apm install):

{
  "name": "linter-ruby",
  ...
  "package-deps": ["linter#steelbrain/linter"]
}

Because the package installation is async, it returns a promise that resolves when all the dependencies have been installed.

'use babel'

module.exports = {
  activate() {
    // replace the example argument 'linter-ruby' with the name of this Atom package
    require('atom-package-deps').install('linter-ruby')
      .then(function() {
        console.log('All dependencies installed, good to go')
      })
  }
}

While the package name argument of the install() function is optional it is recommended to pass it explicitly since otherwise the lookup of the package name inflicts an overhead of roughly a few milliseconds.

API

function install(packageName = null)
