Editmode For Sublime Text

Editmode for Sublime is a simple plugin which adds a keyboard shortcut to Sublime Text, allowing you to instantly convert content inside to chunks - it will take the text, send it to the Editmode API which returns an identifier, and replace it with a Editmode helper. Used in conjunction with Editmode.js, it allows one to very quickly convert an existing site to be fully editable by anyone in a short space of time.

Setup

1. Install the Editmode Plugin using Package Control

2. Set your authentication credentials

• Every open directory in Sublime is seen as a project. In order to

  apply project specific settings, you need to save the existing open

  project: Project -> Save Project As

• I would recommend saving the project file in the directory you would

  like the settings to apply to.

• Once the .sublime-project file is saved, open it and add the correct

  path and chunks authentication token

{
  "folders":[{ "path": "." }
  ], 
  "settings": {
    "em_authentication_token": "YOURTOKENHERE", 
    "em_default_snippet_template" : "rails_erb",
    "em_snippet_templates" : {
      "rails_erb" : "<%= chunk('{label}','{identifier}') %>"
    }
  }
}

3. Open the project

• Close the current folder or files in Sublime, then hit "Project ->

  Open Project" and open the project you just saved.

Usage

Select a piece of text and hit cmd + shift + L in any open file inside a configured Sublime project.

• The em_authentication_token identifies the Editmode project where

  the chunk will be saved to. You can find this in your Editmode

  account.

• The plugin adds a keyboard shortcut (CMD+SHIFT+L) which you can use

  with any open file in a project where you have already specified

  your em_authentication_token.

• Select the text you'd like to replace, then hit the keyboard

  shortcut, and Sublime will send the text to the configured Editmode

  project, and add a view helper in it's place. (Currently this uses

  the rails view helper syntax, but this can be configured in time as

  we add more rendering plugins).
