What is BBEdit?

What is bbpackage?

BBEdit is a fantastic text editor for OS X. It's rock-solid, well-designed, and its project-wide search functionality is one of the best implementations I've come across. I much prefer it to alternative editors such as Sublime or Chocolat.

Unfortunately, BBEdit lags behind other editors when it comes to available plugins. BBEdit provides support for creating and sharing "packages," but no centralized mechanism by which these packages can easily be found and installed has existed... until now.

Installing BBPackage

Prerequisites

  • Node.js
$ sudo npm install -g bbpackage

That's it. You're done.

Searching for Packages

$ bbpackage search jshint

Installing a Package

$ bbpackage install jshint

Uninstalling a Package

$ bbpackage uninstall jshint

Registering a Package

The bbpackage utility works similarly to Bower, if you're familiar with that. Packages are registered on a first-come, first-serve basis, and must be available on GitHub. The following example illustrates how you would go about registering a new package:

$ bbpackage register jshint https://github.com/tkambler/bbedit-jshint

Package Format

To understand how to go about creating your own packages, it would be best to look at an actual example:

jshint

The BBEdit documentation defines a format that packages should follow (see the "Language Modules and Packages" chapter), and that is exactly what bbpackage expects, with one optional addition:

If you are familiar with Node.js and prefer to write your packages within that framework (like I do), within your package's Contents folder, you can create a package.json file. If this file exists, bbpackage will automatically install any defined dependencies when your package is installed.
