Popular Elixir Packages
List of popular Atom.io Elixir Packages. These can be installed via atom’s package center or a command line with apm install [package]:
atom-elixir
atom-elixir-playground
autocomplete-elixir
(@OvermindDL1: love it)
Config:
- Atom must be opened at a level with a
mix.exsfile - either umbrella or an application. If opened in a higher repo folder, autocomplete will not work. - Be sure to set elixir file path and erlang directory path in the package settings.
build-elixir
elixir-cmd
language-elixir
linter-elixir-credo
(@OvermindDL1: love it)
- Enables linting as you type(!)
- TIP: If you are using umbrella application, then a single
.credo.exsconfig file can be placed in the umbrella app’sconfigfolder.
phoenix-elixir-snippets
This contains snippets not only for the phoenix *.ex files (controllers, views, etc.), but also for templates. Very handy if you don’t want to keep typing <%= for ... %> and the like 
phoenix-migrations-navigation-atom
This allows you to quickly open the most recent migration in a phoenix app.
- Must have Atom opened with the phoenix app at the root.

I originally created this because I didn’t want to hijack the Famous thread any more on specifics with atom configuration, but I wanted to continue the discussion.

Also, a good thread is “Which code editor (or IDE) do you use?”

The mods (or people promoted to Level 4 I think) can split topics too, but since we cannot, here is my relevant post from there. 
I have installed:
- atom-elixir
- atom-elixir-playground (I’m not sure if I’ve ever touched this one yet though)
- autocomplete-elixir (love it)
- build-elixir
- elixir-cmd
- language-elixir
- linter-elixir-credo (love it)
- phoenix-elixir-snippets
I’m not entirely sure all which commands and functionality I use from which, but I like my work-flow.
EDIT: I also use Elm, and the atom-plugins for elm well out-do that for other IDE’s.

Hmm, it seems to work fine for me (not perfectly instant-appearing, though this is a quite a large project): https://overminddl1.com/screenshots/work/Atom-Elixir-0.gif
I’m just typing random stuff, occasionally have to stop to think of what to type next but it lets you see what is appearing at least. ^.^

Hah. I was looking into one of the other packages you mentioned, elixir-cmd, and at the bottom of its readme it has:
it is active when the project has a mix file in its root directory
At some point in the past, I started using Atom at the base directory of my repo and not the umbrella app. This has brought back the functions. I wonder if atom-elixir works now.
Edit: Submitted a PR for the readme.
