How to add additional linters?

[damieng]

Still trying to figure out how to put documentation together. There are many parts and options. Will bear this in mind.

You should be able to run existing Atom linter packages without the core Linter package that provides the UI - the atom-ide-ui diagnostics package uses the linter v1 and v2 apis just like linter does and should be capable of displaying the results from those linters.

As for bundling additional linters with ide-php - Given there are many to chose from whichever we choose would not suit everybody's need and we'd end up bundling all of them which would make ide-php large and unwieldy. I think we'd rather keep linters separate at this time unless they are part of the underlying language server we're using for each package. They're often just concerned with syntax and semantics much more than formatting and style which leaves a space for linters to fill.

@damieng Thanks for the fast answer. I will give that a try and report back. (Uninstalling the base linter package now.)

Update: so sweet, it works! :) Love it that you used the same linting api so we can use any linters we want!! :)

Perhaps this feature and instructions could be added to the documentation?
