*__Coming soon__*
This post will walk you through setting up your editor so that recognises Svelte files:
* eslint-plugin-svelte3
* svelte-vscode
* associating .svelte files with HTML in VSCode, Sublime, etc.
## Atom
To treat `*.svelte` files as HTML, open *__Edit → Config...__* and add the following lines to your `core` section:
```cson
"*":
core:
…
customFileTypes:
"text.html.basic": [
"svelte"
]
```
## Vim/Neovim
You can use the [coc-svelte extension ](https://github.com/coc-extensions/coc-svelte ) which utilises the official language-server.
As an alternative you can treat all `*.svelte` files as HTML. Add the following line to your `init.vim` :
```
au! BufNewFile,BufRead *.svelte set ft=html
```
To temporarily turn on HTML syntax highlighting for the current buffer, use:
```
:set ft=html
```
To set the filetype for a single file, use a [modeline ](https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Modeline_magic ):
```
<!-- vim: set ft=html : -->
```
## Visual Studio Code
We recommend using the official [Svelte for VS Code extension ](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=svelte.svelte-vscode ).
## JetBrains WebStorm
The [Svelte Framework Integration ](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/12375-svelte/ ) can be used to add support for Svelte to WebStorm, or other Jetbrains IDEs. Consult the [WebStorm plugin installation guide ](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/managing-plugins.html ) on the JetBrains website for more details.
## Sublime Text 3
Open any `.svelte` file.
Go to *__View → Syntax → Open all with current extension as... → HTML__* .
