How can I enable syntax highlighting for .vue files in Atom?

Viewed 20705

I'm starting up with Vue.js. The first problem I've run into is that my IDE (Atom) doesn't beautify my .vue files. It's all just white text.

How can I make Atom highlight .vue files properly?

The Vue.js project maintains Awesome Vue.js, "a curated list of awesome things related to Vue.js".

This includes a list of useful Atom packages for Vue.js:

Note that currently the language-vue and language-vue-component do not play nicely together, as discussed here. For now, for syntax highlighting in Atom your best bet is language-vue only.

Use in your command prompt:

apm install language-vue

for syntax highlighting.

There is another Atom package which seems to only beautify it but doesn't do syntax highlighting:

apm install vue-format

You may need to exit Atom and then restart it.
