Auto-Copyright 
Inserts or updates a copyright notice.
Usage
Insert
The auto-copyright:insert command adds the configured copyright text with the current year and configured owner text as a comment at the top of the file. The default copyright text looks like this:
## Copyright (c) 2015 by Placeholder Corporation. All Rights Reserved.#
It can be configured to say as much or as little as you want, though.
Update
When you execute the auto-copyright:update command, it updates the copyright year in a standard format by adding the current year to the list of years and compacting it in the following ways:
- Disjoint years are separated by commas: 2000, 2005 and 2010 are represented as
2000, 2005, 2010 - Years in a series are represented by the start and end years separated by a hyphen: 2001, 2002 and 2003 are represented as
2001-2003 - Mixing and matching works too: 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2010 are represented as
2001-2003, 2005, 2010
Configuration
Auto Copyright supports the following configuration settings:
-
auto-copyright.buffer— Number of blank commented lines before and after the copyright text. (Defaults to:1) -
auto-copyright.owner— Owner name to use when creating the copyright text. -
auto-copyright.template— Copyright template to follow.%ywill be replaced with the current year.%owill be replaced with the owner name. (Defaults to:Copyright (c) %y by %o. All Rights Reserved.)
Multi-line templates are supported. At the time of this writing, Atom's Settings View does not support multiline configuration attributes. In order to have a multi-line template, you must manually edit your config.cson using the CoffeeScript multi-line string format. For example:
'*':'auto-copyright':'template': """Copyright (c) %y by %o. All Rights Reserved.Some standard boilerplate license text."""
