This simple plugin will save the file whenever it loses focus.</p> <h2><a href="https://github.com/sentientwaffle/save-on-blur">The Code</a></h2> <pre><code>stratus = require 'stratus' stratus.on "fractus.blur", (editor) -&gt; editor.save() </code></pre> <p><em>3 whole lines.</em> Not bad.</p> <p>The <code>fractus.blur</code> event is called whenever an editor loses focus, and the callback receives that editor.</p> <h3>By Bundle</h3> <p>If you want to apply the bundle to only CSS, Sass, and Stylus files:</p> <pre><code>stratus.on "fractus.blur", (editor) -&gt; syntax = editor.syntax?.name return unless syntax &amp;&amp; /^(CSS|Sass|Stylus)\b/.test(syntax) editor.save() </code></pre> <h2>Installing the plugin</h2> <pre><code>$ stratus plugin:install &lt;username&gt; path/to/your/plugin.coffee </code></pre> <h2>More info</h2> <p>For more information on writing plugins for Stratus, see the <a href="http://stratuseditor.com/plugins">plugin API</a>.</p> <p>A configurable version of the save-on-blur plugin is available on <a href="https://github.com/sentientwaffle/save-on-blur">GitHub</a>.</p> <p>There are <a href="http://stratuseditor.com/plugins#Events">plenty of other useful events</a> you can use.</p>
