Get language (file type) from Brackets

[aleung]

Brackets supports to define customized file extensions for languages in brackets.json:

    "language.fileExtensions": {
        "es": "javascript"
    }

Brackets supports a convenient way to add new file extension on UI by select in drop down menu. It adds above configuration automatically. See this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/a/21867052/94148

Can Brackets-Icons read it as well? I also notice that Brackets API has a method to get language from file path name, don't know if it helps or not. http://brackets.io/docs/current/modules/language/LanguageManager.html#-getLanguageForPath

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure whether this is easy to implement, but I do find this an interesting suggestion, so I'll take a look at this.

I just wanted to open an issue with the same suggestion. 😄

And it would be really cool, if you could also support the mappings in language.fileNames. 😎
