codemirror.dart #


What is it? #
A Dart wrapper around the CodeMirror text editor. From
codemirror.net:

CodeMirror is a versatile text editor implemented in JavaScript for the
browser. It is specialized for editing code, and comes with a number of language
modes and addons that implement more advanced editing functionality.

Note: This is NOT a Flutter package, it is a Dart package for writing web applications
like DartPad.
An example #
final options = <String, String>{
'mode': 'javascript',
'theme': 'monokai'
};

final editor = CodeMirror.fromElement(
document.querySelector('#textContainer')!, options: options);
editor.doc.setValue('foo.bar(1, 2, 3);');

How do I use it? #
In your main html file, link to the style sheet:
<link href="packages/codemirror/codemirror.css" rel="stylesheet">
copied to clipboard
reference the CodeMirror JavaScript code:
<script src="packages/codemirror/codemirror.js"></script>
copied to clipboard
and, in your Dart code, import the library:
import 'package:codemirror/codemirror.dart';

What about modes? Addons? #
This Dart package ships with several language modes built in. CodeMirror itself
supports over 100 modes; the modes built into the Dart package include the
usual suspects for web development - css, html, dart and javascript as
well as a few
others.
In order to add additional modes, you'll need to reference the mode file from
your html entry point. So,
<script src="packages/codemirror/mode/lua.js"></script>
copied to clipboard
will bring in support for Lua.
Similarly with addons, we've included a few common ones, and have made the
others available to import on a case-by-case basis. In order to use the
active-line addon, import:
<script src="packages/codemirror/addon/selection/active-line.js"></script>

Be aware that many addons need additional configuration in order to enable then.
This is generally done by passing values into the options of the CodeMirror
constructor.
Some addons are exposed through the main Dart interface. Some are exposed via
side-car Dart libraries available in the main
package, and some
have yet to be exposed. Pull requests welcome :)
Themes #
By importing the codemirror.css file:
<link href="packages/codemirror/codemirror.css" rel="stylesheet">
copied to clipboard
You get access to all the CodeMirror themes. If you only want a few, or don't
want to pay the network roundtrip cost to load all the themes, you can import
only the ones you're interested in:
<link href="packages/codemirror/theme/monokai.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="packages/codemirror/theme/zenburn.css" rel="stylesheet">
