</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>CodeMirror is a code-editor component that can be embedded in
|
||
Web pages. The core library provides <em>only</em> the editor
|
||
component, no accompanying buttons, auto-completion, or other IDE
|
||
functionality. It does provide a rich API on top of which such
|
||
functionality can be straightforwardly implemented. See
|
||
the <a href="#addons">addons</a> included in the distribution,
|
||
and the <a href="https://github.com/marijnh/CodeMirror/wiki/CodeMirror-addons">list
|
||
of externally hosted addons</a>, for reusable
|
||
implementations of extra features.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>CodeMirror works with language-specific modes. Modes are
|
||
JavaScript programs that help color (and optionally indent) text
|
||
written in a given language. The distribution comes with a number
|
||
of modes (see the <a href="../mode/"><code>mode/</code></a>
|
||
directory), and it isn't hard to <a href="#modeapi">write new
|
||
ones</a> for other languages.</p>
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
<section id=usage>
|
||
<h2>Basic Usage</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The easiest way to use CodeMirror is to simply load the script
|
||
and style sheet found under <code>lib/</code> in the distribution,
|
||
plus a mode script from one of the <code>mode/</code> directories.
|
||
(See <a href="compress.html">the compression helper</a> for an
|
||
easy way to combine scripts.) For example:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre data-lang="text/html"><script src="lib/codemirror.js"></script>
|
||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../lib/codemirror.css">
|
||
<script src="mode/javascript/javascript.js"></script></pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>(Alternatively, use a module loader. <a href="#modloader">More
|
||
about that later.</a>)</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Having done this, an editor instance can be created like
|
||
this:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre data-lang="javascript">var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror(document.body);</pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>The editor will be appended to the document body, will start
|
||
empty, and will use the mode that we loaded. To have more control
|
||
over the new editor, a configuration object can be passed
|
||
to <a href="#CodeMirror"><code>CodeMirror</code></a> as a second
|
||
argument:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre data-lang="javascript">var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror(document.body, {
|
||
value: "function myScript(){return 100;}\n",
|
||
mode: "javascript"
|
||
});</pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>This will initialize the editor with a piece of code already in
|
||
it, and explicitly tell it to use the JavaScript mode (which is
|
||
useful when multiple modes are loaded).
|
||
See <a href="#config">below</a> for a full discussion of the
|
||
configuration options that CodeMirror accepts.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>In cases where you don't want to append the editor to an
|
||
element, and need more control over the way it is inserted, the
|
||
first argument to the <code>CodeMirror</code> function can also
|
||
be a function that, when given a DOM element, inserts it into the
|
||
document somewhere. This could be used to, for example, replace a
|
||
textarea with a real editor:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre data-lang="javascript">var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror(function(elt) {
|
||
myTextArea.parentNode.replaceChild(elt, myTextArea);
|
||
}, {value: myTextArea.value});</pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>However, for this use case, which is a common way to use
|
||
CodeMirror, the library provides a much more powerful
|
||
shortcut:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre data-lang="javascript">var myCodeMirror = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(myTextArea);</pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>This will, among other things, ensure that the textarea's value
|
||
is updated with the editor's contents when the form (if it is part
|
||
of a form) is submitted. See the <a href="#fromTextArea">API
|
||
reference</a> for a full description of this method.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id=modloader>Module loaders</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>The files in the CodeMirror distribution contain shims for
|
||
loading them (and their dependencies) in AMD or CommonJS
|
||
environments. If the variables <code>exports</code>
|
||
and <code>module</code> exist and have type object, CommonJS-style
|
||
require will be used. If not, but there is a
|
||
function <code>define</code> with an <code>amd</code> property
|
||
present, AMD-style (RequireJS) will be used.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>It is possible to
|
||
use <a href="http://browserify.org/">Browserify</a> or similar
|
||
tools to statically build modules using CodeMirror. Alternatively,
|
||
use <a href="http://requirejs.org/">RequireJS</a> to dynamically
|
||
load dependencies at runtime. Both of these approaches have the
|
||
advantage that they don't use the global namespace and can, thus,
|
||
do things like load multiple versions of CodeMirror alongside each
|
||
other.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Here's a simple example of using RequireJS to load CodeMirror:</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre data-lang="javascript">require([
|
||
"cm/lib/codemirror", "cm/mode/htmlmixed/htmlmixed"
|
||
], function(CodeMirror) {
|
||
CodeMirror.fromTextArea(document.getElementById("code"), {
|
||
lineNumbers: true,
|
||
mode: "htmlmixed"
|
||
});
|
||
});</pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>It will automatically load the modes that the mixed HTML mode
|
||
depends on (XML, JavaScript, and CSS).</p>
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
<section id=config>
|
||
<h2>Configuration</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Both the <a href="#CodeMirror"><code>CodeMirror</code></a>
|
||
function and its <code>fromTextArea</code> method take as second
|
||
(optional) argument an object containing configuration options.
|
||
Any option not supplied like this will be taken
|
||
from <a href="#defaults"><code>CodeMirror.defaults</code></a>, an
|
||
object containing the default options. You can update this object
|
||
to change the defaults on your page.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Options are not checked in any way, so setting bogus option
|
||
values is bound to lead to odd errors.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>These are the supported options:</p>
|
||
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt id="option_value"><code><strong>value</strong>: string|CodeMirror.Doc</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The starting value of the editor. Can be a string, or
|
||
a <a href="#api_doc">document object</a>.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_mode"><code><strong>mode</strong>: string|object</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The mode to use. When not given, this will default to the
|
||
first mode that was loaded. It may be a string, which either
|
||
simply names the mode or is
|
||
a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME">MIME</a> type
|
||
associated with the mode. Alternatively, it may be an object
|
||
containing configuration options for the mode, with
|
||
a <code>name</code> property that names the mode (for
|
||
example <code>{name: "javascript", json: true}</code>). The demo
|
||
pages for each mode contain information about what configuration
|
||
parameters the mode supports. You can ask CodeMirror which modes
|
||
and MIME types have been defined by inspecting
|
||
the <code>CodeMirror.modes</code>
|
||
and <code>CodeMirror.mimeModes</code> objects. The first maps
|
||
mode names to their constructors, and the second maps MIME types
|
||
to mode specs.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_theme"><code><strong>theme</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The theme to style the editor with. You must make sure the
|
||
CSS file defining the corresponding <code>.cm-s-[name]</code>
|
||
styles is loaded (see
|
||
the <a href="../theme/"><code>theme</code></a> directory in the
|
||
distribution). The default is <code>"default"</code>, for which
|
||
colors are included in <code>codemirror.css</code>. It is
|
||
possible to use multiple theming classes at once—for
|
||
example <code>"foo bar"</code> will assign both
|
||
the <code>cm-s-foo</code> and the <code>cm-s-bar</code> classes
|
||
to the editor.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_indentUnit"><code><strong>indentUnit</strong>: integer</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>How many spaces a block (whatever that means in the edited
|
||
language) should be indented. The default is 2.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_smartIndent"><code><strong>smartIndent</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whether to use the context-sensitive indentation that the
|
||
mode provides (or just indent the same as the line before).
|
||
Defaults to true.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_tabSize"><code><strong>tabSize</strong>: integer</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The width of a tab character. Defaults to 4.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_indentWithTabs"><code><strong>indentWithTabs</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whether, when indenting, the first N*<code>tabSize</code>
|
||
spaces should be replaced by N tabs. Default is false.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_electricChars"><code><strong>electricChars</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Configures whether the editor should re-indent the current
|
||
line when a character is typed that might change its proper
|
||
indentation (only works if the mode supports indentation).
|
||
Default is true.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_specialChars"><code><strong>specialChars</strong>: RegExp</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>A regular expression used to determine which characters
|
||
should be replaced by a
|
||
special <a href="#option_specialCharPlaceholder">placeholder</a>.
|
||
Mostly useful for non-printing special characters. The default
|
||
is <code>/[\u0000-\u0019\u00ad\u200b\u2028\u2029\ufeff]/</code>.</dd>
|
||
<dt id="option_specialCharPlaceholder"><code><strong>specialCharPlaceholder</strong>: function(char) → Element</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>A function that, given a special character identified by
|
||
the <a href="#option_specialChars"><code>specialChars</code></a>
|
||
option, produces a DOM node that is used to represent the
|
||
character. By default, a red dot (<span style="color: red">•</span>)
|
||
is shown, with a title tooltip to indicate the character code.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_rtlMoveVisually"><code><strong>rtlMoveVisually</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Determines whether horizontal cursor movement through
|
||
right-to-left (Arabic, Hebrew) text is visual (pressing the left
|
||
arrow moves the cursor left) or logical (pressing the left arrow
|
||
moves to the next lower index in the string, which is visually
|
||
right in right-to-left text). The default is <code>false</code>
|
||
on Windows, and <code>true</code> on other platforms.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_keyMap"><code><strong>keyMap</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Configures the key map to use. The default
|
||
is <code>"default"</code>, which is the only key map defined
|
||
in <code>codemirror.js</code> itself. Extra key maps are found in
|
||
the <a href="../keymap/"><code>key map</code></a> directory. See
|
||
the <a href="#keymaps">section on key maps</a> for more
|
||
information.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_extraKeys"><code><strong>extraKeys</strong>: object</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Can be used to specify extra key bindings for the editor,
|
||
alongside the ones defined
|
||
by <a href="#option_keyMap"><code>keyMap</code></a>. Should be
|
||
either null, or a valid <a href="#keymaps">key map</a> value.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_lineWrapping"><code><strong>lineWrapping</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whether CodeMirror should scroll or wrap for long lines.
|
||
Defaults to <code>false</code> (scroll).</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_lineNumbers"><code><strong>lineNumbers</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whether to show line numbers to the left of the editor.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_firstLineNumber"><code><strong>firstLineNumber</strong>: integer</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>At which number to start counting lines. Default is 1.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_lineNumberFormatter"><code><strong>lineNumberFormatter</strong>: function(line: integer) → string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>A function used to format line numbers. The function is
|
||
passed the line number, and should return a string that will be
|
||
shown in the gutter.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_gutters"><code><strong>gutters</strong>: array<string></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Can be used to add extra gutters (beyond or instead of the
|
||
line number gutter). Should be an array of CSS class names, each
|
||
of which defines a <code>width</code> (and optionally a
|
||
background), and which will be used to draw the background of
|
||
the gutters. <em>May</em> include
|
||
the <code>CodeMirror-linenumbers</code> class, in order to
|
||
explicitly set the position of the line number gutter (it will
|
||
default to be to the right of all other gutters). These class
|
||
names are the keys passed
|
||
to <a href="#setGutterMarker"><code>setGutterMarker</code></a>.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_fixedGutter"><code><strong>fixedGutter</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Determines whether the gutter scrolls along with the content
|
||
horizontally (false) or whether it stays fixed during horizontal
|
||
scrolling (true, the default).</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_coverGutterNextToScrollbar"><code><strong>coverGutterNextToScrollbar</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>When <a href="#option_fixedGutter"><code>fixedGutter</code></a>
|
||
is on, and there is a horizontal scrollbar, by default the
|
||
gutter will be visible to the left of this scrollbar. If this
|
||
option is set to true, it will be covered by an element with
|
||
class <code>CodeMirror-gutter-filler</code>.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_readOnly"><code><strong>readOnly</strong>: boolean|string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>This disables editing of the editor content by the user. If
|
||
the special value <code>"nocursor"</code> is given (instead of
|
||
simply <code>true</code>), focusing of the editor is also
|
||
disallowed.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_showCursorWhenSelecting"><code><strong>showCursorWhenSelecting</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whether the cursor should be drawn when a selection is
|
||
active. Defaults to false.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_undoDepth"><code><strong>undoDepth</strong>: integer</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The maximum number of undo levels that the editor stores.
|
||
Note that this includes selection change events. Defaults to
|
||
200.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_historyEventDelay"><code><strong>historyEventDelay</strong>: integer</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The period of inactivity (in milliseconds) that will cause a
|
||
new history event to be started when typing or deleting.
|
||
Defaults to 1250.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_tabindex"><code><strong>tabindex</strong>: integer</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-tabindex">tab
|
||
index</a> to assign to the editor. If not given, no tab index
|
||
will be assigned.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_autofocus"><code><strong>autofocus</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Can be used to make CodeMirror focus itself on
|
||
initialization. Defaults to off.
|
||
When <a href="#fromTextArea"><code>fromTextArea</code></a> is
|
||
used, and no explicit value is given for this option, it will be
|
||
set to true when either the source textarea is focused, or it
|
||
has an <code>autofocus</code> attribute and no other element is
|
||
focused.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
|
||
<p>Below this a few more specialized, low-level options are
|
||
listed. These are only useful in very specific situations, you
|
||
might want to skip them the first time you read this manual.</p>
|
||
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt id="option_dragDrop"><code><strong>dragDrop</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Controls whether drag-and-drop is enabled. On by default.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_cursorBlinkRate"><code><strong>cursorBlinkRate</strong>: number</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Half-period in milliseconds used for cursor blinking. The default blink
|
||
rate is 530ms. By setting this to zero, blinking can be disabled. A
|
||
negative value hides the cursor entirely.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_cursorScrollMargin"><code><strong>cursorScrollMargin</strong>: number</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>How much extra space to always keep above and below the
|
||
cursor when approaching the top or bottom of the visible view in
|
||
a scrollable document. Default is 0.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_cursorHeight"><code><strong>cursorHeight</strong>: number</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Determines the height of the cursor. Default is 1, meaning
|
||
it spans the whole height of the line. For some fonts (and by
|
||
some tastes) a smaller height (for example <code>0.85</code>),
|
||
which causes the cursor to not reach all the way to the bottom
|
||
of the line, looks better</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_resetSelectionOnContextMenu"><code><strong>resetSelectionOnContextMenu</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Controls whether, when the context menu is opened with a
|
||
click outside of the current selection, the cursor is moved to
|
||
the point of the click. Defaults to <code>true</code>.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_workTime"><code id="option_wordkDelay"><strong>workTime</strong>, <strong>workDelay</strong>: number</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Highlighting is done by a pseudo background-thread that will
|
||
work for <code>workTime</code> milliseconds, and then use
|
||
timeout to sleep for <code>workDelay</code> milliseconds. The
|
||
defaults are 200 and 300, you can change these options to make
|
||
the highlighting more or less aggressive.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_pollInterval"><code><strong>pollInterval</strong>: number</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Indicates how quickly CodeMirror should poll its input
|
||
textarea for changes (when focused). Most input is captured by
|
||
events, but some things, like IME input on some browsers, don't
|
||
generate events that allow CodeMirror to properly detect it.
|
||
Thus, it polls. Default is 100 milliseconds.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_flattenSpans"><code><strong>flattenSpans</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>By default, CodeMirror will combine adjacent tokens into a
|
||
single span if they have the same class. This will result in a
|
||
simpler DOM tree, and thus perform better. With some kinds of
|
||
styling (such as rounded corners), this will change the way the
|
||
document looks. You can set this option to false to disable this
|
||
behavior.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="option_addModeClass"><code><strong>addModeClass</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>When enabled (off by default), an extra CSS class will be

<h2>Events</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Various CodeMirror-related objects emit events, which allow
|
||
client code to react to various situations. Handlers for such
|
||
events can be registered with the <a href="#on"><code>on</code></a>
|
||
and <a href="#off"><code>off</code></a> methods on the objects
|
||
that the event fires on. To fire your own events,
|
||
use <code>CodeMirror.signal(target, name, args...)</code>,
|
||
where <code>target</code> is a non-DOM-node object.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>An editor instance fires the following events.
|
||
The <code>instance</code> argument always refers to the editor
|
||
itself.</p>
|
||
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt id="event_change"><code><strong>"change"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror, changeObj: object)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Fires every time the content of the editor is changed.
|
||
The <code>changeObj</code> is a <code>{from, to, text, removed,
|
||
origin}</code> object containing information about the changes
|
||
that occurred as second argument. <code>from</code>
|
||
and <code>to</code> are the positions (in the pre-change
|
||
coordinate system) where the change started and ended (for
|
||
example, it might be <code>{ch:0, line:18}</code> if the
|
||
position is at the beginning of line #19). <code>text</code> is
|
||
an array of strings representing the text that replaced the
|
||
changed range (split by line). <code>removed</code> is the text
|
||
that used to be between <code>from</code> and <code>to</code>,
|
||
which is overwritten by this change.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="event_changes"><code><strong>"changes"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror, changes: array<object<)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Like the <a href="#event_change"><code>"change"</code></a>
|
||
event, but batched per <a href="#operation">operation</a>,
|
||
passing an array containing all the changes that happened in the
|
||
operation.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="event_beforeChange"><code><strong>"beforeChange"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror, changeObj: object)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>This event is fired before a change is applied, and its
|
||
handler may choose to modify or cancel the change.
|
||
The <code>changeObj</code> object
|
||
has <code>from</code>, <code>to</code>, and <code>text</code>
|
||
properties, as with
|
||
the <a href="#event_change"><code>"change"</code></a> event. It
|
||
also has a <code>cancel()</code> method, which can be called to
|
||
cancel the change, and, <strong>if</strong> the change isn't
|
||
coming from an undo or redo event, an <code>update(from, to,
|
||
text)</code> method, which may be used to modify the change.
|
||
Undo or redo changes can't be modified, because they hold some
|
||
metainformation for restoring old marked ranges that is only
|
||
valid for that specific change. All three arguments
|
||
to <code>update</code> are optional, and can be left off to
|
||
leave the existing value for that field
|
||
intact. <strong>Note:</strong> you may not do anything from
|
||
a <code>"beforeChange"</code> handler that would cause changes
|
||
to the document or its visualization. Doing so will, since this
|
||
handler is called directly from the bowels of the CodeMirror
|
||
implementation, probably cause the editor to become
|
||
corrupted.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="event_cursorActivity"><code><strong>"cursorActivity"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Will be fired when the cursor or selection moves, or any

change is made to the editor content.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="event_keyHandled"><code><strong>"keyHandled"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror, name: string, event: Event)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Fired after a key is handled through a
|
||
key map. <code>name</code> is the name of the handled key (for
|
||
example <code>"Ctrl-X"</code> or <code>"'q'"</code>),
|
||
and <code>event</code> is the DOM <code>keydown</code>
|
||
or <code>keypress</code> event.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="event_inputRead"><code><strong>"inputRead"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror, changeObj: object)</code></dt>

<dt id="event_beforeSelectionChange"><code><strong>"beforeSelectionChange"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror, obj: {ranges, update})</code></dt>
|

<dd>This event is fired before the selection is moved. Its

handler may inspect the set of selection ranges, present as an
|
||
array of <code>{anchor, head}</code> objects in
|
||
the <code>ranges</code> property of the <code>obj</code>
|
||
argument, and optionally change them by calling
|
||
the <code>update</code> method on this object, passing an array
|
||
of ranges in the same format. Handlers for this event have the
|
||
same restriction
|
||
as <a href="#event_beforeChange"><code>"beforeChange"</code></a>
|
||
handlers — they should not do anything to directly update the
|
||
state of the editor.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="event_viewportChange"><code><strong>"viewportChange"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror, from: number, to: number)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Fires whenever the <a href="#getViewport">view port</a> of
|

the editor changes (due to scrolling, editing, or any other
|

(zero-based) number of the line that was clicked as second

fourth argument.</dd>

<dt id="event_gutterContextMenu"><code><strong>"gutterContextMenu"</strong> (instance: CodeMirror, line: integer, gutter: string, contextMenu: Event: Event)</code></dt>

instance as first argument, the (zero-based) number of the line
|
||
that was clicked as second argument, the CSS class of the
|
||
gutter that was clicked as third argument, and the raw

right after the DOM element is built, <em>before</em> it is

<h2>Key Maps</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Key maps are ways to associate keys with functionality. A key map
|
||
is an object mapping strings that identify the keys to functions
|
||
that implement their functionality.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The CodeMirror distributions comes
|
||
with <a href="../demo/emacs.html">Emacs</a>, <a href="../demo/vim.html">Vim</a>,
|
||
and <a href="../demo/sublime.html">Sublime Text</a>-style keymaps.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Keys are identified either by name or by character.
|
||
The <code>CodeMirror.keyNames</code> object defines names for
|
||
common keys and associates them with their key codes. Examples of
|
||
names defined here are <code>Enter</code>, <code>F5</code>,
|
||
and <code>Q</code>. These can be prefixed
|
||
with <code>Shift-</code>, <code>Cmd-</code>, <code>Ctrl-</code>,
|
||
and <code>Alt-</code> (in that order!) to specify a modifier. So
|
||
for example, <code>Shift-Ctrl-Space</code> would be a valid key
|
||
identifier.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Common example: map the Tab key to insert spaces instead of a tab
|
||
character.</p>
|
||
|
||
<pre data-lang="javascript">
|
||
{
|
||
Tab: function(cm) {
|
||
var spaces = Array(cm.getOption("indentUnit") + 1).join(" ");
|
||
cm.replaceSelection(spaces);
|
||
}
|
||
}</pre>
|
||
|
||
<p>Alternatively, a character can be specified directly by
|
||
surrounding it in single quotes, for example <code>'$'</code>
|
||
or <code>'q'</code>. Due to limitations in the way browsers fire
|
||
key events, these may not be prefixed with modifiers.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The <code>CodeMirror.keyMap</code> object associates key maps
|
||
with names. User code and key map definitions can assign extra
|
||
properties to this object. Anywhere where a key map is expected, a
|
||
string can be given, which will be looked up in this object. It
|
||
also contains the <code>"default"</code> key map holding the
|
||
default bindings.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The values of properties in key maps can be either functions of
|
||
a single argument (the CodeMirror instance), strings, or
|
||
<code>false</code>. Strings refer
|
||
to <a href="#commands">commands</a>, which are described below. If
|
||
the property is set to <code>false</code>, CodeMirror leaves
|
||
handling of the key up to the browser. A key handler function may
|
||
return <code>CodeMirror.Pass</code> to indicate that it has
|
||
decided not to handle the key, and other handlers (or the default
|
||
behavior) should be given a turn.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Keys mapped to command names that start with the
|
||
characters <code>"go"</code> (which should be used for
|
||
cursor-movement actions) will be fired even when an
|
||
extra <code>Shift</code> modifier is present (i.e. <code>"Up":
|
||
"goLineUp"</code> matches both up and shift-up). This is used to
|
||
easily implement shift-selection.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Key maps can defer to each other by defining
|
||
a <code>fallthrough</code> property. This indicates that when a
|
||
key is not found in the map itself, one or more other maps should
|
||
be searched. It can hold either a single key map or an array of
|
||
key maps.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>When a key map contains a <code>nofallthrough</code> property
|
||
set to <code>true</code>, keys matched against that map will be
|
||
ignored if they don't match any of the bindings in the map (no
|
||
further child maps will be tried). When
|
||
the <code>disableInput</code> property is set
|
||
to <code>true</code>, the default effect of inserting a character
|
||
will be suppressed when the key map is active as the top-level
|
||
map.</p>

<section id=commands>
|
||
<h2>Commands</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Commands are parameter-less actions that can be performed on an
|
||
editor. Their main use is for key bindings. Commands are defined by
|
||
adding properties to the <code>CodeMirror.commands</code> object.
|
||
A number of common commands are defined by the library itself,
|
||
most of them used by the default key bindings. The value of a
|
||
command property must be a function of one argument (an editor
|
||
instance).</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Some of the commands below are referenced in the default
|
||
key map, but not defined by the core library. These are intended to
|
||
be defined by user code or addons.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Commands can also be run with
|
||
the <a href="#execCommand"><code>execCommand</code></a>

<h2>Customized Styling</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Up to a certain extent, CodeMirror's look can be changed by
|
||
modifying style sheet files. The style sheets supplied by modes
|
||
simply provide the colors for that mode, and can be adapted in a
|
||
very straightforward way. To style the editor itself, it is
|
||
possible to alter or override the styles defined
|
||
in <a href="../lib/codemirror.css"><code>codemirror.css</code></a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Some care must be taken there, since a lot of the rules in this
|
||
file are necessary to have CodeMirror function properly. Adjusting
|
||
colors should be safe, of course, and with some care a lot of
|
||
other things can be changed as well. The CSS classes defined in
|
||
this file serve the following roles:</p>
|
||
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror"><code><strong>CodeMirror</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The outer element of the editor. This should be used for the
|
||
editor width, height, borders and positioning. Can also be used
|
||
to set styles that should hold for everything inside the editor
|
||
(such as font and font size), or to set a background.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_scroll"><code><strong>CodeMirror-scroll</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whether the editor scrolls (<code>overflow: auto</code> +
|
||
fixed height). By default, it does. Setting
|
||
the <code>CodeMirror</code> class to have <code>height:
|
||
auto</code> and giving this class <code>overflow-x: auto;
|
||
overflow-y: hidden;</code> will cause the editor
|
||
to <a href="../demo/resize.html">resize to fit its
|
||
content</a>.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_focused"><code><strong>CodeMirror-focused</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whenever the editor is focused, the top element gets this
|
||
class. This is used to hide the cursor and give the selection a
|
||
different color when the editor is not focused.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_gutters"><code><strong>CodeMirror-gutters</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>This is the backdrop for all gutters. Use it to set the
|
||
default gutter background color, and optionally add a border on
|
||
the right of the gutters.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_linenumbers"><code><strong>CodeMirror-linenumbers</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Use this for giving a background or width to the line number
|
||
gutter.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_linenumber"><code><strong>CodeMirror-linenumber</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Used to style the actual individual line numbers. These
|
||
won't be children of the <code>CodeMirror-linenumbers</code>
|
||
(plural) element, but rather will be absolutely positioned to
|
||
overlay it. Use this to set alignment and text properties for
|
||
the line numbers.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_lines"><code><strong>CodeMirror-lines</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The visible lines. This is where you specify vertical
|
||
padding for the editor content.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_cursor"><code><strong>CodeMirror-cursor</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The cursor is a block element that is absolutely positioned.
|
||
You can make it look whichever way you want.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_selected"><code><strong>CodeMirror-selected</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The selection is represented by <code>span</code> elements
|
||
with this class.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="class_CodeMirror_matchingbracket"><code><strong>CodeMirror-matchingbracket</strong></code>,
|
||
<code><strong>CodeMirror-nonmatchingbracket</strong></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>These are used to style matched (or unmatched) brackets.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
|
||
<p>If your page's style sheets do funky things to
|
||
all <code>div</code> or <code>pre</code> elements (you probably
|
||
shouldn't do that), you'll have to define rules to cancel these
|
||
effects out again for elements under the <code>CodeMirror</code>
|
||
class.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Themes are also simply CSS files, which define colors for
|
||
various syntactic elements. See the files in
|
||
the <a href="../theme/"><code>theme</code></a> directory.</p>
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
<section id=api>
|
||
<h2>Programming API</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>A lot of CodeMirror features are only available through its
|
||
API. Thus, you need to write code (or
|
||
use <a href="#addons">addons</a>) if you want to expose them to
|
||
your users.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Whenever points in the document are represented, the API uses
|
||
objects with <code>line</code> and <code>ch</code> properties.
|
||
Both are zero-based. CodeMirror makes sure to 'clip' any positions
|
||
passed by client code so that they fit inside the document, so you
|
||
shouldn't worry too much about sanitizing your coordinates. If you
|
||
give <code>ch</code> a value of <code>null</code>, or don't
|
||
specify it, it will be replaced with the length of the specified
|
||
line.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Methods prefixed with <code>doc.</code> can, unless otherwise
|
||
specified, be called both on <code>CodeMirror</code> (editor)
|
||
instances and <code>CodeMirror.Doc</code> instances. Methods
|
||
prefixed with <code>cm.</code> are <em>only</em> available
|
||
on <code>CodeMirror</code> instances.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id="api_constructor">Constructor</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p id="CodeMirror">Constructing an editor instance is done with
|
||
the <code><strong>CodeMirror</strong>(place: Element|fn(Element),
|
||
?option: object)</code> constructor. If the <code>place</code>
|
||
argument is a DOM element, the editor will be appended to it. If
|
||
it is a function, it will be called, and is expected to place the
|
||
editor into the document. <code>options</code> may be an element
|
||
mapping <a href="#config">option names</a> to values. The options
|
||
that it doesn't explicitly specify (or all options, if it is not
|
||
passed) will be taken
|
||
from <a href="#defaults"><code>CodeMirror.defaults</code></a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Note that the options object passed to the constructor will be
|
||
mutated when the instance's options
|
||
are <a href="#setOption">changed</a>, so you shouldn't share such
|
||
objects between instances.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>See <a href="#fromTextArea"><code>CodeMirror.fromTextArea</code></a>
|
||
for another way to construct an editor instance.</p>

argument can be given to indicate the line separator string to

use (defaults to <code>"\n"</code>).</dd>
|
||
<dt id="replaceRange"><code><strong>doc.replaceRange</strong>(replacement: string, from: {line, ch}, to: {line, ch}, ?origin: string)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Replace the part of the document between <code>from</code>
|
||
and <code>to</code> with the given string. <code>from</code>
|
||
and <code>to</code> must be <code>{line, ch}</code>
|

objects. <code>to</code> can be left off to simply insert the
|
||
string at position <code>from</code>. When <code>origin</code>
|
||
is given, it will be passed on
|
||
to <a href="#event_change"><code>"change"</code> events</a>, and

its first letter will be used to determine whether this change

can be merged with previous history events, in the way described

for <a href="#selection_origin">selection origins</a>.</dd>

<dt id="getLine"><code><strong>doc.getLine</strong>(n: integer) → string</code></dt>

<dt id="lineCount"><code><strong>doc.lineCount</strong>() → integer</code></dt>

<dd>Get the number of lines in the editor.</dd>

<dt id="firstLine"><code><strong>doc.firstLine</strong>() → integer</code></dt>

first line, it might return other values.</dd>

<dt id="lastLine"><code><strong>doc.lastLine</strong>() → integer</code></dt>

it might return other values.</dd>

<dt id="getLineNumber"><code><strong>doc.getLineNumber</strong>(handle: LineHandle) → integer</code></dt>
|

<dd>Given a line handle, returns the current position of that

from <code>start</code> up to (not including) <code>end</code>,

and call <code>f</code> for each line, passing the line handle.
|
||
This is a faster way to visit a range of line handlers than
|
||
calling <a href="#getLineHandle"><code>getLineHandle</code></a>
|

for each of them. Note that line handles have

a <code>text</code> property containing the line's content (as a

string).</dd>

<dt id="markClean"><code><strong>doc.markClean</strong>()</code></dt>

retain until it is edited, and which will be set again when such

an edit is undone again. Useful to track whether the content
|

needs to be saved. This function is deprecated in favor

of <a href="#changeGeneration"><code>changeGeneration</code></a>,

<dt id="changeGeneration"><code><strong>doc.changeGeneration</strong>(?closeEvent: boolean) → integer</code></dt>

any edits were made (and not undone) in the meantime.

If <code>closeEvent</code> is true, the current history event

combined).</dd>

<dt id="isClean"><code><strong>doc.isClean</strong>(?generation: integer) → boolean</code></dt>

optional <code>select</code> argument can be used to change

this—passing <code>"around"</code> will cause the new text to be

selected, passing <code>"start"</code> will collapse the

the helper namespace (see

values (it may be either a single string, or an array of

strings). Failing that, the mode's <code>helperType</code>

property and finally the mode's name are used.</dd>

<h2>Addons</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>The <code>addon</code> directory in the distribution contains a
|
||
number of reusable components that implement extra editor
|
||
functionality (on top of extension functions
|
||
like <a href="#defineOption"><code>defineOption</code></a>, <a href="#defineExtension"><code>defineExtension</code></a>,
|
||
and <a href="#registerHelper"><code>registerHelper</code></a>). In
|
||
brief, they are:</p>
|
||
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt id="addon_dialog"><a href="../addon/dialog/dialog.js"><code>dialog/dialog.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Provides a very simple way to query users for text input.
|
||
Adds the <strong><code>openDialog(template, callback, options) →
|
||
closeFunction</code></strong> method to CodeMirror instances,
|
||
which can be called with an HTML fragment or a detached DOM
|
||
node that provides the prompt (should include an <code>input</code>
|
||
or <code>button</code> tag), and a callback function that is called
|
||
when the user presses enter. It returns a function <code>closeFunction</code>
|
||
which, if called, will close the dialog immediately.
|
||
<strong><code>openDialog</code></strong> takes the following options:
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>closeOnEnter</strong></code>:</dt>
|
||
<dd>If true, the dialog will be closed when the user presses
|
||
enter in the input. Defaults to <code>true</code>.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>onKeyDown</strong></code>:</dt>
|
||
<dd>An event handler of the signature <code>(event, value, closeFunction)</code>
|
||
that will be called whenever <code>keydown</code> fires in the
|
||
dialog's input. If your callback returns <code>true</code>,
|
||
the dialog will not do any further processing of the event.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>onKeyUp</strong></code>:</dt>
|
||
<dd>Same as <code>onKeyDown</code> but for the
|
||
<code>keyup</code> event.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>onInput</strong></code>:</dt>
|
||
<dd>Same as <code>onKeyDown</code> but for the
|
||
<code>input</code> event.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>onClose</strong></code>:</dt>
|
||
<dd>A callback of the signature <code>(dialogInstance)</code>
|
||
that will be called after the dialog has been closed and
|
||
removed from the DOM. No return value.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
|
||
<p>Also adds an <strong><code>openNotification(template, options) →
|
||
closeFunction</code></strong> function that simply shows an HTML
|
||
fragment as a notification at the top of the editor. It takes a
|
||
single option: <code>duration</code>, the amount of time after
|
||
which the notification will be automatically closed. If <code>
|
||
duration</code> is zero, the dialog will not be closed automatically.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Depends on <code>addon/dialog/dialog.css</code>.</p></dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="addon_searchcursor"><a href="../addon/search/searchcursor.js"><code>search/searchcursor.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Adds the <code>getSearchCursor(query, start, caseFold) →
|
||
cursor</code> method to CodeMirror instances, which can be used
|
||
to implement search/replace functionality. <code>query</code>
|
||
can be a regular expression or a string (only strings will match
|
||
across lines—if they contain newlines). <code>start</code>
|
||
provides the starting position of the search. It can be
|
||
a <code>{line, ch}</code> object, or can be left off to default
|
||
to the start of the document. <code>caseFold</code> is only
|
||
relevant when matching a string. It will cause the search to be
|
||
case-insensitive. A search cursor has the following methods:
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>findNext</strong>() → boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>findPrevious</strong>() → boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Search forward or backward from the current position.
|
||
The return value indicates whether a match was found. If
|
||
matching a regular expression, the return value will be the
|
||
array returned by the <code>match</code> method, in case you
|
||
want to extract matched groups.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>from</strong>() → {line, ch}</code></dt>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>to</strong>() → {line, ch}</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>These are only valid when the last call
|
||
to <code>findNext</code> or <code>findPrevious</code> did
|
||
not return false. They will return <code>{line, ch}</code>
|
||
objects pointing at the start and end of the match.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>replace</strong>(text: string)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Replaces the currently found match with the given text
|
||
and adjusts the cursor position to reflect the
|
||
replacement.</dd>
|
||
</dl></dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="addon_search"><a href="../addon/search/search.js"><code>search/search.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Implements the search commands. CodeMirror has keys bound to
|
||
these by default, but will not do anything with them unless an
|
||
implementation is provided. Depends
|
||
on <code>searchcursor.js</code>, and will make use
|
||
of <a href="#addon_dialog"><code>openDialog</code></a> when
|
||
available to make prompting for search queries less ugly.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="addon_matchbrackets"><a href="../addon/edit/matchbrackets.js"><code>edit/matchbrackets.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Defines an option <code>matchBrackets</code> which, when set
|
||
to true, causes matching brackets to be highlighted whenever the
|
||
cursor is next to them. It also adds a
|
||
method <code>matchBrackets</code> that forces this to happen
|
||
once, and a method <code>findMatchingBracket</code> that can be
|
||
used to run the bracket-finding algorithm that this uses
|
||
internally.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="addon_closebrackets"><a href="../addon/edit/closebrackets.js"><code>edit/closebrackets.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Defines an option <code>autoCloseBrackets</code> that will
|
||
auto-close brackets and quotes when typed. By default, it'll
|
||
auto-close <code>()[]{}''""</code>, but you can pass it a string
|
||
similar to that (containing pairs of matching characters), or an
|
||
object with <code>pairs</code> and
|
||
optionally <code>explode</code> properties to customize
|
||
it. <code>explode</code> should be a similar string that gives
|
||
the pairs of characters that, when enter is pressed between
|
||
them, should have the second character also moved to its own
|
||
line. <a href="../demo/closebrackets.html">Demo here</a>.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="addon_matchtags"><a href="../addon/edit/matchtags.js"><code>edit/matchtags.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Defines an option <code>matchTags</code> that, when enabled,
|
||
will cause the tags around the cursor to be highlighted (using
|
||
the <code>CodeMirror-matchingtag</code> class). Also
|
||
defines
|
||
a <a href="#commands">command</a> <code>toMatchingTag</code>,
|
||
which you can bind a key to in order to jump to the tag mathing
|
||
the one under the cursor. Depends on

addon. <a href="../demo/matchtags.html">Demo here.</a></dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="addon_trailingspace"><a href="../addon/edit/trailingspace.js"><code>edit/trailingspace.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Adds an option <code>showTrailingSpace</code> which, when
|
||
enabled, adds the CSS class <code>cm-trailingspace</code> to
|
||
stretches of whitespace at the end of lines.
|
||
The <a href="../demo/trailingspace.html">demo</a> has a nice
|
||
squiggly underline style for this class.</dd>

<dt id="addon_continuelist"><a href="../addon/edit/continuelist.js"><code>edit/continuelist.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Markdown specific. Defines
|

a <code>"newlineAndIndentContinueMarkdownList"</code> <a href="#commands">command</a>
|
||
command that can be bound to <code>enter</code> to automatically
|

demo</a>.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="addon_comment"><a href="../addon/comment/comment.js"><code>comment/comment.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Addon for commenting and uncommenting code. Adds three
|
||
methods to CodeMirror instances:
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt id="lineComment"><code><strong>lineComment</strong>(from: {line, ch}, to: {line, ch}, ?options: object)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Set the lines in the given range to be line comments. Will
|
||
fall back to <code>blockComment</code> when no line comment
|
||
style is defined for the mode.</dd>
|
||
<dt id="blockComment"><code><strong>blockComment</strong>(from: {line, ch}, to: {line, ch}, ?options: object)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Wrap the code in the given range in a block comment. Will
|
||
fall back to <code>lineComment</code> when no block comment
|
||
style is defined for the mode.</dd>
|
||
<dt id="uncomment"><code><strong>uncomment</strong>(from: {line, ch}, to: {line, ch}, ?options: object) → boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Try to uncomment the given range.
|
||
Returns <code>true</code> if a comment range was found and
|
||
removed, <code>false</code> otherwise.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
The <code>options</code> object accepted by these methods may
|
||
have the following properties:
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt><code>blockCommentStart, blockCommentEnd, blockCommentLead, lineComment: string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Override the <a href="#mode_comment">comment string
|
||
properties</a> of the mode with custom comment strings.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>padding</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>A string that will be inserted after opening and leading
|
||
markers, and before closing comment markers. Defaults to a
|
||
single space.</dd>
|

<dt><code><strong>commentBlankLines</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whether, when adding line comments, to also comment lines
|
||
that contain only whitespace.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>indent</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>When adding line comments and this is turned on, it will
|
||
align the comment block to the current indentation of the
|
||
first line of the block.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>fullLines</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>When block commenting, this controls whether the whole
|
||
lines are indented, or only the precise range that is given.
|
||
Defaults to <code>true</code>.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
The addon also defines
|
||
a <code>toggleComment</code> <a href="#commands">command</a>,
|
||
which will try to uncomment the current selection, and if that
|
||
fails, line-comments it.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt id="addon_foldcode"><a href="../addon/fold/foldcode.js"><code>fold/foldcode.js</code></a></dt>
|
||
<dd>Helps with code folding. Adds a <code>foldCode</code> method
|
||
to editor instances, which will try to do a code fold starting
|
||
at the given line, or unfold the fold that is already present.
|
||
The method takes as first argument the position that should be
|
||
folded (may be a line number or
|
||
a <a href="#Pos"><code>Pos</code></a>), and as second optional
|
||
argument either a range-finder function, or an options object,
|
||
supporting the following properties:
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>rangeFinder</strong>: fn(CodeMirror, Pos)</code></dt>
|

giving it the class <code>CodeMirror-foldgutter</code> or
|
||
something else if you configure the addon to use a different
|
||
class, and this addon will show markers next to folded and
|
||
foldable blocks, and handle clicks in this gutter. Note that
|
||
CSS styles should be applied to make the gutter, and the fold
|

syntax-color their content using the relevant CodeMirror mode
|

mode passed as first argument, but will switch to another mode
|

as soon as it encounters a string that occurs in one of
|
||
the <code>open</code> fields of the passed objects. When in a
|

sub-mode, it will go back to the top mode again when
|

the <code>close</code> string is encountered.
|
||
Pass <code>"\n"</code> for <code>open</code> or <code>close</code>
|
||
if you want to switch on a blank line.
|
||
<ul><li>When <code>delimStyle</code> is specified, it will be the token
|

style returned for the delimiter tokens.</li>
|

select a completion. Finding hints is done with a hinting
|
||
functions (the <code>hint</code> option), which is a function
|
||
that take an editor instance and options object, and return
|
||
a <code>{list, from, to}</code> object, where <code>list</code>
|
||
is an array of strings or objects (the completions),
|
||
and <code>from</code> and <code>to</code> give the start and end
|
||
of the token that is being completed as <code>{line, ch}</code>
|
||
objects.</dd>
|
||
<dd>If no hinting function is given, the addon will
|
||
use <code>CodeMirror.hint.auto</code>, which
|
||
calls <a href="#getHelpers"><code>getHelpers</code></a> with
|
||
the <code>"hint"</code> type to find applicable hinting
|
||
functions, and tries them one by one. If that fails, it looks
|
||
for a <code>"hintWords"</code> helper to fetch a list of
|
||
completable words for the mode, and
|
||
uses <code>CodeMirror.hint.fromList</code> to complete from
|
||
those.</dd>
|
||
<dd>When completions aren't simple strings, they should be
|
||
objects with the following properties:
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>text</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The completion text. This is the only required
|
||
property.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>displayText</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>The text that should be displayed in the menu.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>className</strong>: string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>A CSS class name to apply to the completion's line in the
|
||
menu.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>render</strong>: fn(Element, self, data)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>A method used to create the DOM structure for showing the
|
||
completion by appending it to its first argument.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>hint</strong>: fn(CodeMirror, self, data)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>A method used to actually apply the completion, instead of
|
||
the default behavior.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>from</strong>: {line, ch}</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Optional <code>from</code> position that will be used by <code>pick()</code> instead
|
||
of the global one passed with the full list of completions.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>to</strong>: {line, ch}</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Optional <code>to</code> position that will be used by <code>pick()</code> instead
|
||
of the global one passed with the full list of completions.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
The plugin understands the following options (the options object
|
||
will also be passed along to the hinting function, which may
|
||
understand additional options):
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>hint</strong>: function</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>A hinting function, as specified above. It is possible to
|
||
set the <code>async</code> property on a hinting function to
|
||
true, in which case it will be called with
|
||
arguments <code>(cm, callback, ?options)</code>, and the
|
||
completion interface will only be popped up when the hinting
|
||
function calls the callback, passing it the object holding the
|
||
completions.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>completeSingle</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Determines whether, when only a single completion is
|
||
available, it is completed without showing the dialog.
|
||
Defaults to true.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>alignWithWord</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Whether the pop-up should be horizontally aligned with the
|
||
start of the word (true, default), or with the cursor (false).</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>closeOnUnfocus</strong>: boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>When enabled (which is the default), the pop-up will close
|
||
when the editor is unfocused.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>customKeys</strong>: keymap</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Allows you to provide a custom key map of keys to be active
|
||
when the pop-up is active. The handlers will be called with an
|
||
extra argument, a handle to the completion menu, which
|
||
has <code>moveFocus(n)</code>, <code>setFocus(n)</code>, <code>pick()</code>,
|
||
and <code>close()</code> methods (see the source for details),
|
||
that can be used to change the focused element, pick the
|
||
current element or close the menu. Additionnaly <code>menuSize()</code>
|
||
can give you access to the size of the current dropdown menu,
|
||
<code>length</code> give you the number of availlable completions, and
|
||
<code>data</code> give you full access to the completion returned by the
|
||
hinting function.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>extraKeys</strong>: keymap</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Like <code>customKeys</code> above, but the bindings will
|
||
be added to the set of default bindings, instead of replacing
|
||
them.</dd>
|
||
</dl>
|
||
The following events will be fired on the completions object
|
||
during completion:
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>"shown"</strong> ()</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Fired when the pop-up is shown.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>"select"</strong> (completion, Element)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Fired when a completion is selected. Passed the completion
|
||
value (string or object) and the DOM node that represents it
|
||
in the menu.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>"pick"</strong> (completion)</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Fired when a completion is picked. Passed the completion value
|
||
(string or object).</dd>
|

<dt><code><strong>"close"</strong> ()</code></dt>

<h2>Writing CodeMirror Modes</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Modes typically consist of a single JavaScript file. This file
|
||
defines, in the simplest case, a lexer (tokenizer) for your
|
||
language—a function that takes a character stream as input,
|
||
advances it past a token, and returns a style for that token. More
|
||
advanced modes can also handle indentation for the language.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="defineMode">The mode script should
|
||
call <code><strong>CodeMirror.defineMode</strong></code> to
|
||
register itself with CodeMirror. This function takes two
|
||
arguments. The first should be the name of the mode, for which you
|
||
should use a lowercase string, preferably one that is also the
|
||
name of the files that define the mode (i.e. <code>"xml"</code> is
|
||
defined in <code>xml.js</code>). The second argument should be a
|
||
function that, given a CodeMirror configuration object (the thing
|
||
passed to the <code>CodeMirror</code> function) and an optional
|
||
mode configuration object (as in
|
||
the <a href="#option_mode"><code>mode</code></a> option), returns
|
||
a mode object.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Typically, you should use this second argument
|
||
to <code>defineMode</code> as your module scope function (modes
|
||
should not leak anything into the global scope!), i.e. write your
|
||
whole mode inside this function.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The main responsibility of a mode script is <em>parsing</em>
|
||
the content of the editor. Depending on the language and the
|
||
amount of functionality desired, this can be done in really easy
|
||
or extremely complicated ways. Some parsers can be stateless,
|
||
meaning that they look at one element (<em>token</em>) of the code
|
||
at a time, with no memory of what came before. Most, however, will
|
||
need to remember something. This is done by using a <em>state
|
||
object</em>, which is an object that is always passed when
|
||
reading a token, and which can be mutated by the tokenizer.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="startState">Modes that use a state must define
|
||
a <code><strong>startState</strong></code> method on their mode
|
||
object. This is a function of no arguments that produces a state
|
||
object to be used at the start of a document.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="token">The most important part of a mode object is
|
||
its <code><strong>token</strong>(stream, state)</code> method. All
|
||
modes must define this method. It should read one token from the
|
||
stream it is given as an argument, optionally update its state,
|
||
and return a style string, or <code>null</code> for tokens that do
|
||
not have to be styled. For your styles, you are encouraged to use
|
||
the 'standard' names defined in the themes (without
|
||
the <code>cm-</code> prefix). If that fails, it is also possible
|
||
to come up with your own and write your own CSS theme file.<p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="token_style_line">A typical token string would
|
||
be <code>"variable"</code> or <code>"comment"</code>. Multiple
|
||
styles can be returned (separated by spaces), for
|
||
example <code>"string error"</code> for a thing that looks like a
|
||
string but is invalid somehow (say, missing its closing quote).
|
||
When a style is prefixed by <code>"line-"</code>
|
||
or <code>"line-background-"</code>, the style will be applied to
|
||
the whole line, analogous to what
|
||
the <a href="#addLineClass"><code>addLineClass</code></a> method
|
||
does—styling the <code>"text"</code> in the simple case, and
|
||
the <code>"background"</code> element
|
||
when <code>"line-background-"</code> is prefixed.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="StringStream">The stream object that's passed
|
||
to <code>token</code> encapsulates a line of code (tokens may
|
||
never span lines) and our current position in that line. It has
|
||
the following API:</p>
|
||
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>eol</strong>() → boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Returns true only if the stream is at the end of the
|
||
line.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>sol</strong>() → boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Returns true only if the stream is at the start of the
|
||
line.</dd>
|
||
|
||
<dt><code><strong>peek</strong>() → string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Returns the next character in the stream without advancing
|
||
it. Will return an <code>null</code> at the end of the
|
||
line.</dd>
|
||
<dt><code><strong>next</strong>() → string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Returns the next character in the stream and advances it.
|
||
Also returns <code>null</code> when no more characters are
|
||
available.</dd>

|

<dt><code><strong>eat</strong>(match: string|regexp|function(char: string) → boolean) → string</code></dt>
|
||
<dd><code>match</code> can be a character, a regular expression,
|
||
or a function that takes a character and returns a boolean. If
|
||
the next character in the stream 'matches' the given argument,
|
||
it is consumed and returned. Otherwise, <code>undefined</code>
|

is returned.</dd>
|

<dt><code><strong>eatWhile</strong>(match: string|regexp|function(char: string) → boolean) → boolean</code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Repeatedly calls <code>eat</code> with the given argument,

until it fails. Returns true if any characters were eaten.</dd>
|

<dt><code><strong>eatSpace</strong>() → boolean</code></dt>
|

<dd>Shortcut for <code>eatWhile</code> when matching

white-space.</dd>

<dt><code><strong>skipTo</strong>(ch: string) → boolean</code></dt>
|

<dd>Skips to the next occurrence of the given character, if

found on the current line (doesn't advance the stream if the

character does not occur on the line). Returns true if the

character was found.</dd>
|

<dt><code><strong>match</strong>(pattern: string, ?consume: boolean, ?caseFold: boolean) → boolean</code></dt>
|

<dt><code><strong>match</strong>(pattern: regexp, ?consume: boolean) → array<string></code></dt>
|
||
<dd>Act like a
|
||
multi-character <code>eat</code>—if <code>consume</code> is true
|
||
or not given—or a look-ahead that doesn't update the stream
|
||
position—if it is false. <code>pattern</code> can be either a
|
||
string or a regular expression starting with <code>^</code>.
|
||
When it is a string, <code>caseFold</code> can be set to true to
|
||
make the match case-insensitive. When successfully matching a

regular expression, the returned value will be the array

returned by <code>match</code>, in case you need to extract

matched groups.</dd>

<dt><code><strong>backUp</strong>(n: integer)</code></dt>

<dd>Backs up the stream <code>n</code> characters. Backing it up

<p id="blankLine">By default, blank lines are simply skipped when
|
||
tokenizing a document. For languages that have significant blank
|
||
lines, you can define
|
||
a <code><strong>blankLine</strong>(state)</code> method on your
|
||
mode that will get called whenever a blank line is passed over, so
|
||
that it can update the parser state.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="copyState">Because state object are mutated, and CodeMirror
|
||
needs to keep valid versions of a state around so that it can
|
||
restart a parse at any line, copies must be made of state objects.
|
||
The default algorithm used is that a new state object is created,
|
||
which gets all the properties of the old object. Any properties
|
||
which hold arrays get a copy of these arrays (since arrays tend to
|
||
be used as mutable stacks). When this is not correct, for example
|
||
because a mode mutates non-array properties of its state object, a
|
||
mode object should define
|
||
a <code><strong>copyState</strong></code> method, which is given a
|
||
state and should return a safe copy of that state.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="indent">If you want your mode to provide smart indentation
|
||
(through the <a href="#indentLine"><code>indentLine</code></a>
|
||
method and the <code>indentAuto</code>
|
||
and <code>newlineAndIndent</code> commands, to which keys can be
|
||
<a href="#option_extraKeys">bound</a>), you must define
|
||
an <code><strong>indent</strong>(state, textAfter)</code> method
|
||
on your mode object.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>The indentation method should inspect the given state object,
|
||
and optionally the <code>textAfter</code> string, which contains
|
||
the text on the line that is being indented, and return an
|
||
integer, the amount of spaces to indent. It should usually take
|
||
the <a href="#option_indentUnit"><code>indentUnit</code></a>
|
||
option into account. An indentation method may
|
||
return <code>CodeMirror.Pass</code> to indicate that it
|
||
could not come up with a precise indentation.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="mode_comment">To work well with
|
||
the <a href="#addon_comment">commenting addon</a>, a mode may
|
||
define <code><strong>lineComment</strong></code> (string that
|
||
starts a line
|
||
comment), <code><strong>blockCommentStart</strong></code>, <code><strong>blockCommentEnd</strong></code>
|
||
(strings that start and end block comments),
|
||
and <code>blockCommentLead</code> (a string to put at the start of
|
||
continued lines in a block comment). All of these are
|
||
optional.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="electricChars">Finally, a mode may define either
|
||
an <code>electricChars</code> or an <code>electricInput</code>
|
||
property, which are used to automatically reindent the line when
|
||
certain patterns are typed and
|
||
the <a href="#option_electricChars"><code>electricChars</code></a>
|
||
option is enabled. <code>electricChars</code> may be a string, and
|
||
will trigger a reindent whenever one of the characters in that
|
||
string are typed. Often, it is more appropriate to
|
||
use <code>electricInput</code>, which should hold a regular
|
||
expression, and will trigger indentation when the part of the
|
||
line <em>before</em> the cursor matches the expression. It should
|
||
usually end with a <code>$</code> character, so that it only
|
||
matches when the indentation-changing pattern was just typed, not when something was
|
||
typed after the pattern.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>So, to summarize, a mode <em>must</em> provide
|
||
a <code>token</code> method, and it <em>may</em>
|
||
provide <code>startState</code>, <code>copyState</code>,
|
||
and <code>indent</code> methods. For an example of a trivial mode,
|
||
see the <a href="../mode/diff/diff.js">diff mode</a>, for a more
|
||
involved example, see the <a href="../mode/clike/clike.js">C-like
|
||
mode</a>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Sometimes, it is useful for modes to <em>nest</em>—to have one
|
||
mode delegate work to another mode. An example of this kind of
|
||
mode is the <a href="../mode/htmlmixed/htmlmixed.js">mixed-mode HTML
|
||
mode</a>. To implement such nesting, it is usually necessary to
|
||
create mode objects and copy states yourself. To create a mode
|
||
object, there are <code>CodeMirror.getMode(options,
|
||
parserConfig)</code>, where the first argument is a configuration
|
||
object as passed to the mode constructor function, and the second
|
||
argument is a mode specification as in
|
||
the <a href="#option_mode"><code>mode</code></a> option. To copy a
|
||
state object, call <code>CodeMirror.copyState(mode, state)</code>,
|
||
where <code>mode</code> is the mode that created the given
|
||
state.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="innerMode">In a nested mode, it is recommended to add an
|
||
extra method, <code><strong>innerMode</strong></code> which, given
|
||
a state object, returns a <code>{state, mode}</code> object with
|
||
the inner mode and its state for the current position. These are
|
||
used by utility scripts such as the <a href="#addon_closetag">tag
|
||
closer</a> to get context information. Use
|
||
the <code>CodeMirror.innerMode</code> helper function to, starting
|
||
from a mode and a state, recursively walk down to the innermost
|
||
mode and state.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>To make indentation work properly in a nested parser, it is
|
||
advisable to give the <code>startState</code> method of modes that
|
||
are intended to be nested an optional argument that provides the
|
||
base indentation for the block of code. The JavaScript and CSS
|
||
parser do this, for example, to allow JavaScript and CSS code
|
||
inside the mixed-mode HTML mode to be properly indented.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="defineMIME">It is possible, and encouraged, to associate
|
||
your mode, or a certain configuration of your mode, with
|
||
a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME">MIME</a> type. For
|
||
example, the JavaScript mode associates itself
|
||
with <code>text/javascript</code>, and its JSON variant
|
||
with <code>application/json</code>. To do this,
|
||
call <code><strong>CodeMirror.defineMIME</strong>(mime,
|
||
modeSpec)</code>, where <code>modeSpec</code> can be a string or
|
||
object specifying a mode, as in
|
||
the <a href="#option_mode"><code>mode</code></a> option.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If a mode specification wants to add some properties to the
|
||
resulting mode object, typically for use
|
||
with <a href="#getHelpers"><code>getHelpers</code></a>, it may
|
||
contain a <code>modeProps</code> property, which holds an object.
|
||
This object's properties will be copied to the actual mode
|
||
object.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="extendMode">Sometimes, it is useful to add or override mode
|
||
object properties from external code.
|
||
The <code><strong>CodeMirror.extendMode</strong></code> function
|
||
can be used to add properties to mode objects produced for a
|
||
specific mode. Its first argument is the name of the mode, its
|
||
second an object that specifies the properties that should be
|
||
added. This is mostly useful to add utilities that can later be
|
||
looked up through <a href="#getMode"><code>getMode</code></a>.</p>
