What is @codemirror/lang-java?

@codemirror/lang-java is a language support package for the CodeMirror 6 code editor, specifically designed to provide syntax highlighting, code folding, and other language-specific features for Java programming.

What are @codemirror/lang-java's main functionalities?

Syntax Highlighting

This code sets up a CodeMirror editor instance with Java syntax highlighting. The `java` function from `@codemirror/lang-java` is used to enable Java language support.

import { java } from '@codemirror/lang-java';
import { EditorState } from '@codemirror/state';
import { EditorView, basicSetup } from '@codemirror/basic-setup';

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'public class HelloWorld {\n  public static void main(String[] args) {\n    System.out.println("Hello, World!");\n  }\n}',
  extensions: [basicSetup, java()]
});

const view = new EditorView({
  state,
  parent: document.body
});

Code Folding

This code demonstrates how to set up code folding in a CodeMirror editor with Java language support. The `foldGutter` extension is used alongside the `java` language support.

import { java } from '@codemirror/lang-java';
import { foldGutter } from '@codemirror/fold';
import { EditorState } from '@codemirror/state';
import { EditorView, basicSetup } from '@codemirror/basic-setup';

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'public class HelloWorld {\n  public static void main(String[] args) {\n    System.out.println("Hello, World!");\n  }\n}',
  extensions: [basicSetup, java(), foldGutter()]
});

const view = new EditorView({
  state,
  parent: document.body
});

Autocompletion

This code sets up autocompletion in a CodeMirror editor with Java language support. The `autocompletion` extension is used alongside the `java` language support.

import { java } from '@codemirror/lang-java';
import { autocompletion } from '@codemirror/autocomplete';
import { EditorState } from '@codemirror/state';
import { EditorView, basicSetup } from '@codemirror/basic-setup';

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'public class HelloWorld {\n  public static void main(String[] args) {\n    System.out.println("Hello, World!");\n  }\n}',
  extensions: [basicSetup, java(), autocompletion()]
});

const view = new EditorView({
  state,
  parent: document.body
});
