@codemirror/lang-java
Advanced tools
@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.
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
});
@codemirror/lang-javascript provides similar functionalities for JavaScript, including syntax highlighting, code folding, and autocompletion. It is tailored for JavaScript and TypeScript, making it ideal for web development projects.
Monaco Editor is the code editor that powers Visual Studio Code. It supports a wide range of languages, including Java, and offers features like syntax highlighting, code folding, and autocompletion. It is more heavyweight compared to CodeMirror but provides a rich set of features.
Ace is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. It supports syntax highlighting, code folding, and autocompletion for multiple languages, including Java. Ace is known for its performance and ease of integration into web applications.
