@codemirror/lang-sql

What is @codemirror/lang-sql?

@codemirror/lang-sql is a language support package for CodeMirror 6 that provides syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and other SQL language features. It is designed to help developers integrate SQL editing capabilities into their web applications.

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

Syntax Highlighting

This feature provides syntax highlighting for SQL code. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a CodeMirror editor with SQL syntax highlighting.

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

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'SELECT * FROM users;',
  extensions: [basicSetup, sql()]
});

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

Autocompletion

This feature provides autocompletion for SQL code. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a CodeMirror editor with SQL autocompletion.

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

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'SELECT * FROM ',
  extensions: [basicSetup, sql(), autocompletion({ override: [sqlCompletion] })]
});

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

Error Checking

This feature provides error checking for SQL code. The code sample demonstrates how to set up a CodeMirror editor with SQL error checking.

import { sql, sqlDiagnostics } from '@codemirror/lang-sql';
import { EditorState } from '@codemirror/state';
import { EditorView, basicSetup } from '@codemirror/basic-setup';
import { linter } from '@codemirror/lint';

const state = EditorState.create({
  doc: 'SELECT * FORM users;',
  extensions: [basicSetup, sql(), linter(sqlDiagnostics)]
});

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

API Reference

sql(config⁠?: SQLConfig = {}) → LanguageSupport

SQL language support for the given SQL dialect, with keyword completion, and, if provided, schema-based completion as extra extensions.

interface SQLConfig

Options used to configure an SQL extension.

dialect⁠?: SQLDialect

The dialect to use. Defaults to StandardSQL.

schema⁠?: SQLNamespace

You can use this to define the schemas, tables, and their fields for autocompletion.

defaultTable⁠?: string

When given, columns from the named table can be completed directly at the top level.

defaultSchema⁠?: string

When given, tables prefixed with this schema name can be completed directly at the top level.

upperCaseKeywords⁠?: boolean

When set to true, keyword completions will be upper-case.

type SQLNamespace = Object<SQLNamespace> | {self: Completion, children: SQLNamespace} | readonly (string | Completion)[]

The type used to describe a level of the schema for completion. Can be an array of options (columns), an object mapping table or schema names to deeper levels, or a {self, children} object that assigns a completion option to use for its parent property, when the default option (its name as label and type "type") isn't suitable.

class SQLDialect

Represents an SQL dialect.

language: LRLanguage

The language for this dialect.

spec: SQLDialectSpec

The spec used to define this dialect.

extension: Extension

Returns the language for this dialect as an extension.

static define(spec: SQLDialectSpec) → SQLDialect

Define a new dialect.

type SQLDialectSpec

Configuration for an SQL Dialect.

keywords⁠?: string

A space-separated list of keywords for the dialect.

builtin⁠?: string

A space-separated string of built-in identifiers for the dialect.

types⁠?: string

A space-separated string of type names for the dialect.

backslashEscapes⁠?: boolean

Controls whether regular strings allow backslash escapes.

hashComments⁠?: boolean

Controls whether # creates a line comment.

slashComments⁠?: boolean

Controls whether // creates a line comment.

spaceAfterDashes⁠?: boolean

When enabled -- comments are only recognized when there's a space after the dashes.

doubleDollarQuotedStrings⁠?: boolean

When enabled, things quoted with "$" are treated as strings, rather than identifiers.

doubleQuotedStrings⁠?: boolean

When enabled, things quoted with double quotes are treated as strings, rather than identifiers.

charSetCasts⁠?: boolean

Enables strings like _utf8'str' or N'str'.

plsqlQuotingMechanism⁠?: boolean

Enables string quoting syntax like q'[str]', as used in PL/SQL.

operatorChars⁠?: string

The set of characters that make up operators. Defaults to "*+\-%<>!=&|~^/".

specialVar⁠?: string

The set of characters that start a special variable name. Defaults to "?".

identifierQuotes⁠?: string

The characters that can be used to quote identifiers. Defaults to "\"".

caseInsensitiveIdentifiers⁠?: boolean

Controls whether identifiers are case-insensitive. Identifiers with upper-case letters are quoted when set to false (which is the default).

unquotedBitLiterals⁠?: boolean

Controls whether bit values can be defined as 0b1010. Defaults to false.

treatBitsAsBytes⁠?: boolean

Controls whether bit values can contain other characters than 0 and 1. Defaults to false.
