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
});
