Editor View Creation

This feature allows you to create a new editor view and attach it to the DOM. The 'parent' option specifies the DOM element to which the editor should be appended.

import { EditorView } from '@codemirror/view';

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

Customizing the Appearance

This feature enables customization of the editor's appearance using decorations and extensions, such as highlighting special characters, drawing selections, and showing a drop cursor.

import { EditorView, highlightSpecialChars, drawSelection, dropCursor } from '@codemirror/view';

const view = new EditorView({
  parent: document.body,
  decorations: EditorView.decorations.of(highlightSpecialChars()),
  extensions: [drawSelection(), dropCursor()]
});

Handling User Input

This feature involves handling user input through keymaps, which define how keyboard events are handled. The 'defaultKeymap' provides a set of standard key bindings for common editor actions.

import { EditorView, keymap } from '@codemirror/view';
import { defaultKeymap } from '@codemirror/commands';

const view = new EditorView({
  parent: document.body,
  extensions: [keymap.of(defaultKeymap)]
});
