Quasar RAT Disguised as an npm Package for Detecting Vulnerabilities in Ethereum Smart Contracts
Socket researchers uncover a malicious npm package posing as a tool for detecting vulnerabilities in Etherium smart contracts.
@codemirror/view
Advanced tools
The @codemirror/view package is a part of the CodeMirror 6 code editor ecosystem. It provides the view layer for the editor, which is responsible for rendering the document and handling user interactions. It is designed to be extensible and customizable, allowing developers to create sophisticated code editing interfaces.
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)]
});
Monaco Editor is the code editor that powers VS Code. It offers rich IntelliSense, validation, and advanced editing features. Compared to @codemirror/view, Monaco is a full-featured editor with a larger bundle size and is less modular.
Ace is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. It provides syntax highlighting, themes, and extensions. While Ace is also extensible and customizable, @codemirror/view is part of a newer generation of editors with a more modern and modular architecture.
CodeMirror (version 5 and below) is the predecessor to @codemirror/view. It is a versatile text editor implemented in JavaScript for the browser. Compared to @codemirror/view, it is less modular and not as optimized for performance and extensibility in modern web applications.
