TypeScript definitions for prismjs
@types/prismjs provides TypeScript type definitions for the PrismJS library, which is a lightweight, extensible syntax highlighter. These type definitions help developers use PrismJS in TypeScript projects by providing type safety and IntelliSense support.
Syntax Highlighting
This feature allows you to highlight code syntax for a given language. The example shows how to highlight JavaScript code.
const code = `const foo = 'bar';`;
const highlightedCode = Prism.highlight(code, Prism.languages.javascript, 'javascript');
console.log(highlightedCode);Custom Language Definition
This feature allows you to define custom languages for syntax highlighting. The example shows how to define a simple custom language with keywords and numbers.
Prism.languages.myLanguage = {
'keyword': /\b(?:if|else|for|while)\b/,
'number': /\b\d+\b/
};
const code = `if 123 else`;
const highlightedCode = Prism.highlight(code, Prism.languages.myLanguage, 'myLanguage');
console.log(highlightedCode);Plugins
PrismJS supports various plugins to extend its functionality. The example shows how to configure the autoloader plugin to load languages from a custom path.
Prism.plugins.autoloader.languages_path = 'https://example.com/prism-languages/';
Prism.highlightAll();highlight.js is another popular syntax highlighter that supports a wide range of languages. It automatically detects the language of the code block and applies the appropriate highlighting. Compared to PrismJS, highlight.js is more focused on automatic language detection and ease of use.
CodeMirror is a versatile text editor implemented in JavaScript for the browser. It provides syntax highlighting, code folding, and many other features. While it is more feature-rich than PrismJS, it is also heavier and more complex to integrate.
Ace is a standalone code editor written in JavaScript. It provides syntax highlighting, code folding, and other advanced features. Ace is designed to be embedded in web pages and is more comparable to CodeMirror in terms of functionality and complexity.
